august rush tix

So, a few weeks back I got tickets to see August Rush for free.

And I still came out disappointed.

The actors (including pretty boy Jonathan Rhys Meyers, pictured, as Louis in the film) try their hardest to make it work, but the story works against them.

A full review coming up later, coupled with one for "Lars and the Real Girl." Find out what an orphaned musical genius and a shut-in who imagines a sex doll as his girlfriend have in common.

For now: I went on Saturday to see a film at the Varsity and the sneak peek of "Rush" sold out. Incredible. Although, from my guess, it was mostly older white couples, no doubt following "Rush" with a midnight showing of Beowulf.
