Magic Mike

Rating: R

Release Date: June 29, 2012

Trailer Score: 8/10

Thoughts by Tsr: I never have a definitive answer when it comes to my favorite director, but one name that always springs to mind is Steven Soderbergh. He can bounce between genres better than most, one of many things I love about him. A male stripper movie isn’t necessarily something I’d expect, even from Soderbergh, but nothing the director of Schizopolis does should ever be a complete surprise.

One thing that is a bit of a surprise is that it looks like a (relatively charming) romantic comedy.

In the film, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim play versions of themselves as failed Hollywood directors who take over a mall in hopes of repaying bloodthirsty movie executives.

Though one might expect them to be particularly animated during an interview, they were fairly laid back when I talked to them. Despite their soft-spoken nature, they did seem to take turns periodically amusing themselves during this interview, as you’ll read below.

Along with a college newspaper writer, I sat »

Everybody loves a good action film, right? But, what happens when a filmmaker more known for art house films takes a stab at a more mainstream Hollywood genre? Steven Soderbergh is, if nothing else, a highly curious, even enigmatic filmmaker. The same creative vision that came up with films such as Sex, Lies And Videotape (1989) and Schizopolis (1996) also created the Oceans Eleven through Thirteen films. In between were some great films that fall somewhere between art house and mainstream, like The Limey (1999), Che: Parts 1 & 2 (2008) and the recently disturbing Contagion (2011).

Soderbergh.s newest undertaking is called Haywire, an action-thriller written by Lem Dobbs, who also wrote The Limey and Dark City. The film follows a young female former marine named Mallory, played by Gina Carano. While working in Barcelona for a private firm, a rescue mission goes terribly wrong and Mallory finds herself on the run from both her employers and »
