Masterpiece for the New Millenium, June 14, 2001

In a single sentence, Traffic is one of the most intelligent, intruiging, and invloving movies I have seen in a long time. The performances are excellent by both the new and established actors. Benicio Del Toro gives one of the most honest performances I have ever seen as a mexican police officer teetering between the corruption around him and his love for his country. Michael Douglas in amazingly human in his portrayal of the country's new drug czar, and Catherine Zeta Jones makes us sympathize with the wife of an imprisioned drug dealer.

Director Steven Soderbergh weaves a brilliant tapestry with the stories of these four characters. Traffic is more like four seperate movies that move together, as well as in and out of each other, yet you never lose track of what is happening in each story. The handheld-style filming brings you into the movie and it's almost as if you are standing there with the characters filming their actions.

The movie is neither depressing nor uplifting, and does not seem to want to convey any opinion the writer or director has about drugs. Instead it seems to simply present views the different characters have, pockets of hope in a sea of hoplesness that is the drug war today.

DVD notes: The production notes are interesting and the Behind-The-Scenes featurette gives a good picture of the filmakers. Overall extras: 3.5/5

  3. How many traffic citations does the Army allow without needing a waiver? It's been 14 years since I had a traffic citation.I understand that they are not giving out waivers at this time. Thanks in advance for your answers.

  4. I've done traffic exchanges, directory submitting, SEO, article writing, E-mail refering, premium link exchanging. So far link referal has helped the most. It grabs about 20 uniques a day if I spend 10 minutes on their site, but I'm out of idea's. Since google is updating their Pagerank soon I need to really get noticed quickly. This is a serious question, but is there anything else that I can do that will easily bring in organic traffic?

  5. I have tow traffic violations (maximum speed limits and driving w/out a license) that appear on my background check. They are preventing me from renting a place as they are seen as criminal. Is there anything I can do to get them removed?
