Ebert, Mookie, And Me.

Roger Ebert loves Spike Lee. I love Spike Lee. Roger Ebert is my boy. Not just because we feel the same way about Spike Lee (it don't hurt though) but because Ebert really knows how to explain a Spike Lee movie. Where I might just let my emotions override what I'm actually trying to say and I just turn into sound effects with the word "Mookie" sprinkled in throughout, Ebert respects the work and effort that Spike Lee puts into his movies and knows how to get that point across. He can explain to you what's happening inside the frame of a Spike Lee shot and he can give solid insight as to what's happening behind the camera. Ebert's been leading the Lee charge from the time "She's Gotta Have It" was released and his opinion/review to watching "Do The Right Thing" when it was first released in Cannes is legend, that is if movie reviewers can have legends.



Head over to Roger Ebert's site right now and check out his blog called Great Movies where he discusses great films past and present. Ebert just revisited Spike Lee's "The 25th Hour" starring Edward Norton. If you haven't seen the movie do not read the blog. Actually if you haven't seen "The 25th Hour" go handle that right now then check out Ebert's solid look back on it.
