The Soloist

I finally got a chance to see the Soloist which came out this past spring but I don't think was very successful at the box office. It tells the true story of a friendship between Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) who was a reporter for the LA Times and Nathanial Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a homeless man in LA suffering from schizophrenia and a gifted musician who attended Juilliard.

If you haven't seen it yet, it's solidly good movie.

Here's the trailer...



and here's an NPR interview with Steve Lopez...
