Movie Review

I've decided to give up TV for lent (mostly for the purpose of freeing up time), so I'm actually not sure what movie I last saw outside of school. As such, I think I'll just talk about the movies we've watched in class. I did rather like Exit Through the Gift Shop, but I didn't think it was anything spectacular. Do the Right Thing was awful. I was really bored while we watched that, so I mostly just tried to tune it out and read or do something else. The movie adaptation of The Autobiography of Malcolm X left very much to be desired as well. All excuses of time constraints aside, valid as they are, it was a mediocre movie. Since those are the only two movies directed by Spike Lee I've seen (that I know of) I think I can safely say he's off to a poor start in my book. I don't intend on watching any more of his movies, however, so I guess that's how it'll stay. I didn't really care about the Copyright Criminals thing. I've heard good things about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so I'm looking forward to seeing the end of that and commend this selection. The Road was probably by far the worst movie we've seen to date.
