Rumor has it that Side Effects, the slinky, sexy new psychological thriller from busybody director Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, Haywire, Magic Mike) will be his final motion picture. If this is true, Side Effects is certainly a high note to bow out on. An edge-of-your-seat exercise that would please Alfred Hitchcock, Side Effects threatens to take aim at prescription drugs and the long lists of side effects that may come with [read...]

They used to call him “Blow Em Away” Ollie because he made movies that were explosive. As a screenwriter he gave us classics like Midnight Express, Conan The Barbarian and Scarface. As a filmmaker he took us to hell and back with films such as Salvador, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Natural Born Killers and U-Turn just to name a few. For the past decade or so it [read...]
