Whats up with people here and Spike Lee? He sucks balls!
Knowing he's going to direct Oldboy (one of my favorite movies) is a big disappointment!. His only decent movie was 25th Hour and Inside Man. While bunch of other average movies like Summer of Sam, and ridiculous ones like She Hate Me. People are talking about him as he's a Tarantino. Nigga please!
Do The Right Thing is great, as is Malcolm X. Clockers is pretty good as well, same for his documentary about Hurricane Katrina.
Finally watched
Black Swan last night. Really good, brilliant performances. Liked how they used the (digital) effects in this movie, not too often but always improving the narrative.
The Rum Diary was decent as well. One of those few movies that actually get better as they progress. Too many dull/uninteresting moments though, even if that did make the impact of other scenes bigger as a result.
The Green Hornet was basically a waste of time (M. Gondry often seems to make poor films), and the same can pretty much be said about
Tamara Drewe. Even if the central performance(s) somewhat saved it.
Got my much needed fix of B-movie crap by watching
Storm Warning: meh. A few decent scenes can't save an entire movie.
While
Dinner Rush is well worth a watch, but probably not for everyone.
