Default Spike Lee movies....

I've watched several of his movies and can't say I've enjoyed a single one. Now his new movie "Miracle at St. Anna" has received poor reviews. Why does Hollywood kiss the asses of certain people but shit on some brilliant film makers?

Interested to hear what others think.

As much as I think of Spike Lee as a scumbag as a person, the guy is nothing short of brilliant, and is one of the best film makers of all time.

I can't wait to see Miracle at St. Anna. I've been told it was a very good movie. Those who have seen it, question why a movie like this wasn't made years ago?

It amazes me how shallow today's society is. Everyone seems to admire anything that lack substance now. (Paris Hilton, Lindsy Lohan, and all the other stupid so-called celebs out there).

I liked Inside Man and the 25th hour. I need to see more of his movies though before I can justify bashing or loving him.

Inside man, Do the right thing, 25th Hour, Summer of Sam, He got game...The list goes on. I'll admit several of his films are aimed at the black audience, but still good films for all to enjoy

I think Miracle at St. Anna will be his first "widely" released film, all the others have had a limited release like they're independent films or something

St. Anna looks good, I want to see it.

I still think Spike Lee is a scum bag though.

Hey, at least Lindsy Lohan was a movie star and she was good in the Parents Trap. Well, technically, Paris Hilton MADE a movie too.
