Wondering what movies are coming out to theaters this Friday, April 24? Here is a list with our recommendations (which you can take or leave, it's up to you).
DEFINITELY WATCH AT THE MOVIES
The Soloist
After the released date being pushed back, The Soloist is finally coming out to theaters. Unfortunately, I did read some negative reviews about it, but it's Robert Downey Jr., so I kind of have to check it out.
THE SOLOIST Movie Trailer (2008)
The trailer for Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx's new movie, THE SOLOIST, was just released yesterday.
The Soloist is based on a true story about Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a talented musician who developed schizophrenia while studying at Julliard. Now a homeless living on the streets, Nathaniel is discovered by LA Times columnist, Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.), who befriends him and decides to write an article about him.
I am really excited about this movie for 3 main reasons:
1) Because of Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx (who both look amazing in the trailer).
2) Because The Soloist made our Top 20 Christmas Movies 2008 list (#15).
3) Because it's got Oscar Buzz, which promises really strong performances.
The Soloist will be released on November 21, 2008.
Watch the trailer for The Soloist below.
What do you think of The Soloist? Will you go see it?

Twilight is the #1 Christmas Movie of 2008 because...do I even need to say it? Didn't you hear all those screaming fans over at Comic Con during the Twilight panel? And even if I wasn't screaming, I am as excited about the movie. Plus I am a big fan of Catherine Hardwicke's films. I just love her style of filmmaking. Her previous films include Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown. And don't even get me into how good the book is. Twilight is definitely #1 this Christmas. |
