A reminder that Spike Lee is one of our great American filmmakers, unafraid to address, directly and artfully, contemporary issues in a context of national history.

Worth seeing, mostly for its colorful period design and lively musical numbers, but this version of the "official story" takes some wrong turns.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith has a one-joke premise, and it's one we've seen before....But Liman fights valiantly to sustain the newfangled comic tango and largely succeeds.

Graham Greene it's not....Whitaker's striking work aside, The Last King of Scotland is insipid, obvious movieland history.
