Listless "Fools Gold"

"The lure of Matthew McConaughey shirtless for extended stretches doubtless has some marketing value, but after that, Fool's Gold offers small compensation -- a listless romantic comedy that, almost out of desperation, turns a little more violent than necessary near the end, " writes Variety's Brian Lowry in a 2.4 review.


"Treasure hunting has certainly worked for the National Treasure franchise, and an earlier McConaughey-Kate Hudson pairing enjoyed some success. Still, after however many doubloons can be hauled up from the utterly review-proof, it's hard to envision Warner Bros. separating too many fools from their money."

Wells would know that Hudson was at the Super Bowl, if he had watched it.

Kate Hudson was in the Patriots' owners' booth today. Will she get killed for cursing them the way Jessica Simpson cursed the Cowboys?

I think the Boston Globe is going to take the brunt of the "curse" allegations, as they were taking preorders for a "19-0" book on Amazon this week.

Oh, and does McConaughey has bigger boobs than Hudson?

Groucho Marx:

Sampson And Delilah Story


I was once invited to Cecil De Mille's projection room, and they were running "Samson and Delilah" with Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature. I'm sure many of you have seen that picture, some time or other. So Cecil De Mille came up to me, when the picture was over and he said "How did you like the picture?" I said "It'll be a failure." And he said "Why? Why will it be a failure?" "Because you got the characters wrong. Victor Mature has much bigger knockers than Hedy Lamarr."

They never asked me at the Paramount again.

I'm sure he'd feel the same about Matt and Kate.

If it pulled an INTO THE BLUE tone in it's last act then it would be hilarious.

Matt is my favorite. I saw his profile on millionaire dating site http;//WealthyRomance.com last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on that site.

Heath Ledger is dead but McConaughey lives on. Proof positive that God has no taste.

Whoever did McConaughey's Hair Weave/Transplant should give Elton John, Burt Reynolds, and Tony Bennett a call.

This has got to be the best Hair job ever done for a motion picture actor. Seriously.

I hear mcconaughey scares away the women, eventually, because he smells worse that a homeless man. Credit to Constanza : 'Thats not B.O., that's B.B.O'.

And, yes, Kate Hudson's got no boobs. but give her credit. she never went for the quick boob fix like many boobs in hollywood have. she does have a luminous face, though.

The nike air force ones would even have numerous refreshed editions which achieves almost a total of 800 million dollars annually as a revenue account. Our team here in BAK even mentioned once in our postings that Nelly even added something exciting to it by coming up with a song called the Air Force Ones as an expression of his love for the iconic product. Nelly, as a leading hip hop sensation made an amazing influence to the overall popularity standing of the Nike shoe model.
