Solaris
Starring George Clooney St
Natasha McElhone
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Steven Soderbergh’s latest attempt at direct
ing movies might prove to be an even bigger
commercial Hop than Full Frontal. His latest
release, Solaris, leaves moviegoers wondering
if movies such as Ocean’s 11 and Out of Sight
were just a stroke of luck.
George Clooney and Natasha McElhone star
in this updated science-fiction film. Clooney
plays Chris Kelvin, a psychologist who is sum
moned by his friend on a space station orbiting
Solaris to help with some problems the crew
seems to be having. Upon his arrival to Solaris,
things take a turn for the worse. The plot also
seems to go from crawling to standing still.
With the special effects and science-fiction
edge the movie inherently has. it wouldn’t seem
difficult to throw in some explosions and a
rousing music score to make the movie into an
epic. Soderbergh, however, chooses to take a
different road by adding light, monotonous
music sparingly and relying on his actors to
create the drama and suspense.
Luckily the acting keeps the movie alive.

at a solid speed. Rather than take the au^
on a roller coaster ride, So/am ends

Jon Stewart to write,
produce NBC sitcom
NEW YORK (AP) - Jon Stewart
is going from
late night to
prime time.
The host of
"The Daily
Show" on
Comedy
Central has
signed a
development
deal with
NBC for a sitcom that will begin
in fall 2003.
Stewart will be the executive
producer and co-writer of the
series, which will star Stephen
Colbert, a writer and correspon-

dent on "The Daily Show."
"This is a coup for NBC to be
in partnership with such clever
and creative writer-performers
as Jon and Stephen," Jeff Zucker,
NBC entertainment president,
said Monday. "I can't wait to see
the finished product"
Stewart joked that the show
will incorporate everything
that's been successful for the
network in the past.
"We were just thinking about
what would happen if a gay
man and a straight woman lived
together in a bar in Boston and
ate spiders for $50,000 every
episode," the 40-year-old come
dian told Daily Variety. "Before
it's over, Stephen could end up
