The Soloist: A Review

(7/10) Just saw this last night. Maybe it's just me but I felt there wasn't as much marketing or exposure for this movie. Interesting enough, this is loosely based on true events by LA Time reporter, Steve Lopez. The movie captures the imagination of Nathniel Ayers, played by none other than Jamie Foxx. Ayers, who's homeless but displays a unique talent of playing the violin grabs the attention of Lopez, played by Robert Downey Jr.. Lopez goes through great lengths to dig into his past and to reunite him with his former love, the Cello. The score and orchestra scenes are very powerful and can leave one with the chills. Worth checking out in theaters.

Adventureland: A Review

(5/10) This is a bit of a delayed review which shows how much of an impression that this flick left me. I enjoyed the unique plot of a young boy learning expand his horizon by working a small carnival-like amusement park called ADVENTURELAND. I felt at times I felt it tried too hard but had its enjoyable moments. Much of the plot is sketchy because it didnt' do a good job of establishing characters and did do a much better job casting some of the characters either. Ryan Reynolds as a mechanic!? COME ON! Jesse Eisenberg is slowly becoming a household name/poster boy for clueless naive virgin boys. Check out RODGER DODGER... nuff' said.

Bee Killa

Since Easter sunday my mom found out there was a bit of a bee infestation in on of the dressers that we moved out earlier in the week. We all went about it as if they would leave. My mom arrives and reminds me that we have such a problem and that it has gotten progressively worse. I'M TALKING A SWARM HERE!. So I google "how to get rid of bees" and recieved a few tips (i.e. anything from cutting open a soda bottle to just hiring a bee remover to do the job). I don't know about you but i ain't spending NO $150 bucks to remove some goddamn bees! So I bravely suggest to my mom that I can take care of the problem. Armed with 2 fully loaded raid cans and a pressure hose and some big balls.....They all went down...ONE BY ONE.
