Silver, have you seen any of Sodenburgh's earlier stuff?

I heard Kafka and King of the Hill were quite good.

And I managed to catch a bit of The Underneath on television the other night, which seemed quite interesting.

I've heard that King of the Hill is possibly his best, but I admit I haven't seen it as yet.

King of the hill is my favorite out of the ones I've seen of his so far

The Underneath has some really creative photography lots deep focus shots intresting filters and lots of colors changes and use of color to create moods.

in order of the ones I seen so far of his.

1.)King of the Hill (1993)
2.)Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)
3.)Underneath (1995)
4.)Ocean's Eleven (2001) TIELimey, The (1999)
5.)Out of Sight (1998)
6.)Erin Brockovich (2000)

Why no Traffic, eh?
If you don't mind my asking...

I cannot tell a lie.
I despised Erin Brockovich. And it wasn't just because of Julia (although she had her fair share of HATRED). But yeah. It didn't do it for me. Albert Finney was the only point to the entire film. Thank God for him.

well it's pretty simple, I just don't get to as many new releases as everybody else. I'm more oriented to old films for the 80's and down. so it takes a while sometimes to get to all the newer stuff out there.

Plus New Releases cost to much money these days.

Erin Brockovich might be on the bottom of my list but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I consider it to be pretty darn good definatly a good C+ in my opinion.

I didn't say you didn't like Brockovich, in fact, I'm sure you do. It just isn't my exact cup'o'tea, s'all.
