• man, July was suppose to be the month that I would go see a lot of
  movies on the big screen, but alas that wasn't the case.  There
  were a lot of movie releases that I simply skipped (for August), movies
  I were originally planning to watch but decided not to (wait for DVD),
  and even had three free movie screenings that I didn't get to go
  to.  On the small screen however, I was able to give the DVD
  player some loving. One for the big screen, and five for the small
  screen.

  On the Big Screen
  - Fantastic Four  ( C+ )

  On the Small Screen
  - The Return To The Batcave : the misadventures of Adam and Burt ( C+ )
  - Perfect Blue  ( C+ )
  - Dogtown and Z-Boys  ( A- )
  - Ocean's Twelve ( C+ )
  - 8 mile  ( C )

  

  yeah, I haven't done my write up for 8 mile
  yet, so here goes. Wasn't impressed, in fact I was kinda
  disappointed.  I heard accolades and compliments for the film, but
  didn't see why. It was a very generic standard film that followed all
  the cliches that comes with a movie like this.  In fact, it could
  have passed as a made for TV movie.  Eminem
  wasn't even that great of an actor, and practically had only one facial
  expression and one personality throughout the whole film.  There
  are only two positive compliments I can give the film. The city was
  represented very well and really came to life.  The rap battles
  were also pretty cool. So yeah, mostly an overrated film. "C"
