Last week, on Tuesday, director/producer Anthony Minghella passed away at the age of 54, after complications and hemorrhaging after a growth that had been removed from his neck. There wasn't a whole lot of fanfare that I can recall. Perhaps the news was too busy trying to figure out if Barack did or did not know what the hell his pastor was saying for 20 years. I assure you he did know, so why not just say it? But anyway, Minghella was a class act and all 6 of his movies were quite good. In fact I would say The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and Breaking and Entering were exceptional. The other three, Truly Madly Deeply, Mr. Wonderful and Cold Mountain only very good, lol. He was executive producer on Michael Clayton, The Interpreter and The Quiet American, all excellent as well. Anyway, he was great and will be greatly missed.
