I watched two of the bigger DVD releases for today earlier in the week because I get the hookup at the video store so I thought I would do some quick reviews.

First was Be Kind Rewind starring Jack Black and Mos Def and it was pretty awesome. Very cool visuals from the director of Eternal Sunshine and overall a fun and zany movie. Very funny at times and a little dragging at others, but overall entertaining. Classic Jack Black and memorable Mos Def. Mos is one of the most actor-not-actors there is I think. 16 Blocks is a good flick.

Then there was Fools Gold starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McCaughnannahhhheeaayyhhaggey. There was not much to this movie except the following:

• A) a generic plot.
• B) hot Kate Hudson.
• C) barely alive Donald Sutherland.
• D) Matthew M. wearing no shoes or shirt the entire movie. Honestly, maybe two scenes.

I was a fool for watching Fool’s Gold but I thought maybe there’d be a shirtless Hudson for a change instead of McCaun-a-hey. I’m starting to think that he does all the stuff he does in his movies in real life. Because all he ever does is drink, play in the water, and go on adventures. And everything I’ve seen on his real life features the same stuff. The probably don’t even give him a script.

Recipe for a romantic comedy superstar: Ripped-ness, Tan-ness, a ‘Southern twang’ no matter what the character’s background is, and a child-like mentality that only a woman like Kate Hudson can change.

It’s just getting repetitive. I’m ready to see less Failure to Launch and more Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.

Okay, so not more TCM: The Next Generation. But more…Ed TV? Nah, screw that too.
