The 10 Most Redeeming Films of 2007

For a much better commentary on this article and these films, you should keep an eye on Phil's blog, for his thoughts. But I also like films, so I read the article, and found myself unfamiliar with half of them. I've seen "Amazing Grace" (wonderful!), heard about "Kite Runner" (Laura has read the book), and would like to see "Juno" (the inexpensive internet service? Uh, no.) But the one that most stood out to me, was the one we watched on our recent flight to see Hannah and her sisters (only one sister, Julia), and their parents. And that film was about a rat. A rat is in (no, he's the star!) one of the top 10 redeeming films of last year? Yes, he is. And he's quite a wonderful rat, with an extraordinary sense of smell, and a great cook! And he understands his calling and pursues his passion (which is a great thing for rats, as well as for people.) I know, this film came out last year, and I'm just now seeing it? Yes, I'm slow about some things. But I'll still probably have to buy a copy of "Ratatouille." It's the kind of film the grandkids will always like, and I'll find inspiring, especially since I love to cook.
