Film Review: Awful ‘Playing for Keeps’ Wastes Talents of Notable Cast
Submitted by PatrickMcD on December 7, 2012 - 5:44pmCHICAGO – When will the movie universe stop lionizing the upper middle class and their “problems” as a standard for storytelling? The idiotic crawl of “Playing for Keeps” is a prime example of that style, a sad exercise in contradictions that pass for narrative.

Blu-ray Review: Criterion Release of Steven Soderbergh’s Incredible ‘Traffic’
Submitted by BrianTT on January 24, 2012 - 4:15pmCHICAGO – As his excellent “Haywire” plays in theaters and his even-better “Contagion” was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD, one is reminded of the incredible talent of Steven Soderbergh, one of the best living directors. But “Contagion” and “Haywire,” while enjoyable, don’t hold a candle to this incredible filmmaker’s best films, which include “Sex, Lies, and Videotape,” “Out of Sight,” “Che,” and, recently released on Criterion Blu-ray and DVD, the Oscar-winning “Traffic.” This is one of Criterion’s best releases for one of the ‘00’s best films.
