ohhh film reviews….. im bored and nowt to do so here goes…..

Goal….. totally execellent folks…. you girls should love it as well..

If you like rags-to-riches fairy tales, you’ll love this romanticised ode to unrealistic dreams. Fortunately, the direction and performances are good enough to get us through the progressively hackneyed storyline.

Santiago Muñez (Becker) is a young Mexican who illegally crossed into America as a child. He lives with his angry single dad (Plana) in Los Angeles, working two jobs and playing football (that’s soccer to the Yanks) every chance he gets. One day he’s spotted by a has-been talent scout (Dillane), who arranges a trial with the Newcastle United manager (Iures). Now in cold, rainy Northeast England, Santiago has a month to prove himself worthy of playing alongside such greats as Alan Shearer and cocky new star Harris (Nivola).

I thought Goal was brilliant… would def watch again….

Green Street

Football hooligans have always been a blight on the beautiful game and any movie about them always seems to glorify the violence but can ‘Green Street’ be any different?

Unlike ‘Football Factory’ the movie tries to explain the reasons behind the organised violence that drives the ‘firms’ that associate themselves with the football clubs. Now we see that this is England’s equivalent of the turf wars between the US gangs but they use their fists instead of guns. It is all about respect and their reputation amongst the firms.

This film is partly autobiographical. And this authenticity lends a sharp edge to what would otherwise be yet another gritty drama about British yob culture.

When aspiring journalist Matt (Wood) is thrown out of Harvard, he heads for London to visit his sister Shannon (Forlani) and her husband Steve (Warren). But before the first day is over, Matt has fallen in with Steve’s brother Pete (Hunnam) and the Green Street Elite, a gang of football hooligans supporting West Ham. The problem is that, to these guys, the only thing worse than being a Yank is being a turncoat journalist. So Matt has a big secret.

**Pete, the thuggish leader of the pack, is played by Charlie Hunnam, a name I knew, but could not quite place. Seeing the movie did not help, so I checked him up on the internet. When I released that he played Nathan in “Queer as Folk,” I did perhaps the first genuine double-take of my life.
