When I woke up this morning and heard on the news that producer/director Robert Wise had passed away, my first thought was "hmm, the guy who directed West Side Story died." It wasn't until I read the obit on CNN.com that I realized just how many really cool movies this guy was involved with. Folks are most familiar with Wise's other Oscar-winning film, The Sound of Music, but in addition to that dreck Wise also directed three classic piece's of sci-fi, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Andromeda Strain, and the first Star Trek flick (screw what everybody else thinks - I like it and it's my blog). And, to top it all off, he edited the brilliant Citizen Kane, which was no mean feat. Quite a talented guy.
