Spike Lee’s “Miracle At St. Anna” comes out this weekend. We saw it at the Toronto Film Festival and enjoyed it, and it’s mix of seemingly disparate tones including semi-fanciful and magical ones. For a Spike Lee film, there’s a lot of hope in it, But we’ll acknowledge it’s possibly too sentimental and treacly at the end for some. It’s currently sitting at a not-very good, 43% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, (*this rating could change by Friday) but if you care, our full review here.

I’ve found each fall movie season has one film I just don’t seem to give a shit about. Early this year, I thought it was going to be Frost/Nixon, but the trailer for that actually made me more interested. Now I see its Miracle at St. Anna. For some reason, I can’t really find a reason to care. Oh well, at 26% on rottentomatoes, I hope I ain’t missing much.
