Soloist
I remember seeing the preview for The Soloist a while back and the main reason why I had wanted to see the film was to see if Robert Downey Jr. could come come off of such an amazing performance in Iron Man, and do it again in a completely different genre of film.  Not only was he able to deliver another outstanding acting performance, I thought his role as LA Times journalist Steve Lopez might have been one if his best performances yet, despite the film being highly underrated.  While …

This is the first time since watching Criterion LaserDiscs with real live director or film historian commentary, have bonus features been this movie enhancing.    The Soloist is a solid movie about a Los Angeles Times journalist that meets a homeless man playing a two stringed …
