Gary Winick (1961-2011)

This may not be the biggest news of the day, seeing as most are still in shock after the distressing events of last night's Oscar telecast. Still, it's worth noting that director Gary Winick has passed away. He wasn't a truly great director, and three of the films he's directed in his lifetime were Bride Wars, Letter to Juliet, and 13 Going on 30, but he does have one major positive feature on his resume. That is the live-action remake of Charlotte's Web, and any rendition of that story instantly brings me to tears. I wish there was more positive feedback to give, but this is just one of those directors who won't live on forever in our memory. If this clip doesn't scream out as anything special, we're in agreement.
