Trailer for Soderbergh's 'Contagion'

The trailer for Steven Soderbergh's upcoming thriller "Contagion" has debuted online, so check it out after the jump. It looks like an intriguing virus tale boasting a big cast, including Matt Damon, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard and Gwyneth Paltrow.

"Contagion," due in theaters Sept. 9, 2011, focuses on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak. Laurence Fishburne and Kate Winslet round out the cast.

Count me among those excited to see Soderbergh tackle this sort of material. Although the trailer does not entirely reveal the core of the plot, it sure promises a well shot thriller that will hopefullyl put a new spin on the those virus outbreak flicks.

M. Night Shyamalan prepping secret project?

With the release of "The Last Airbender" coming up July 1, 2010, M. Night Shyamalan is already trying to get his next project launched. It's another one of his secret projects, and a script is already done.

Shyamalan let studio executives read it, but only under the supervision of his assistants, according to Heat Vision. The project also has three names attached: Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, Bruce Willis.

Now that's what gets my attention. Nothing else is known about this film, but with such a cast, he sure will create some buzz around town. He needs to, because his more recent projects failed to impress.

Movie Review: "Iron Man 2"

Seen on: May 4, 2010

The players: Director: Jon Favreau, Writer: Justin Theroux, Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow

Facts of interest: Stay put at the end of the credits! A surprise awaits you!

The plot: Tony Stark is back in action, and this time, he has to battle Whiplash, who teams up with Justin Hammer to bring down Iron Man for good.

Our thoughts: Tony Stark is back in action in Jon Favreau’s anticipated sequel “Iron Man 2,” and while the lead hero is still in solid shape, the movie itself is showing some weaknesses. No, it’s not a big deal, really, but compared to its fantastic predecessor, “Iron Man 2” falls a bit short. That’s not to say the movie sucks, because truth be told, it’s still a very entertaining, explosive second installment.
