...been in aisle seats on Oscar Night: Jamie Foxx as the musician, Robert Downey, Jr., as the newspaperman. But The Soloist was pulled from a late-year release, to be dumped in the no-man's-land of late April. And though the film nabbed respectful reviews, audiences were quick to realize it was neither Iron Man nor Ray.
