Spike Lee favorite
If you enjoy Spike Lee movies and his jazzy background musical scores, then you'll enjoy Mo Better Blues. It allows you to enjoy the music as part of the movie and not only as a background soundtrack. The characters do a good job of portraying musicians and their eccentric lifestyles.

Ok Spike Lee Film
This movie is only Ok in my book. It has great production values, spirited performances and striking actors. The trouble is the story isn't one that I come to care about. The characters seem to be acting in their own space and rarely interact with each other. It's hard to know whether Denzel...

Toning It Down After The Great "Do The Right Thing"
With Lee's first three films, it is obvious that this man has a passion for music. With his fourth film, "Mo' Better Blues", Lee takes on this passion fully and it is a treat for us viewers and lovers of Jazz. Interestingly, this is a film about passion, that is the life of a passionate person....
