First off a review of "The Soloist" starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx. You will see rows of this new title at the video store. Keep walking. I was very disappointed after seeing this one. Both performances were just "ok". Very bland, and slow moving without caring a lick about the characters is how I was left feeling after this 2-hour snore-fest.
G.I.Joe on the other hand...was great. It was what I expected going in...action-packed...far-fetched...and fun. As a fan of the cartoon, action figures and comic books as a kid, It was very fun to see Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow and the other characters in "real-life" form. If you are expecting a rich plot, and Academy Award-like performances...go rent Shawshank Redemption. If you want to leave your brain at the door, and escape for two hours into a world of explosions, cheesy lines (true to the comic) and great action, check it out...and bring the kids...they'll love it too. (there is a few s-bombs, but all-in-all the film is fairly PG rated.
Thanks to our sales guy Ron Deluney who forwarded me this picture of Sid at the Dockyard.
Congrats Sid the Kid! Wow! 40,000 people showed up to Sidney Crosby's Stanley Cup Parade! It was great to see such community support, and it was equally as impressive seeing Sydney show as much love back. From the Dockyards to Cole Harbour Place where he grew up as a budding young hockey prodigy, Sid never seems to forget where he came from, and for a young NHL star that's huge, and I hope he wins a bunch more.
