Todd McCarthy The most striking, urgent, up-to-the-minute film I’ve seen this week was directed by Spike Lee. It speaks to the moment, pulses with turbulent emotional and political currents, overflows with vibrant characters and bluntly confronts society’s painful unfinished business.

In announcing its latest Movie Club selection, the American Film Institute packed in a bit more news. The organization is partnering with Universal Pictures to offer free rentals of Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and will feature the filmmaker in conversation on Thursday.

Even though we’re just now coming off the release of Spike Lee’s most recent feature film, “Da 5 Bloods,” that doesn’t mean the filmmaker is taking the rest of the year off.

Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and BlacKkKlansman co-writer Kevin Willmott have teamed for a biopic onArthur Ashe, the civil rights activist and the only Black man to have won the men's singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open.

"My brother, the world has changed," Spike Lee started his conversation with Jimmy Fallon on Monday night's edition of The Tonight Show. Though the Da 5 Bloods filmmaker was referring in the moment to the fact that he and the late-night host were speaking over video chat rather than at The Tonight Show's 30 Rock studios, he could have just as easily been discussing the protests over racist police brutality and systemic racism that have swept the U.S.

American Chopper is on the channel that's hard to not call the Discovery Channel but is technically just called Discovery, and the kids' movie Artemis Fowl is skipping theaters and heading straight to Disney+. But there's stuff on Netflix too, of course, most notably the new Spike Lee joint Da 5 Bloods and Season 2 of dating reality series Dating Around.
