8 Mile/Boys N The Hood/Higher Learning DVD

8 Mile:
8 Mile explores a week in the lives of a group of young people struggling to find their way in urban decay of 1995 Detroit. For people like Jimmy 'Rabbit' Smith, Jr. (EMINEM) and his friends, hip-hop is the only thing standing between them and the void. Rabbit knows his ticket out is through his rhymes, but to succeed, he has to channel his anger into his lyrics, and face the showdown of his life. Featuring outstanding performances from Eminem, academy award winner Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy and Mekhi Phifer.
Boyz N The Hood:
Boyz N The Hood is the critically acclaimed story of three friends growing up in a South Central Los Angeles. "The Hood" is a place where harmony coexists with adversity, especially for three young men growing up there: Doughboy (Ice Cube), an unambitious drug dealer; his brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a college-bound teenage father; and Ricky's best friend Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), who aspires to a brighter future beyond "The Hood." Strengthened by a father who keeps him on the right track, Tre is put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home.
