Tuesday's Column: "Rudo Y Cursi" Review
Anecdote: I went to see a screening of "Goal" in Redondo Beach a few years ago when a whole bunch of Galaxy players were there including goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. After the movie was over I asked Hartman what he thought of it and he said it was good - but then admitted he didn't hold films in general to a very high standard. Well, I do. If I have two hours to spare I'd rather see a soccer game than a soccer related (or any) movie. But I made the trip to West Hollywood for this one. And it was, for the most part, worth it. The ending was not what I'd hoped for - but then after watching the Galaxy, you get used to it.
