Reviews Featuring Steve Buscemi

Escape from LA
A fun action movie, but not a patch on the original.

Monsters, Inc.
This is a great fun film that will please adults as much as children and is just as entertaining on repeat viewings – in fact, it seems even better the second time around.

Fargo
An odd cross between a farcical comedy and a crime thriller, with some peculiar characters in an unusual setting. It shouldn’t work but it does, resulting in a fine film that defies expectations.

Spy Kids 3D: Game Over
The 'Spy Kids' films set new standards in children's cinema, and this one is no exception. Imaginative, pacy, and a whole lot of fun - and with some unpatronising values smuggled in.

The Wedding Singer
Some good, funny, light entertainment that’s not just for Sandler fans.

Pulp Fiction
Exhilarating, innovative, and eye-popping – this is one of those movies that everyone has to see.

Animal Factory
Professionally-made, but unremarkable.

Reservoir Dogs
The movie that laid the groundwork for the bigger and better Pulp Fiction – but it’s also none too shabby in its own right.

Big Fish
This is already looking like a strong contender for best film of 2004.

Double Whammy
Refreshingly innovative treatment of a pretty bog-standard story – it’s considerably better than its straight-to-DVD UK release would suggest.

Home on the Range
Disney’s once-great 2-D machine bows out with a whimper.

Coffee and Cigarettes
Eleven smart breaks from everyday reality.

Ghost World
Funny and intelligent in equal measure, this was one of the best, most under-stated movies of the year 2001.

New York Stories
Never mind “New York” stories – some “good” stories would be a nice start.

The Island
It’s loud, proud, and moves at a hundred miles an hour – and it’s also the most mindlessly enjoyable flick of 2005. Check your brain cells at the theatre door and enjoy a trip to ‘The Island’.
