Oscar for Terrence

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2005)

I loved it. It wasn't just about hip hop. It was about someone finding who you are and working for your dreams. Terrence D. Howard was very impressive. He showed the emotion that's rarely depicted of a pimp, hustler, or rapper for that matter. Hopefully this is the type of role that can propel Terrence into bigger roles , just as Collateral & Ray did for Jamie Foxx. Hollywood need these actors.
Also as a hip hop lover it was cool to see the sound & way of life of the 'Dirty South". As a East coaster from NY that was a first where the Southern hood is represented well. I thought Taryn Manning, Anthony Anderson, & Ike Hayes were exceptional performances.
