Kickin' it old school late last night, I popped in "Eight Men Out." A film from 1988, it depicts the true story of the betting scandal that rocked the 1919 World Series. The Chicago Black Sox are followed from winning the National Championship to the trial deciding whether to convict them of intentionally losing the World Series. For baseball fans, "Eight Men Out" is a great movie that shows the undoing of one of the most dominant teams in history and one of the best players of all time, Shoeless Joe Jackson. Charlie Sheen and John Cusack are a few B-list sized names that show up in the cast through out the movie. As a baseball nut, I really enjoy watching this film. As a movie fan, I'm not so sure. I'd have to score it 7/10 based on the fact that I really like it but I think I might be carrying some bias.
