Reviews Featuring Giovanni Ribisi
Heaven
It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Basic
A disappointing military mystery that doesn't possess half the intelligence it clearly aspires to.
Cold Mountain
A classically crafted Civil War epic with actions and ideas aplenty - but not enough to fill its excessive length.
Lost in Translation
While it may not exactly change your life, 'Lost in Translation' is a smart, stylish portrait of a romance that never happens, with excellent performances and a message delivered in restrained whisper rather than Hollywood shout.
Saving Private Ryan
Stonewall proof that Steven Spielberg, while a marvellous film-maker, possesses not a single cynical bone in his body. Which is actually kinda nice, in a Forrest Gumpy sort of way.
Masked and Anonymous
Thank you for the music, Mr Dylan – you should definitely stick to what you know.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Great visuals… shame about the story.
Flight of the Phoenix
This stripped-down remake gets off the ground, but never soars.
The Virgin Suicides
A sign of better things to come as Sofia Coppola loses her directorial virginity with this sad, absorbing adaptation.
Public Enemies
An average gangster biography that just doesn’t leave enough for the heavyweights to play with.
Avatar
James Cameron uses the full capabilities of CGI to create a truly beautiful film that is sure to be one of the Noughties' most definitive movies.
