  His track record is far from perfect(Backdraft, The Paper) but he's by no means the worst.
  I thought Coccoon was good and Apollo 13 was very good. I haven't seen Beautiful Mind but several people whose opinions I respect loved it.

  I have to disagree. He's made some very fine films. Maybe he's not yet a George Stevens but his work keeps getting better. He's far from being the worst. IMHO

    Too bad the film is typical Hollywood crap.

    Full of warm fuzzies with the darker side of the man carefully excised and banished from reality.

    Cunningly crafted with a view to winning awards ?

    The Academy always has a soft spot for disease of the week type material...

    He's interminably boring. Howard's style, if one can call it that, is
    very linear, very conservative. He goes from A to B and that's it. He takes no chances. His subject matter is straight down the middle main-stream Main Street, all designed to make you feel good, fill you up with sentimentality and send you home with a smile. It's shrew, cynical Hollywood product. And he gets away with it...all the way to the bank.
