Multiplex

We don't often bring you the joy of Ms Becky Bamboo's film reviews - we're not that sort of blog - but we're able to bend the rules when its 8 Mile, aren't we?

so, 8 mile was really fucking good. sure, the story is yer typical rocky, rah-rah underdog plot (amy said it was just coyote ugly with rap), but the performances are great (eminem is very good. really restrained and intense with these manic blasts of violence), the music rocks (the final rap battle was awesome - funny and witty), and it looks all grey and grimy. loved it. I thought kim basinger was a little out of place, but then I saw a picture of em's mom and she is a total glamour queen, so I guess that casting wasn't too far off.
