What has happened to Movies?

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2002)

I cant understand what has happened to movies. Movies that not that long ago would got review ratings of 4-5 are now getting 8+ to 9. Changing lanes, Panic Room, etc.. and now this junk called 8 Mile. First off, Mathers cant act. Im sorry but he's being spoon fed by the director the whole time. thats not acting. and from i've seen lately, who cant act now days? It seems any rapper that gets a movie made is a "natural" and comes off the screen with this presence,etc... There's no doubt that Mathers would not have even got a try out for this or any other movie unless is was has big in "music" as he is so that pretty much tells you what he shouldnt be doing. Norton, Crowe, and even Cruise have nothing to worry about from Mathers, but the fate of the movie biz does! If Citizen Kane, 2001, etc.. are 10's then how on Earth can Signs,Panic Room, 8 Mile be 8's and 9's? Whats wrong with that picture?
