Steven Soderbergh Reviews, Interviews & More
Film fest fans, prepare to get an eyeful—the full lineup of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. And, as can be expected, it’s a rather prestigious list, made up of films by such hotshots as the Coen Brothers, Steven Soderbergh, Sofia Coppola, Roman Polanski, Alexander Payne, James Toback, and Nicholas Winding Refn. Check out the full list...
Side Effects is Steven Soderbergh's latest film and it packs a punch. It sways from one extreme to another within the course of minutes. It's something that could throw off or upset viewers. Despite the time given to settle into the environment, the twists and turns overcompensate for a missing element.
If it feels like the off season for cinema, you're not wrong. But that doesn't mean there aren't gems in the rough. This week we get the latest/possibly last movie from Steven Soderbergh, but then also Identity Thief. Which should win the weekend.
A little less than a year ago, Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh first worked together with Haywire. Since then Tatum starred in The Vow and 21 Jump Street, and then the two teamed up together again for Magic Mike, which was one of the surprise hits of the summer. Now...
Steven Soderbergh has talked about retirement, but that should come as no surprise. Since September of last year he's had three movies in the theaters and in February he'll have another, on top of which he's also working on his Liberace bio-pic. That's a lot of filmmaking, so the man probably does need to take a rest. His latest film is called Side Effects, and we...
2012 has definitely been Channing Tatum’s year—his romantic drama The Vow nearly scored $200 million in box office receipts; in March, he was the star (with Jonah Hill) of the surprisingly not bad 21 Jump Street film adaptation/reboot; then, this summer, there was a little Steven Soderbergh movie called Magic Mike. The story of a male stripper...
It’s still a bit of a touchy subject for some, but do you remember how you felt about Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace? How about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? The Godfather Part III? Well, you may not be surprised to know these and many more have been ranked in the Top 50 most disappointing movies...
Having made $75 Million already (with a $7 Million dollar budget), Magic Mike is one of the most profitable films of the year, and one of the sleeper hits of the summer. And you know what that means: Sequel talk. Star and narrative inspiration Channing Tatum says they're already working on it.
This week, Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh announced that they'd be producing Magic Mike: The Musical. So, it's actually happening! The crew over at Film created a mash video of Seth Rogen's distinguishable "hehe" laugh. And the people at The Oatmeal came up with a cartoon that could possibly revolutionize the movie theater experience. All that...
Seeing a woman as an erotic dancer in cinema isn't new. It's been going on for decades. Therefore, when a film like Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike comes along, it grabs your attention. Despite the extravagant amount of man-flesh slathered onscreen, Magic Mike has a surprising amount of darkness and heart tucked beneath its well-sculpted...
Two of Channing Tatum's former co-workers have accused him of stealing their stripper moves for his new movie Magic Mike, in which he plays, well, a stripper. Tatum may be a lot of things – actor, model, producer, former stripper – but according to him, he's no thief. In a recent interview he shot down the rumors, saying, "Those guys have been trying to make money...
This is a good week for some of the most interesting films of 2012 so far, and some of the best television going these days. There’s also one of Madonna’s big “Gimme an Oscar” movies, and some Criterion awesomeness. Check out this week’s best DVD and Blu-ray releases…
Steven Soderbergh continues his streak as one of modern cinema’s most unpredictable, genre-skipping directors (his last few films were a spy thriller, a medical disaster film, a documentary, a true-crime comedy, and an experimental character sketch of a prostitute, respectively) with Magic Mike, a dramedy about a male stripper who really just wants to design custom furniture even as...
The loss of Gary Ross as a director of The Hunger Games sequels has been absolutely devastating for devoted fans of burgeoning franchise. As a rabid fan myself (and as a friend of many other rabid fans), I can’t even begin to tell you how crestfallen we are. Ross was truly one of us – an ardent admirer of the series who happened to also don a director’s cap. His respect...
Contagion, the new disease thriller from Steven Soderbergh is a rare smart and entertaing disaster movie. So it's no surprise that it attracted performers like Matt Damon and Laurence Fishburne. We were at the junket, and they were obviously happy with the movie they made, but the material, it's easy to see how they got such a great cast. Check it out...
Fall is off to a great start with Steven Soderbergh's Contagion kicking off the September releases. With an all star cast - including Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet and Jude Law among others - the film follows a new disease from Day 2 on as it infects the population, and scientists and doctors attempt to control and...
When you craft a film about the next pandemic to rip across the world, you’ve got to do your research, and Scott Z. Burns was very invested in finding out the realities of Contagion. Working with Steven Soderbergh for his fourth time, the two weave a portrait of how disease changes peoples lives, from the victims (Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow) to the people dealing...
George Clooney might reunite with frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh on a new project called The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Does that title sound familiar to you because it should. The film will be based on the 1960s television show of the same name that originally starred Robert Vaughn. According to The Playlist, Clooney might be interested in taking on the lead in the...
Steven Soderbergh is currently gathering a group of acting "super friends" to star in his next feature film. No, we're not talking about Knockout, or even the big screen bio-pic Liberace, we're referring to Contagion. If the name doesn't ring a bell, it's because Soderbergh's known for quietly putting together...
A while back we brought you news about Steven Soderbergh's upcoming femme fatale flick, Knockout. The director cast professional fighter Gina Carano in the lead role, and with such a daring move you've got to have some serious backup, so he brought out the big boys for the supporting cast.
