The Soloist](The Soloist (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)
It seemed like the sort of project to explode with praise and critical acclaim – Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx in the story of a talented homeless musician who once went to Julliard. The reality, however, didn’t live up to expectation. In her review, Jette Kernion said: “the overall film isn’t compelling, and the plot falls into the easy traps of traditional melodrama.” Still … Rent it. Also on Blu-ray.

Obsessed](Obsessed (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)
One of the classic cases of reviewer v. audience. The story of a psycho Beyonce didn’t charm the critical eye, and Scott even said: “Obsessed feels a lot like a refugee from the Lifetime Network that just happened to have a budget.” Nevertheless, it exploded. I say Skip It …** but I have a feeling that won’t matter. Also on Blu-ray.
