8 Mile

The slightly grainy look this movie has actually lends to the grittiness of the story.

I believe this was my third time watching this movie since I bought it, based on the praises that my sister gave.

I personally don't like much in this music genre, and the life style that is promoted in this movie is far from desirable. However the awaking of the character through the movie is somewhat up lifting.

While its never going to be a classic, it is the classic tale of the underdog that rises to victory. In short it's one mans life story of coming to the reality that the only person he can truly count on is himself.

The extras include a music video from Eminem that basically tells his distrust about women. It's hard for me to get into a style of music that disrespects women so frequently. If you're in a relationship with a user, leave her and move on, call it a learning experience, don't taint a generation of people with your emotional baggage.

All said, the sound quality is great, and the picture is actually in widescreen and of decent quality. However, I am not interested in upgrading from my DVD copy.
