Eminem has allowed Joe Biden’s presidential campaign to use his 8 Mile classic, “Lose Yourself,” in a new ad released Monday, November 2nd, the day before the 2020 elections.
The 45-second spot, “One Opportunity,” pulls its title from from the song’s lyrics, and it pairs “Lose Yourself” with a black-and-white montage that features people going to vote, as well as some footage from a recent Biden rally in Eminem’s home state of Michigan. The clip ends with the message: “Vote.”
Eminem shared spot on Twitter, writing: “One opportunity… #Vote.

Eminem made a surprise appearance on the Academy Awards show Sunday night, delivering a rousing rendition of “Lose Yourself,” his hit from the 2002 film “8 Mile” in which he starred — some 17 years after it won an Oscar. His appearance immediately followed a montage celebrating the sound editing/mixing award, which wound down with footage from “8 Mile” and concluded with Burt Reynolds in “Deliverance,” saying the famous line, “Sometimes you have to lose yourself before you can find anything.”
Eminem’s appearance was a tightly kept secret: Sources say the Dolby Theater was put on lockdown during rehearsals, and that if the news of his appearance leaked to the media, he had the option to cancel.
The reaction of the crowd was impressively ecstatic — the song is nearly 20 years old, after all, and several of the evening’s stars who sang along probably remember it from their teens — with everyone...

The tough guy starred in the sci-fi classic "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" and played Det. Al Corassa on TV's "Cagney & Lacey."
Paul Mantee, a burly, tough-guy actor who starred in the 1964 sci-fi cult classic Robinson Crusoe on Mars and on TV's Cagney & Lacey as Det. Al Corassa, has died. He was 82.
A longtime resident of Malibu who wrote columns for the local newspaper, Mantee played the health inspector on a 1994 episode of Seinfeld, "The Pie;" had a recurring role as Commander Clayton on Hunter, the police drama that starred Fred Dryer; and appeared as Cornell, a henchman for Catwoman who disguises himself as Batman to frame the Caped Crusader for a robbery in a 1967 storyline that saw the villainess go back to college.
Mantee died Nov. 7, The Malibu Times reported.
In Paramount's Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Byron Haskin’s adaptation of the Daniel Defoe novel, Mantee has top billing, playing the shipwrecked Cmdr.

Boldly directed and featuring a great turn from Robert De Niro, Cape Fear is among Martin Scorsese’s best films, reckons Ryan. And here's why...
Following the critical acclaim earned by such wilfully individual movies as Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese’s decision to direct a remake of an old 60s thriller was a surprising one. And yet, Scorsese’s foray into the mainstream proved to be a wise move, providing the director with yet more praise and a proper box-office hit.
In retrospect, it’s not difficult to see what Scorsese saw in the film’s apparently simple premise, adapted from John MacDonald’s 1957 novel, The Executioners. The 1962 Cape Fear, directed by J Lee Thompson and featuring the chiselled jaws of Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in its lead roles, was a tale of good versus evil: maniac convict Max Cady (Mitchum) gets out of jail...

Joe Don Baker was marketed as a martial arts star in the 1974 actioner Golden Needles, a movie I saw at the Des Peres 4 Cinema back when it was new and haven’t been able to track down since. It had never been released on VHS or DVD so I was psyched to see it’s now out as part of the “MGM Limited Edition” DVD-r series . Before starring in the hit Walking Tall in 1973, Baker had bounced around Hollywood mostly doing TV work . After Kris Kristofferson turned down the role of Buford Pusser, producers offered the role to Baker who had made an impression as Steve McQueen’s younger brother in Sam Peckinpah’s Junior Bonner in 1972.Walking Tall, a true tale about a Tennessee sheriff confronting corruption and gangsters with a large wooden club and a mean attitude, was a surprise success and Baker was soon starring in a...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (20th Century Fox) Sequel to the seminal 1980s film catches up with a weathered, but still determined Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas, who seems to savor every syllable of Allan Loeb and Stephen Schiff’s screenplay) just out of jail and back on the comeback trail. In attempting to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter (Carey Mulligan), Gekko forges a reluctant alliance with her fiancé (Shia Labeouf), himself an ambitious young turk who finds himself seduced by Gekko’s silver tongue and promise of riches. Lifeless film is further evidence of director Oliver Stone’s decline. Once America’s most exciting filmmaker, Stone hasn’t delivered a film with any teeth since 1995’s Nixon. Labeouf and Mulligan generate no sparks on-screen, and the story feels forced from the protracted opening to the final, Disney-esque denouement. Only a brief cameo by Charlie Sheen,...
