Miracle at St. Anna
When: Sept. 26
Who: Derek Luke, Laz Alonso, Omar Benson, Michael Ealy; directed by Spike Lee
What: Four black American soldiers (Luke, Alonso, Benson, Ealy) become separated from their comrades in World War II Italy, where they must survive and help others do the same.
Brian Says: Lee went a bit overboard earlier this year with his unprovoked and ill-timed public feud with screen legend Clint Eastwood over Eastwood ’s failure to focus on black soldiers in his WWII movies Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. But there’s a good chance that, as is often the case with the outspoken director, Lee ’s passion will shine through in his movie and make us further appreciate the fire that he possesses--and ignites. This is a story that needed to be told.
