...first (and still best) film sex, lies, and videotape. Considering his last three films have grossed a combined $433 million domestically, his track record has secured him a place atop Hollywood’s A-list; odd then, that apart from Julia Roberts and David Duchovny, Soderbergh has recruited a stable of B-list talent to star in his latest film (Catherine Keener, David Hyde Pierce and infamously unfamous Cultural Rhythms host Blair Underwood).

...about acquiring the French sensation Amelie at script stage for $1 million and watching it gross $31 million in the U.S.? Should Harvey really "admit defeat" after Miramax received 15 Academy Award nominations, the most of any studio?

He’s able to craft compelling, intimate vignettes, masterfully array them into a coherent whole and continually experiment with his camera work, but Soderbergh also keeps in step with the film’s cheeky “why not?” spirit. Why not rob an impenetrable casino fortress? Why not detonate a bomb in downtown Vegas to wipe out all electricity? Why not have Wayne Newton, Siegfried & Roy and world heavyweight boxing champion...
