Suddenly, Fools Gold doesn't seem so bad. 
We tried watching a much worse movie than Fools Gold last night... called "Witless Protection". After 20 minutes, we stopped the movie and I sealed it up in the Zip return envelope, and watched "Rent" instead.

And I watched "Fool's Gold" after just having suffered through "10,000 BC." I guess it's all relative. "Fool's Gold" was pretty empty-headed, but next to something really, really boring like "BC," it looks like an Oscar contender.
Then there were "Funny Games," "The Eye," "The Ruins," and "Drillbit Taylor" that I recently watched. "Fool's Gold" is looking better and better all the time.

Ouch John, darn I'm sorry to hear 10,000 BC. is so bad. I'll still give it a rent though, but from my zip account where it will be cheaper and make up my own mind.
But you have to realize that we rarely never cut short watching a movie because it's bad. Normally, we suffer to the end and give it a fighting chance to redeem itself somewhere. Not so with that "Witless Protection" movie. It was just too much, and I knew where it was going, how it would end, etc. from the 20 or so minutes we did watch. Perhaps culturally I didn't get the humor, but I do with similar movies that are much more original. So I blame the movie. 1 out of 10 stars.
