Before we get back to the countdown, now back in numerical order, I just wanted to give a quick shout out to the CW, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bleidel for knowing when to fold ‘em and walk away. Yesterday we got the news that Gilmore Girls will end its run this month. With Rory facing graduation and the start of her adult life, now is the perfect time to say goodbye to these two especially after the uneven quality of the last two years. Anyway on with the countdown…
8. Ratatouille (June 29th)
I know I’m opening myself up to the mocking I received for putting Cars on last year’s list but I just can’t pretend I’m not excited about another Pixar film especially when it comes from Brad Bird. As the creator of Iron Giant and The Incredibles, Bird has given us the best two animated films of the last twenty years and this time around he’s trying something a little different. Instead of human based film, Bird is trying his hand at the time honored tradition of animals as he tells the tail of a rat who lives in Paris desiring to be a gourmet chef. On paper this sounds much more kid oriented then his previous films, but I’m guessing this will be another Bird/Pixar production that speaks to adults just as much as children.
7. Sicko (July ????)
Every executive’s worst nightmare is back this summer as Michael Moore hits the street to expose the corrupt and broken health care system. I’m sure it will be preachy to the point that even supporters get annoyed with Moore but that’s what he does and in the end the humor and truth that he’ll put out there will more then make up for it.
