Blockbuster shipped us The Soloist the other day. Great movie! It’s based on a true story about a cellist who dropped out of Juilliard because he was beginning to suffer from schizophrenia. (For those of you who don’t know, Juilliard is a world-famous music school in New York.) He ends up living on the street in Los Angelos, where a columnist for a local paper runs into him. Both Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. are fabulous in the movie, and the movie does a great job of revealing the complexities involved with trying to help a homeless person suffering from mental illness.
Lowell and Pam rating: All thumbs up!
Yeah, I want to see this movie sometime. It’s been on my “Want to See” list.
It was a fantastic movie!! John & I both really enjoyed the content and the quality of the acting. We saw a good one last night – State of Play with Russell Crowe & Ben Affleck…actually, a great ensemble cast. Almost as good as another recent flick called Duplicity (with Clive Owen & Julia Roberts). Those are my reccomendations. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Hey, thanks for the recommendations. We watched Duplicity a while back and enjoyed it as well…definitely an unexpected ending in that one.
