By subtle, I meant in terms of special effects, CGI, etc. A lot of war movies go overboard on them.

Red Hook Summer (2012)
I have really mixed feelings about this movie. I liked the premise, liked the setting, liked the way it was shot and thought Clarke Peters gave a great performance. But the whole thing felt kind of half-assed, like Spike Lee had decided to film a rough draft of a script, and the two adolescents at the heart of the story were two of the worst actors I've ever seen in my life.

We watched Hiroshima Mon Amour in film class today and honestly it could be the most beautiful film I have ever seen. Without sound it could be mistaken for art, without video it could be taken as poetry, and the union of the two is just magical.

I've never seen Crooklyn so I'm not sure. I'd say the vibe of this movie is like a mix between Do the Right Thing and Get on the Bus but not as good as either. If you like Spike Lee, it's worth seeing. It's not a bad movie. It has some great things about it, it's just very flawed.

Just saw 'Ender's Game'...oh my God what a horrible waste of my time/ life.
Maybe, if I was 13....

Spike Lee is an *******. Proven and written.
What would ever make you think his films are good?

I watched Psycho for the second time today, and how I love it. Unfortunately, the shower scene is so well known that it's not even scary to new viewers, because it's expected.

Ever seen 'Hitchcock'?
With Anthony Hopkins, and all 'at?

Cause ive seen a couple of them and they were good

Most of them always bring up the issue of racism but aside from that they were pretty decent films

The fact that some of them are good. Being an asshole and being a talented filmmaker are not mutually exclusive.
