Now and Then: 'Haywire,' 'Bourne' Trilogy Prove That Style Is Substance
Steven Soderbergh is a tough guy to peg. He made his name with a densely talkative indie about orgasms ("sex, lies, and videotape"), and in 22 films since has tackled everything from classy capers ("Out of Sight, the "Ocean's" trilogy) to the biopic of an iconic revolutionary ("Che").

Now and Then: In 'Contagion' and 'Children of Men,' Disaster Runs Cold and Hot
The opening minutes of "Contagion" are all surface, literally. A bowl of peanuts on the bartop, a swiped credit card, an elevator button, the human hand: each is a vector of death itself, a pandemic already in motion.
