SPIKE LEE TRIBUTE Begins! - mixed in with the other posts this weekend we're looking at some selected films from this amazing and now legendary director, starting off with a couple of the obvious ones like "INSIDE MAN" (2006)....THE HORROR!!

"I've seen the future of cinema 

and his name is Spike Lee"

- John Pierson, indie film guru and producer

who invested and produced Spike's first few films.

This weekend I'm taking a look at some Spike Lee 

favorites, both new and old. I see both Inside Man

and 25th Hour as the two films much more in the

mainstream than his others, Hollywood formula

stuff if you will, but they still have the Spike Lee

stamp on them. I totally dig Inside Man but

agree with Roger Ebert's review below that

the script could have used another going 

over or two. Using my Palm Springs Rating

System, I give Inside Man Three Palm Trees.
