Simpler than this - a mediocre director with no spark of true talent

I haven't see his Solaris, but given his pale track record, what more should we expect? A sudden revelation?

Soderbergh has covered a lot of ground - gware 22:02:19 07/30/03 (0)
there's considerable diversity between the Limey and Sex Lies and Videotape, he's not just stuck in a rut like some directors
I thought Terrence Stamp and Luis Guzman were great in the Limey, I haven't seen Stamp in such a good role since Stephen Frears film The Hit
I've suffered through Brokovitch Traffic and Oceans 11, in the balance the good has outweighed the bad

WHAT! You mean to tell us that didn't like the brilliant Erin Brockovich? - Audiophilander 12:51:59 07/30/03 (1)
Oh, that's right, you don't like movies with strong independent female characters! ;^)

  I, for one, could never get past the fact that the story presented was heavily editorialized (sort of like a Michael Moore "documentary"). Plus, everyone in it was ho-hum. Including the worst performance I've ever seen from Albert Finney (although still better than anyone else in the picture).
  HOWEVER, with all of this in mind, there was one scene in which Julia's character was losing it, and I actually saw more acting ability displayed there than in any of her other movies.
