Found in: Movies, NewsBehind the Candelabra (2013 Cannes review)
At first blush, the main draw of Behind the Candelabra would seem to be its camp appeal: a true-life love story between a humble aspiring veterinarian and Liberace, that icon of kitsch and knowing excess. And while that element exists in director Steven Soderbergh’s film, what resonates more strongly is the difficulty in falling in love with someone famous. That person may love you back sincerely, but fame always gets in the way. That’s not a particularly revelatory idea, but Soderbergh and his cast at least find a lively way to say it one more time.... read more

Found in: TV, NewsSide Effects
As Steven Soderbergh’s distinguished career winds down—just one Liberace biopic forthcoming for HBO—it becomes virtually impossible to not reflect on the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s staggeringly diverse, influential body of work. Just in time, he adds “psychological thriller” (or psychiatric?) to his filmography with Side Effects. Unsurprisingly, the substance of a movie genre is again enriched with his latest, masterfully spare and confident effort.... read more
Found in: Movies, ReviewsHaywire
In his follow-up to Contagion, auteur Steven Soderbergh makes over the espionage thriller and puts an ass-kicking woman in the lead. That Haywire features a female action star isn’t in itself particularly innovative (see: Salt, Wanted). That the female action star isn’t Angelina Jolie, and that Soderbergh built the film around a mixed martial arts fighter in her first theatrically released film—well, that’s something one doesn’t see every day. In addition to her EliteXC and Strikeforce bouts, Gina Carano has appeared in TV’s American Gladiators and direct-to-DVD actioner Blood and Bone, but here she headlines a cast that includes A-listers... read more

Never mind the scares from the current horror films like Fright Night or Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. If you really want to be terrified, the first 30 minutes of Contagion do the job just fine, with its realistically graphic depictions of citizens succumbing to a mysterious disease. read more

So it’s no surprise that McConaughey signed on to the Steven Soderbergh film _Magic Mike_, where he will be playing the ex-stripper Dallas, according to "Variety":http://www.showblitz.com/2011/08/mcconaughey-in-stripper-pic-but-will-the-shirt-come-off.html. read more
