You'll remember how crazy I was about the first I wish I owned stock in Eminem, because he is about to explode. Sure, he's a trash talking bad boy of hip hop, but he is very talented and very popular. This film is loosely based on his life, and his very rocky relationship with his mother, his wife, and his daughter. Oscar winner Kim Basinger pops up as Eminem's mom here, a tip off that this is not an easily dismissible film-further emphasized when one considers that the director here also did L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys. Seeing the trailer, one gets the feeling that the movie may surprise even the most anti-rap audience. People offended by his music may find him loveable on film. And by the way, he's a good lookin' kid, which never hurts. This movie will also open at #1. Guaranteed. Opens Nov. 6, 2002. This movie was put on hold after 9/11. Directed by powerhouse Martin Scorcese and starring Leonardo Dicaprio, Daniel Day Lewis, and a red headed Cameron Diaz, it's about...well....gangs...in New York City. In the nineteenth century-a time neglected thus far by most except for the Civil War. DiCaprio and Diaz, in spite of any bubblegum image they may have, are extremely competent actors. The subject matter is rumored to be very violent, but Leo fans have another choice (see below). Oh, and everything Coppola does is revered by critics and regular folks alike. This movie will be battling it out with LOTR, because it opens two days later, on Dec.20, 2002.
