a Spike Lee classic

+ Powerful flim

I tend to like all of Spike Lee's films becaue they make you think. I believe Spike Lee's forte is in the dialogue he has in his films. There is something about the genuineness of the dialogues which are very compelling. This is true of all of his films, but particularly this one where Edward ...

Girl 6

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006

An Overlooked, Under Appreciated Film

+ '6' is for sex, fun, laughs, a few tears and a good time

At the beginning we meet a very beautiful woman who is sure she is meant to be an actor but is ...
