And the bloodiest mainstream movie of the year is...

...Miracle at St Anna, from Spike Lee.

It's long (2:45); it's intense (more war-like than Saving Private Ryan); it will be HUGELY controversial (little kids brutally murdered onscreen) and it will get many Oscar noms. It's a tough movie, but it's well worth seeing.

It's Spike Lee's Schindler's List.

 

tell spike to shut his face. /clint eastwood.

 

Since when has Spike Lee ever been considered "mainstream"???

 

Saw V's not out til Halloween.

 

It's Spike, I'm in. There isn't a single film he has ever done that I didn't like.

 

I figured "Malcolm X" would have gotten that kind of epic-movie distinction. But I am sure this is will be an interesting film. I just checked out the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1046997/trailers-screenplay-vi3152609561

 

It's premiering at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) which starts next week.

 

agreed.

 

I saw the trailer for this and I got really excited.
It looks like it will be really, really good.
The trailer had some religious overtones, had some history and a little bit of mystery.

 

Looks stunning.

 

Including "School Daze"?

 

Looks interesting.

Strange that Inside Man is what he is noted for and not Do the Right Thing.

I guess I'm getting old.
