  • Cheat Sheet: Steven Soderbergh

    He brings out a new film every twelve to fourteen minutes, he has permanent standing orders to both Matt Damon and George Clooney, he’s about to direct a Liberace biopic before retiring to focus on his painting and he’s REALLY bald. Any guesses? It is of course Steven Soderbergh, and if you’re planning to see Contagion you’d better get involved with our Cheat Sheet…



  • The Adjustment Bureau

    This time it’s George Nolfi’s turn to adapt a Philip K. Dick story as Matt Damon is pursued by the ‘fate police’ through many, many doors.


  • The Bourne Legacy has no Bourne

    Last week we reported that Bourne writer Tony Gilroy had taken on the directing position for the fourth Bourne film; The Bourne Legacy. The question was, was Matt Damon going to get involved?

  • The Zero Theorem

    First published on Popcorn Addiction. Reclusive computer genius Qohen Leth (Christoph Waltz) is waiting for a phone call. He doesn’t know when the call will come or who the caller might be, but he expects it to relate somehow to the meaning of life. Unfortunately, Leth has to spend a considerable amount of time at…


  • The Monuments Men

    The Monuments Men ticks all the boxes for Oscar bait. George Clooney is the star, co-writer and director. Hugh Bonneville’s in it, so is the legendary Bill Murray, and also Cate Blanchett who excels at everything she does. Oscar winner Jean Dujardin is a welcome addition to any film. It pits American heroes against Hitler,…
