Steven Soderbergh, so often adventurous over the course of his career, closes out his theatrical run with the relatively conventional thriller Side Effects. Though the ideas within are familiar, a winding narrative path keeps predictability out of sight, and prevents Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns from ever falling back to one simplistic message. Soderbergh's own skill with…

As Steven Soderbergh hurtles toward retirement, he's dropping one last theatrical feature. (He also has the HBO movie Behind the Candelabra, but that's not hitting cinemas.) In Side Effects, Rooney Mara plays a woman dealing with her husband's (Channing Tatum) imminent release from prison. To help her cope with her anxiety, her psychiatrist (Jude Law)…

Bruce Willis has starred in many sequels over the course of his three-decade career, but in 2013 he really outdoes himself with three separate sequels and nothing else. The first of them, A Good Day to Die Hard, hits next month, followed by G.I. Joe: Retaliation in March. Bringing up the rear is Red 2,…

Director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns have spent the last couple years making genre films with prestige casts to explore modern anxieties in a unique manner. The Informant! tackled fears of impotence and mediocrity through the story of a guy who envisions himself as a powerful insder agent. Contagion charted paranoia about the ever-closer…

Steven Soderbergh's retirement may be imminent, but over the past couple of years he's been busy as ever. Where most directors might've opened one film between 2011 and 2012, he's released three: Contagion, Haywire, and Magic Mike. Now, for his final (at least for now) act, he has the thriller Side Effects due out early…

When a holiday movie schedule is as crowded as this year's promises to be, it's actually kind of a relief to see a trailer for a year-end release that looks like lighthearted, feel-good entertainment with no apparent aspirations of picking up a little gold man come February. The romantic dramedy Playing for Keeps (formerly Playing the…

"Nothin' But a Good Time" promises the tagline of Rock of Ages, referencing one of the two dozen or so classic '80s rock songs its cast energetically deflates into innocuously pleasing sing-a-longs. It's an admirably honest proclamation of the film's limited aspirations, one which it fulfills with all the grace of a monkey hurling its…

Stephen Frears' record may not be flawless, but his hit to miss ratio's high enough that I generally look forward to his movies. His newest project, Lay the Favorite, started out looking as promising as any other. The filmmaker collected a likable cast, including Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall, Joshua Jackson, and Catherine Zeta-Jones for the…

If you're curious what the upcoming season has in store for you on that front, hit the jump to check out new…

Let me say one thing first: this is the sort of role I think Tom Cruise does well. A variation on the arrogant, overbearing personality with a core of self-doubt has served him well in a few films here and there. So I hoped that playing big-time rock star Stacee Jaxx in Adam Shankman's '80s…

Steven Soderberg is prepping a movie called Side Effects, a film that he plans to shoot this spring and which will be one of his last two movies. The project ran into a snag recently when financier Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures started to pull away. Part of the problem with the deal was…

There are some changes going on with Steven Soderbergh's planned film Side Effects.

For me, the best part of the trailer for Adam Shankman's Rock of Ages is the prominent display of the Motorhead logo in the first few seconds. After that it's all downhill. The film adapts the stage 'jukebox musical' with Diego Boneta and Julianne Hough playing wide-eyed kids caught up in the mid-'80s LA rock…

Things are indeed shaping up quickly for David Dobkin's Arthur & Lancelot, which Warner Bros. fast-tracked over the summer at the cost of Bryan Singer's Excalibur remake and Guy Ritchie's King Arthur film.
