The internet has been going crazy over Steven Soderbergh’s new movie, “Magic Mike”, a movie about male stripping that stars Channing Tatum, and Matt McConaughey. I’m not seeing it in theater not because it’ll make me feel gay for going to see it. I’m not a big fan of Channing Tatum’s acting (I also think he’s overrated). Plus, Steven Soderbergh, hasn’t made a great movie since the film, “Traffic” in 2000, that was the last great movie he did. I did like the Oceans trilogy but they weren’t the best, just entertaining. I did like, “Haywire”, but it wasn’t the best, just entertaining.
It’s mostly women going crazy over, “Magic Mike”, which is expected, but I am noticing that straight guys have went out and saw it too. I believe the movie was made for both men and women. The movie is about learning how to party and learning how to pick up women, which is what a lot of men like, so guys can go see the movie for that. The women would go see it for the half naked muscle dudes. I wonder what made Soderbergh want to make a movie like this? I bet his wife begged him to do it.
“The Dark Knight: Rises” is finally coming out in a couple of weeks, so I’ll be going to see that one instead, of course.
