We forget this now, but for a period in the mid-'90s, people really had high hopes for Matthew McConaughey -- or maybe it was just me. He was great in
Lone Star and
Dazed and Confused, but unfortunately he then lost his way with a series of dull romantic comedies. In the last few years, though, he's started to transition into more interesting roles, like his great performance as Dallas in
Magic Mike. For IFC Fix, I
wrote about how great it is to have him back.
