Mimi Leder was (is?) the director of "ER" on NBC. Then Spielberg asked her to direct the first action flick for Dreamworks SKG, "The Peacemaker." It had Clooney (ER) and Nicole Kidman. I actually thought it was a pretty good movie. I had never watched ER.
Her next movie was "Deep Impact" and starred Robert Duvall, Tea Leoni, Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman, Leelee Sobieski, and Vanessa Redgrave. I personally like just about anything with Duvall or Freeman.
She just released "Pay it Forward" with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt, Haley Joel Osment, Angie Dickinson, James Caviezel, and Jay Mohr.
Spacey, Hunt, and Osment are three of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now. She sure does get to work with some big talent.
Let's get some discussion going. This is going to be pretty random.

- What do you think of Mimi's movies?
- Did you like "Deep Impact" more than "Armageddon"?
- Do you like Clooney? One of my favorite movies is "Out of Sight."
- I heard on the radio that they had a poll asking men with whom they would most like to go on a date. The favorite was Nicole Kidman. What do you think of her? Personally, I have mixed feelings. She's pretty good looking; but we're both married, so I wouldn't ever actually go on a date with her--unless maybe it was a double date, and that's not really the same now is it?
- Did you think Haley Joel Osment was good in "6th Sense"? I thought he was unbelievable - even more so when you consider his age.
- Do you like Helen Hunt in movies? I thought she was as good as it gets in at least one of her movies.
- What do you think of Kevin Spacey? I thought "The Negotiator" was an incredible movie.
- Do you think Bruce Willis is just as good in drama as he is in action movies? I'm sorry to say, but I really like to watch "Hudson Hawk" for some reason.
- What's your favorite Robert Duvall movie? I liked "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Godfather," "Apocolypse Now," "Falling Down," "Phenomenon," "Sling Blade," and "Deep Impact."
- Speakin of "Phenomenon"--what's your favorite Travolta movie? He has a new one out this weekend called "Lucky Numbers."
