Toronto Screen Shots

Well, I’m back. I took a longer than expected break and caught up on some movies. Over the weekend, Brooke and I rented Erin Brockovich and Any Given Sunday. I loved the former, liked the latter. I definitely think Steven Soderbergh is one of the most talented directors working today, and brings his talent in equal measure to commercial and non-commercial projects. I predict an Oscar for Steven this year, since nominations for Erin Brockovich and Traffic seem likely. Has it ever happened that one person has been nominated for an Oscar twice in the same year in the same category? I think that’s incredible. As far as Any Given Sunday goes, I enjoyed it about as much as I have any other Oliver Stone film. I like pieces but always find his “epic” style annoying. I also saw Mission:Impossible 2 on my Dad’s new DVD player. Great player, mediocre movie.
