    The fact that we almost got a Ben Solo movie starring AND developed by Adam Driver, directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s trilogy, Contagion, Traffic, Logan Lucky), and from writer Scott Z. Burns (Bourne Ultimatum, Rogue One, Side Effects)….. This movie needs to happen

    I watched Common Side Effects… I assumed it was a adult animation comedy but it’s a really gripping drama with genuinely stellar animation?? Movie shot moments direction.. Art direction is rly good, worth watching if you like animation.. Felt like prestige TV drama with fluid high budget animation.

    I just cannot get over this and I never will... a Steven Soderbergh STAR WARS movie written by Scott Z. Burns (THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, THE INFORMANT, CONTAGION, SIDE EFFECTS) with Adam Driver called THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO... and Bob Iger fuckin' passed on it. They need to do a live script reading...

    Do you enjoy ploddingly slow so-called thrillers with universally unsympathetic characters? Then may I recommend Side Effects, a stitched together clot of a movie whose twist telegraphs itself well in advance leaving the audience to snowshoe to the end. Also, worst edited major motion picture ever?

    Side Effects - Soderbergh does De Palma. A twisty, erotic thriller with four of the hottest actors either trying to kill or fuck one another. This was Soderbergh's final theatrical (non-HBO) film before 'retiring'. He was frustrated with all of filmmaking at the time but you can't tell watching this

    What is happening when we desire to watch or read something? I was watching Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects (2013) and with the first sighting of Channing Tatum, I had a sudden desire to watch Roofman (2025) in which he stars. Not in the sense that I wanted to turn off Side Effects and immediately put on Roofman but more that it suddenly felt I should make sure this is the next film I watch. From past experience I know this feeling is a reliable indicator that I will genuinely enjoy watching…

    "Side Effects" (2013 - Netflix) is an excellent film that exceeded expectations. Inspired by real cases, it delves into the complexities of anti-depressant medications. The twists and turns kept me engaged. If you enjoy psychological thrillers or thought-provoking dramas, don't miss "Side Effects." Starring Channing Tatum, Rooney Mara, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones. #Netflix #SideEffectsMovie #movies
