Blu-Ray Review: Spike Lee’s Amazing ‘Do the Right Thing’ a Must Own
Submitted by BrianTT on July 7, 2009 - 7:00amCHICAGO – I can still vividly remember seeing Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing”. For a teenager just becoming interested in the world of film, it was life-changing. And it still resonates as one of the best films of the ’80s and a searing commentary on the state of race relations in the big city. The 20th Anniversary Blu-Ray Edition of Lee’s amazing film is a must-own.
