680.0. "Crooklyn" by NETRIX::michaud (Cabin Boy) Mon Oct 24 1994 15:29

	This is a Spike Lee which gives us a look into a slice of life
	of growing up in Brooklyn in the 70's.

	It stars Alfre Woodard as a mother of five children, and
	Delroy Lindo the wanna-be musician husband.

	Alot of the activity in the film focuses on the only girl
	out of the give children.  There is no real plot, just a nice
	enjoyable look at a slice of life.

	Siskel & Ebert had also given it their thumbs up.

	BTW, the fullname of the film may actually be:

		Crooklyn
		A Spike Lee Joint!

	or at least that's how it's labelled everywhere on the box.  Does
	anyone know for sure?

	"A Spike Lee Joint" is also present on "Mo' Better Blues," so it might just be a hipping up of the usual director's credit. DFW

	Yep. It's somewhere on all of Spike's movies. It's his signature. Greg
