Derek Adams
I succumbed to the very occasional charms of this fair, good-natured romcom adventure and left the screening in quite a good mood.
Richard Roeper
Fool's Gold is so predictable that seeing the trailer is essentially the same as seeing the movie.
Claudia Puig
Not only do we not care about the lost treasure, their characters aren't developed enough for us to give a hoot, so nothing about this story strikes gold.
Peter Howell
It's not a complete power failure, but it's close.
Moira MacDonald
This movie feels very generic and very, very long; after it's over, you might need a little sunscreen for your brain.
Mick LaSalle
So intricate, so convoluted and so full of various character names that it becomes impossible to follow.

The movie winds up as a lot of pretty people sitting around a movie set waiting for a director and writers to strike comic or romantic gold. At least their tans were 24 karat.

The movie is framing a vivid snapshot of Europe's post-modern coastal culture, which is significantly influenced by the hippie heritage of the 1960s, modern surfing pop-industry and the vital relationship of coastal inhabitants with Mother Nature. The Old, the Young & the Sea introduces the audience into a world of cultural discovery, surprising encounters and the search for the spirit of traveling. The movie begins with elderly gentlemen; pioneers of the 60s and 70s, telling their story on how surf and with it traveling started for them personally and in Europe generally. Modern day camper Milea introduces us to the casual lifestyle of a traveling surfer now, Guilherme and Jonas are determined to become professional surfers later, what Aritz and Tim already are.

The drivers and machines continue to raise the bar and push themselves beyond all limits. "We actually thought that we might have seen everything there was to see," said Trucks Gone Wild's Matt Steele, "That was until Cory Rummell did the first ever backflip in a mud truck. We love surprises like that!" Watch as history was made in the opening chapter of TGW16 with the first ever backflip in a home built mud truck. Combine that with TGW Tour stops all across the country and you have the non-stop, hard partying, thrill ride that is TGW16. This is not your Grandfather's mud bogging video. This is 4x4 insanity with huge parties, hot chicks, and the most fun you'll ever have. This is TGW16

Le Mans 2014
Sports

2014 saw the eagerly anticipated return of Porsche to the Le Mans fray. The 919 hybrid looked to add to the legend forged by cars like the 917, 956 and 911. Le Mans in 2014 is a very different proposition to that faced by the Munich company's designers and engineers in 1998 when they last won the historic race outright. Audi, Porsche's stablemate certainly weren't going to hand their hard won LMP1 crown to Porsche without a fight and (relatively) new kids on the block Toyota had their sights firmly set on a first win. In short, Porsche had a heck of a hill to climb. It all made for one of the most thrilling Le Mans 24 races in recent memory and gave the commentary team at Radio Le Mans more than enough subject matter for their marathon efforts. Add in to the mixture a truly exciting LMP2 class and some great racing amongst the GTEs and you've got the perfect recipe for the most prestigious motor race on the calendar. Duke's review features four hours of the best highlights, packed full of close-ups, in car shots, pit lane angles and spectacular (though thankfully not serious) crashes and you've got the best Le mans review of all time. We love it and we hope you do too.

The Armstrong Lie
Lance Armstrong was considered one of the greatest sports figures of all time and put competitive cycling into the global spotlight, by beating cancer and winning the Tour de France seven times. That success earned him an immense fortune and worldwide fame. His was also one of the most influential and inspiring sports stories of recent memory and became a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to his Livestrong initiative. Beginning in 2009, Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney followed Armstrong for four years chronicling his return to cycling after retirement, as he tried to win his eighth title. Unexpectedly, Gibney was also there in 2012 when Armstrong admitted to doping, following a federal criminal investigation, public accusations of doping by his ex-teammates, and an investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency, that led USADA's CEO, Travis Tygart, to conclude that Armstrong's team had run 'the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.

Does a screaming engine send chills up your spine? Are you looking for more action and more throttle? Well look no further! We spent an entire year traveling all over the Southeast filming the wildest show in off-road motor-sports. We followed some the most well known drivers in the sport including Time Cameron, Wes Kean, the Tanners, Brian Cole and many more. The film was shot on location at some of the best Off-Road Parks in the South. These include Gray Rock, Morris Moutain, Crusher Ridge, River Rock & Choccolocco ORV. This isn't rock-crawling as it is known out West. This is Southern Style Wheeling. Rock Bouncing is the term used for this full throttle, high speed style of wheeling that has become more and more popular over the years. These are not your typical rock-crawling rigs either these are RockRods. These full tube creations are built to handle the abuse with insane motors, built axles, huge tires, and drivers that refuse to quit. Their make it or break it attitude brings crowds of people to events every weekend.
