What I'm doing is, going through our semi-alphabetized DVD collection and watching whatever it is to completion. Extra features and all. OK, so enough babbling. Let's get on with the babbling... about movies!
I will give you this introduction, but if you want more go here.
The film takes place in Detroit, but Kim Basinger is the only character who speaks with a southern accent. Yes, Kim Basinger is in this and she plays the whore, trailer trash mother of Eminem. Sadly the whole movie is pretty much a waste of time, but the scenes with here are really funny.
The movie is mediocre as well as its extras. There is a making of feature that interviews cast and crew, but suspiciously none of the female actors. Brittany Murphy and Kim Basinger are probably the biggest stars of that film, but however not interviewed at all in the short documentary. I guess they couldn't be bothered with this DVD any more than I could. There's also a 20+ minute doc on the making of the battle rap scenes from the movie, which is as exciting as it sounds, but the biggest let down was the music video section. The story occurs in the mid 90s, so the hip hop soundtrack to it is awesome, however.... The titles of these 90s rap gems are shown, but what you get on pressing play is the scene from the movie, when they used that song. OK, I'm over it, I hated it, moving on.
You've seen it. You loved it. You should know that the DVD extras are worth far more than the $5 I paid for this treasure and the $0 I paid for ol' 8Mile. There a tons of deleted scenes, outtakes, bloopers, etc. Also, I'll give you some advice on DVD purchases. Buy anything that Paul Rudd has been in because the deleted scenes and outtakes are always funny. Love Paul Rudd, no-homo.
Tune in again when we, as in myself, talk nerdy and gesture wildly about the animated film, Akira.
