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.

Ruben - 1 BEES - NONE

Monsters Vs. Aliens: A Review

(9/10) Just saw this last night and it was than I bargained for. I haven't laughed so hard at a cartoon in awhile. I was actually hyped up to check this out ever since I first saw the trailer. This movie is a play on 99.9% of Alien/monster movies that were made pre-1960 (Godzilla included). I was pleasantly entertained and felt that the content wasn't necessarily gear towards children. Much of the inside jokes and antics were geared obviously to their parents. Each of the "Monsters" were great and hilarious to say the least. Goofy and ridiculous characters that left me wanting more. There's quite a few liberal subliminal messages in the movie but I'll leave that alone. Its only a movie! LOVE IT! Would see it again!

I LOVE YOU, MAN!: A Review

(8/10 )The first comedy good comedy to come out this year is I LOVE YOU, Man. You've seen the previews and I must say that this flick lives up to its hype. Paul Rudd has grown on me since his "Clueless" days. He has yet to age.  The dynamic of Jason Segel and Rudd is genuis because you truly feel as if they've been friends forever. My fave scene is the "Slapa-De-Bass" scene. Must see in THEATRES!

Sunshine Cleaning: A review

(8/10) -  This flix is a must see, I enjoyed all of the performances including Amy Adams (I was never a fan and im still skeptical). An original plotline of cleaning ladies dwelving into the world of crime scene cleanup, at the same time, trying hard to clean up their own dirty lives. I am always intrigued with any movie with Alan Arkin. I was surprised to see Clifton Collins Jr. in this movie (More recognizable from "CAPOTE" and even more notably as the gangster from "187"). He's been getting more work that allows him to break out of his LATINO stereotypes. CHECCCK IT OUT!
