...starred in (playing two roles, of course). It might also be the name of the artistic fiefdom he has created. Few Hollywood directors have such a distinct signature--or, rather, two of them. One part of Soderbergh's brain makes can't-miss caper films and weepie dramas (Ocean's Eleven, Erin Brockovich) with the town's priciest talent.

...Richard Weller/Gary Marinko: Simplicity and elegance mark the memorial suggested by these Australian partners, landscape architect Weller and architect Marinko. It would consist of a 200-m-wide field of floating lights in the ocean, to be viewed from the headland or the beach. "Lighting up the ocean plays on something basic," says Weller. "I suppose it's an optimistic sign...
