	DVDFILE.COM: Mo' Better Blues review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		With Mo' Better Blues, Lee dropped the issues and decided to simply tell a story, one without much regard towards race or controversy.
		While the love triangle is the heart of Mo' Better Blues, there are several back stories that Lee interweaves through Bleek's life, including a boyhood friend, Giant (Spike Lee out of the dress), who is now falling short on his responsibilities as Bleek's manager.
		Mo' Better Blues is just the type that doesn't try to raise eyebrows.

	Travel \| Mo' better blues
		All the effort and expense that has gone in to presenting this caricature of a blues club - one of a chain - seems slightly superfluous when the real thing is available just a few miles to the south.
		With some of Chicago's best blues musicians performing here Tuesdays to Sundays and a history worthy of a soap opera, Rosa's is an instantly likeable club and one of the very few venues on the West Side where visitors can feel at ease.
		Richard Knight is the author of The Blues Highway: New Orleans to Chicago (£12.99), published by Trailblazer Publications, available in bookshops and from blues-highway.com.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Mo' Better Blues \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		But Lee's latest, "mo' better blues," is not at all controversial and, as far as the story is concerned, something of a traditional Hollywood-style film.
		With "mo' better blues," Lee has made a movie about the world of jazz, focusing on one talented artist who is obsessed with his music, but minus the dark cliches of depression and drug abuse that so often pervade movies on this subject.
		Spike Lee's "mo' better blues" is rated R for language, violence, sex and nudity.

	‘Mo’ Better Blues’ (R)
		If in "Do the Right Thing" Lee worked on a broad, social canvas, examining the effects of racism on the culture, in "Mo' Better" he has narrowed the focus to emphasize the personal, examining sex, love and the whole "man-woman thing." And from the look of things, this is not his main area of expertise.
		In one scene, Clarke shows up -- as she so often does -- during the time Bleek reserves for practice, then after luring him into the "mo' better" -- Lee says the phrase came from a friend in Washington and means making love -- bites his lip so hard it breaks the skin.
		There are exciting things in "Mo' Better": Bill Lee's orchestral score is lushly evocative (though at times more evocative of a classicist like Copland than of a jazz musician), and cinematographer Ernest Dickerson has given the picture a deep, vibrant, colorful look -- his palette avoids the smoky cliches of the typical jazz film.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Mo' Better Blues
		Spike Lee's "Mo' Better Blues" is about a jazzman, but it's not really about jazz -- it's about work, about being so wrapped up in your career that you don't have space for relationships and you can't see where you're headed.
		"Mo' Better Blues" is not a supremely confident film like "Do the Right Thing," which never took a wrong step.
		"Mo' Better Blues" is not a great film, but it's an interesting one, which is almost as rare.

	Mo' Better Blues - Movie Tome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Whereas Do the Right Thing dealt with the public issue of racial hatred, Mo' Better Blues revolves around the difficulty modern men have in finding the proper balance between work and love in their lives.
		Mo' Better Blues transcends the jazz film genre by its exploration of the limitations of investing one's entire being in work.
		When Bleek's face is injured when he is trying to save Giant from being beaten to death by two goons hired by a loan shark, he loses the magic that he once had on the trumpet.

		All told, this is a movie that is not only beautifully shot (a blue motif is evident throughout; camera angles, lenses and movement are all employed creatively) and scored, but wonderfully scripted as well.

	National Review: Mo' Better Blues. - movie reviews
		SPIKE LEE's intention with his new film, Mo' Better Blues, was to tell the life of a jazz musician accurately, not as seen in movies by white filmmakers.
		However that may be, the corrective is not Mo' Better Blues, which has no more character development, no more originality of plot, and rather less, or less good, music than the two films Lee keeps badmouthing.
		Mo' Better Blues ("mo' better," like "the nasty" or boning," is a jive synonym for the sex act) is the story of Bleek Gilliam, a brilliant trumpeter whose motto is "My music!

		Looking for Mo follows Ray, a frustrated writer who obsesses over his failure to climb El Capitan and who almost worships his insanely adventurous and innocent best friend, Mo. In fact, he admires him so much that he puts Mo's anecdotes into a book, which Mo finds almost unforgivable.
		And he does it without condescension or parody--amazingly, he writes a scene of middle-class kids tripping at a Dead show that is actually compelling (you have to read it to believe it).
		Mo's a conglomerate of a couple different people, but he embodies a particular spirit in a group of friendships that I had.

		The puzzle attracted the attention of famous names such as Sheele and Berzelius who, suspecting that the Tyndall effect was at play, tried to work out the exact composition of the particles giving rise to the effect.
		In the 1990s, Achim Mueller of the University of Bielefeld and his colleagues finally determined the structure of the molybdenum particles in blue water as containing enormous wheel-shaped clusters of molybdenum and have been pursuing these molecules and their chemical cousins ever since.

	DVD Review: Mo' Better Blues
		Maybe "Mo' Better Blues" isn't one of the most popular Spike Lee movies, but I always find it very enjoyable and entertaining.
		The film stars Denzel Washington as jazz talent Bleek Gilliam, who was kept from having fun with his friends as a child so he could study music.
		VIDEO: "Mo' Better Blues" looks very good with Universal's new DVD edition presenting the film at 1.78:1, and it is also anamorphic.

		At the center is a romantic triangle: Bleek Gilliam, the Brooklyn-born jazz trumpeter played by Denzel Washington, is juggling two women -- Indigo Downes, a dedicated schoolteacher played by Joie Lee (Spike's sister), and Clarke Bentancourt, an aspiring singer and sexual bombshell played by newcomer Cynda Williams.
		Bleek may have a new name for the sex act -- he calls it the "mo' better" -- but he's caught in a hackneyed art-versus-life struggle.
		Joie Lee and Williams work strenuously to find depth in their characters, who are written as madonna and whore respectively.

		Although this film is about jazz, we can definitely see where this type of story line might apply to the current state of hip hop.
		This is one of the most visually beautiful film with African-American actors I´ve ever seen (another that comes to mind is Devil in a Blue Dress, also starring Denzel Washington).
		A trumpeter thinks his life is complicated when he must choose between his two girlfriends, but things get worse when he is called upon to come to the aid of his manager and childhood friend.
