Review: The Soloist

Movie Rating: 4 Stars

I purposefully avoided this movie over the weekend as it looked excessively boring... But I was quite pleasantly suprised!

SYNOPSIS

The story focuses on Nathaniel Ayers, once a promising cello student at Julliard, but times were hard on him and he was kicked out by society and now lives on the street.

Nathaniel has a very interested story, full of dark secrets, a compplicated mind, and no-one to care for him... To hear more about Nathaniel, I recommend you to watch the movie!

MUSIC

I was slightly dissapointed with this aspect of the movie, as a biopic of a musician I would have expected a good musical score to accompany it, but this didn't really comw up with the goods...

I will say, however, there was a nice compilation of classical pieces that Nathaniel played on his cello, and will keep fan's of classical music happy.

EMOTIONS

This was one of the movie's strong points, and dwelt upon humanity and inter-human relationships.

There is a beautiful ending too, which I will not divulge to you at this present time.

STORYLINE

It's a true story and I'm sure that will be quite sufficient evidence that it must be at least interesting... Well itt kept my attention throughout the movie!

CONCLUSION

don't go by the boring outlook of this movie, once you get in the screen you will be captivated.

Thanks for reading,

Mike Buckingham

http://www.latinoreview.com/news/the-lost-boys-are-thirsty-for-more-8094: "Just a year after Lost Boys 2: The Tribe, the sequel to 80s cult hit The Lost Boys, was released straight to DVD, Bloody Disgusting has learned that Warner Premiere has signed on Dario Piana (The Deaths of Ian Stone) to direct Lost Boys 3: The Thirst. Evan Charnov, whose only writing credit is the made-for-TV Fearless, wrote the screenplay and Corey Feldmen, who starred as Edgar Frog in the previous two films, has confirmed that he will be returning to the role."

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

Movie Rating: 3 Stars

everyone knows that the reason Cloudy got to it's possition at number one at the box office was because it was filmed in 3D... But I still love 3D... So I quite enjoyed this movie.

The movie in itself holds no real artistic merit, but is just perfect on the graphics!

SYNOPSIS

A failed scientist fins fame in creating a machine that turns water into food... And the comedy builds on errors that may arise from using such a machine.

STORYLINE

Hey it's a kids movie... Doesn't need a particularly strong plot-line.

GRAPHICS

What would you expect from a 3D movie? It's got excellent graphics!

CONCLUSION

Enjoy the movie but don't expect anything of too much artistic merit.
