  Goal Kick Off is the first part of the trilogy about Santiago Muñez (Kuno Becker) who came from Mexico to the USA. He had only one dream: to play football professionally. He makes his way to England where he gets one shot to prove himself for Newcastle United. He has to fight through adversity and in the process he finds love, friendship and everything else. It’s a great movie about fighting for what you want, and the director, Danny Cannon, made sure that the viewer gets to see football the way it should be, on the field and off the field. Many football stars, such as David Beckham, have cameo roles.
 
       
 
       
  If you’re a looking for a chick-flick this is the one for you this month. Just like Heaven stars Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, who have a natural chemistry on screen. It’s set in beautiful San Francisco, as David moves into a lovely apartment, with a great view – the perfect location in town. Unfortunately for him he has an uninvited room mate, Elizabeth, who was the previous owner. What she doesn’t know is that she’s a ghost. David helps her discover exactly who she is since she has no memory of her life. Together they go through very funny and sweet moments as their relationship grows.
