I like Soderbergh. Traffic was well photographed and did a decent job in a remake of the BBC miniseries. Yes, some things were changed, and there's no accounting for cast, but the look of the movie was great.

The Limey is one of my favorite pictures. It is smartly shot, extremely well acted, and incredibly edited (by far the best editing I've ever seen).

I might be the only one on this board, let alone in America, who liked Solaris. I didn't think it was great, but I liked it well enough. I've seen Tarkovsky's version, and I found it to be too long without the content to back up that running time.

Kafka is underrated. It's well acted and the production design is worth the price of admission alone.

No comment on Brokovich because I cannot stand Julia.

Sex, Lies & Videotape I've seen so many times, I've lost count. 'Nuff said.

Ocean's 11 was fun. Just the kind of movie you turn your brain off for. Not everything has to be cerebral, you know.

For a Hollywood director, he has a lot of cred, being able to write, direct, edit, shoot and produce. Perhaps he doesn't rank up there with the all time greats, but who the hell does who's working in Hollywood these days?
