The Soloist
What a complete waste of my time. And when I said that out loud, my snookey said, “your time!”, which meant a complete waste of both our time.
Jamie Foxx was supposedly some music prodigy who went to Juliard when he was younger but ended up getting out of there when he started to hear the voices in his head.
Robert Downey Jr. is the journalist who needs a story and finds him and proceeds to try to get him into some symphony somewhere.
I rented this movie because they had absolutely no other Blu-Ray movies in the store at Rogers. And although I didn’t want to see it, the Rogers guy told me it was a good movie and that there was “good character development”. I think this guy must have taken a class in the characteristics of good movies because good character development is not usually something I think of. I think of good or bad, or amusing or totally not funny. I’m a little more simplistic than Mr. Rogers Video guy.
Anyway, I didn’t see any good character development. I would have turned it off if I hadn’t been waiting for the good character development to happen.
Don’t bother renting it, or do if you have insomnia.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
Always go with your first instincts!! Mine, is avoid this movie by all cost. So far it seems to be right
