Miracle at St. Anna Review
Of all of the war-movie staples that have become embedded in audiences' minds over the past 50 years, black characters – even token ones – are not one of them. Never one to shy away from controversy, Spike Lee has fervently criticized this lack of diversity, especially in WWII movies, which is at least part of why his latest film Miracle at St. Anna focuses on African-American soldiers. Unfortunately, by choosing for his definitive portrait a tale based on a fictional novel rather than an actu

Review: Miracle at St. Anna
I feel sorry for Spike Lee. He is, after all, a tremendously talented filmmaker. However, with his new film Miracle at St. Anna, his personal issues, political views and overbearing ego gets in the way of making a good movie. This film first gained national attention last year when Lee complained ...

Review: ‘Miracle at St. Anna’
This Spike Lee joint is filled with emotions that we haven’t seen from a war movie lately, and left me wanting more. The story follows 4 black soldiers in WWII that are part of a group that has to storm a Nazi covered hillside. After making it over the river with most of their fellow soldiers getting killed, they run up the side of a mountain and seek cover while backup comes. In the process the meet a young Italian child that is in need of help, so they take him into a local village and camp out unti

Spike Lee fends off partisan attack
Film News: 'Miracle' blasted in Italy as misrepresentation -- Spike Lee’s "Miracle at St. Anna" is raising historical hackles in Italy, where the WWII drama — which links an anti-Fascist Italian partisan resistance group to the 1944 Nazi massacre of 560 Italian civilians — is being blasted as misrepresentation.

Review: 'Miracle at St. Anna' a muddled mess
Spike Lee's last film, the gratifyingly tense and tricky "Inside Man," was celebrated -- rightly -- for the way that Lee finally jumped, feet first, into the studio-genre-movie game.

Miracle at St. Anna Movie Review
Miracle at St. Anna is A Spike Lee dis(JOINT)ed film. Unfortunately the only miracle at this premiere was that people didn’t get up and leave the theater before it was over. The film starts with the seemingly random killing of a man in a bank. While every part of you expects that the murder will be explained, two plus hours into the story you’ll be asking yourself if the opening scene actually had anything to do with this jarring jaunt back and forth through the lives of the main characters. Th

'Miracle' man Spike Lee crafts WWII masterpiece
If you enjoy World War II movies, you are going to love Spike Lee’s “Miracle at St. Anna.” Forget about the supposed rancor between Lee and Clint Eastwood regarding Eastwood’s “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters From Iwo Jima.” Call me crazy, but I prefer to think those two were slyly touting Lee’s movie. Based on a fact-based novel by journalist-author-musician James McBride and adapted by him, the film, a masterful and wonderfully sensuous demonstrati

'Miracle' is mired in war clichés
Poor Spike Lee. You just knew the moment he lashed out at Clint Eastwood for leaving black soldiers out of his two-part Iwo Jima epic that he had really put his foot in it. And now here's proof. "Miracle at St. Anna" is Lee's sloppy, absurdly long mashup of combat film clich

Eagle Eye LeBeouf and a Warring Spike Lee
Politics, in all its forms, invades theaters this weekend. This past year, Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood engaged in a very public feud over Eastwood's two WWII films (Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima). Lee called out Eastwood for ignoring black soldiers, and Eastwood shot back saying Lee should "shut his face." Lee replied, "We're not on a plantation, Clint." Mmkay, then. The feud provides an interesting backdrop for Lee's latest, Miracle at St. Anna, which follows a battalion of black soldi

Movie Drinking Games: Miracle at St. Anna
Not too long ago, Spike Lee gave Clint Eastwood a tongue lashing about the lack of attention the African American soldier got in recent WWII films. So, Spike decided to make his own movie about the Buffalo Soldiers. Unfortunately, the 166-minute running time of Miracle at St. Anna might make ...

Spike Lee Tortures You With His Tortuous War Movie
Poor Spike Lee. Every huge Hollywood director has his huge WWII movie that gets huge praise. Miracle at St. Anna is not that movie. Unlike Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan and Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima, Miracle at St. Anna isn't getting lapped up by the reviewing class, typically suckers for the WWII nostalgia. We have a theory why: It's because he's black! Or maybe it's because the movie's too long, too trite, and too simple. Let's see what the reviewers have to say: "Miracle at St.
