Any Given Sunday (1999)
Glorification.
This movie was ok. That's about it. I really don't like football, but I put that aside when I saw this movie. The actual on-the-field scenes looked to be nothing more than a way to hook jocks and the like to the soundtrack, every 10 minute game scene had about 6 different songs playing in the background. A lot of odd cinematics and nothing but football propaganda. Off the field, it was all politics and business and personal lives of all the players/managers. Far too much yelling, un-needed shower room scenes (we _really_ didn't need to see all those penii). If you're a jock or a football fanatic you might like this movie. If you've got some brains and taste in movies you won't think much of this.
CB4 (1993)
Oldskool at its best.
This movie is a classic. I had wanted to see it when I was younger, but of course I wasn't allowed to. I saw this a few months ago and it was even better now. This is one of Chris Rock's best performances, he nails the role of a rapper perfectly (not to mention his costume...). The movie was one of the first to feature parody raps and they are great, considering this film was Pre-Insane Clown Posse and the like. "Sweat from my balls" still makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Some might say this does not transfer to the new rap school, but It definitely does. If you were once a fan of oldschool rap or are still a fan of rap, this movie is definitely worth checking out.
