Red Hook Summer - Official Trailer (HD)

http://www.joblo.com - "Red Hook Summer" - Official Trailer

The latest in Spike Lee's Chronicles of Brooklyn anthology--which also includes "She's Gotta Have It" (1986), "Do The Right Thing" (1989), "Crooklyn" (1994), "Clockers" (1995), and "He Got Game" (1998)--RED HOOK SUMMER tells the story of Flik Royale (Jules Brown), a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke Peters), in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before, things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his grandfather's constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik's summer appears to be a total disaster--until he meets Chazz Morningstar (Toni Lysaith), a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better, than he'd ever imagined.

loved this film. i find it bizarre that spike is so under-appreciated. he's like the bjork of the movie industry. a true artist but a lot of people just don't get him, i guess. i feel so fortunate to be able to see his creations. the music was great, too.

this movie came off boring. it was dry as hell. I didn't finish watching because some of the stuff you mentioned weren't displayed when I watched it but will go back to see the outcome.

Regardless of what some may say Shelton "Spike" Lee is talented!!!

How does Inglewood or Carson in CA have anything to do with Redhook in NYC? Owe I get it - you wanted to sound cool calling someone a "daft cunt" on youtube. Haha - That's so corny.

I think Spike Lee was trying to expose an issue in the Black church. Pedophilia is an issue that is hidden and needs to be exposed. I agree, it seemed odd to make Enoch a pedophile but overall I'm glad the issue was brought up.

When I saw it , I was a little bit surprised the bishop enoch turned out to be a child molester , but with all Spike Lee movies........there is no happy ending. Just questions that waiting to be answered.
