Red Hook Summer Sundance 2012: Red Hook Summer   Movie Review

Spike Lee is back!  He premiered his latest joint, Red Hook Summer this week at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival to a sold out crowd of 1300, and it has become one of the most talked about films of the festival.  In a return to form (and Brooklyn), Lee brings back the colorful visual and storytelling style (and even a few characters!), that made him famous with Do The Right Thing.  As usual, he doesn’t pull any punches, and left audiences with a lot to discuss.  Check out the rest of the review after the jump…

The Wire and The Shield are the two best Police/Crime-themed TV shows of all time. Trying to pick which one is “better” is more or less a futile pursuit, but I will attempt to do so in about 500 words.

NEW FEATURE FILMS

“The Dark Knight”

Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine

There’s only one DVD release this week that matters and it’s this one, right? Right? I mean, this is the only DVD release that matters for the rest of the year. For the rest of the decade. For the rest of time. This is the greatest movie ever made. If you didn’t see it fifteen times in the theater you deserve to be tarred and feathered.
