	On Death and Patriarchy in Crooklyn
		Crooklyn is most compelling when it represents images of fl subjectivity rarely seen in mainstream cinema, images that both counter racist stereotypes as well as facile notions of positive images of "the fl family." The property owning, artistic, progressive fl family portrayed in the film in no way represent the conventional fl bourgeoisie.
		Crooklyn constructs a redemptive narrative for fl life where the subjugation of the fl female body is celebrated as that rite of passage which is restorative, which ensures family survival.
		Death and dying are merely a sub-text in Crooklyn, a diversionary ploy that creates a passive emotional backdrop onto which Lee imposes a vision of fl family that is fundamentally conservative and in no way in opposition to the beliefs and values of white mainstream culture.

	'Crooklyn'
		Typically, "Crooklyn," a quasi-autobiographical drama (scripted with siblings Joie and Cinque Lee) about a family in Brooklyn, shows the filmmaker at his best and worst.
		But "Crooklyn" is the hallowed -- almost musical -- version of their life, as the Carmichael family weathers hard times, good times and, finally, tragedy.
		After a pleasurable round of these episodes, "Crooklyn" evolves into Troy's engaging, coming-of-age story, as she is sent away for a spell to her aunt (Frances Foster), a religious woman who insists on straightening Troy's hair with a hot iron.

		With CROOKLYN, Spike Lee revisits through the eyes of a young girl the Brooklyn of his youth, resulting in an innocent, touching comedy about one summer in the life of a large family.
		The script for CROOKLYN was jointly written by Joie Susannah Lee, Spike Lee and their brother Cinqué Lee.
		According to the Lees, CROOKLYN is really a composite of childhood experiences, not all of which are taken from their family.

	Review: Crooklyn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Instead of drifting back to the first half of this century, we're only going to 1973, a year when afros and bellbottoms were in fashion; when the Knicks won the basketball championship; and when there were enough pop tunes to fill a soundtrack.
		Told from the point-of-view of 10-year old Troy Carmichael (Zelda Harris), Crooklyn is the story of how one family struggles to survive and stay together.
		Crooklyn comes to the screen with an upbeat tone and a lot of heart.

		--Loesje Crooklyn "What is most appealing about young folks, after all, is the changes, not the still photograph of finished character but the movie, the soul in flux." (Thomas Pynchon) I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Crooklyn \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Three ethnic comedy-dramas have come to town on the same day, including two withsubplots about a segment of the African-American culture that is seldom portrayed in the movies — the upper middle-class.
		Oddly enough, both of those films Spike Lee's "Crooklyn" and Matty Rich's "The Inkwell" — are also set in the mid-1970s.
		He also co-wrote the screenplay with his brother (Cinque Lee) and sister (Joie Susannah Lee, who also has a supporting role), and there are autobiographical resonances throughout the story of a family with five children living in Brooklyn during the '70s.

	Spartacus: Why am I not surprised that Crooklyn DA Charles Hynes sat on evidence of corruption? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Interesting piece in today's NY Post by Frederic U. Dicker with more evidence of how thoroughly corrupt Brooklyn's pols are.
		While I know that the NY Sun, which has had the best coverage of the Crooklyn scandals, thinks that Hynes is honest.
		I suspect that honesty among pols in Brooklyn is a distinctly relative concept.

		A slice African-American urban life in early 1970s, CROOKLYN focuses on the good- humored Carmichael family whose center of gravity is their mother (Alfre Woodard), a hard-working schoolteacher.
		Around her are one dependable daughter (Zelda Harris) four obnoxious younger sons and a stubborn jazz musician husband (Delroy Lindo) who refuses to let go of his dreams.

	Crooklyn Baseball
		The bargain aspect becomes clear when you consider that Gagner earned $550,000 last year while chalking up one of the most unbelievable seasons for a closer - notching 52 saves in 56 chances.
		The comments seem a little hypocritical seeing the exorbitant salary structure of the Red Sox and from the fact that it wasn't long ago that the Red Sox themselves were trying to land ARod.
		Ironically Maddux left the Cubs in 1992 over a salary dispute and today returns a much needed veteran presence bolstering the Cubs starting rotation that already had Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, and Matt Clement.

		from Saint Paul, MN If you're wondering which Spike Lee film to watch first, if you're a little worried that you won't like his work, Crooklyn is a good one to start with.
		I certainly don't want to express disdain for his more polemic works, which represent some of the best work the cinema has to offer, but it might intimidate some people.
		Crooklyn, written by Lee, his sister, and his brother, seems to be a representation of their childhood in Brooklyn, mostly told from the sister's point of view, named Troy in this film.

		Episodic and told through the eyes of the family's lone daughter, Troy, played by the revelatory Zelda Harris, Crooklyn is rich with atmosphere and classic R&B tunes from the early '70s.
		"Crooklyn" is a nostalgic story of the ups and downs of an African-American family living in 1970's Brooklyn.
		They yell, scream, call each names, even get into physical fights.But it is very evident, that love is very strong among this large brood.Dad (well played by Delroy Lindo) is a musician who is trying to create some honest music thats important to him.
