Bad Bad Movie


I'm going to tell you about a movie that was so boring and stupid, that I'm not even going to put up a picture of the movie poster. The Miracle at St. Anna had great promise because it had decent actors, a good sized budget and it dealt with some racism which could have given it an edge. It was also set in Italy during World War II which could have given it great cinematography. But, no. The movie is about four soldiers from the army's all-black 92nd Division. During a gun fight they find themselves behind enemy lines. They end up in a small Tuscan village called St. Anna di Stazzema where they try to figure out how to get past the enemy and back with the rest of their army division. The movie was confusing and disappointing. USA Today said, "It tries hard to be inspiring, but it has jarring tonal shifts, stereotyped characters and a lack of narrative perspective." In other words, Spike Lee, your movie sucked!
