Steve Buscemi
Steve Buscemi—
Interview
—06/20/07
Steve Buscemi: 'I have been asked to do Letterman. And the first time, I could not get past the pre-interview, you know, when the producers ask you for four stories...I could only come up with three.'
Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002)
Home on the Range (2004)
This bouncy Western musical-comedy adventure is long enough on charm, but wisely short and sweet at 76 minutes. It's also totally bereft of innovation...
Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)
The Island (2005)
Dimwitted, action-flailing mediocrity....Michael Bay...[said,] "I always say, '**** the critics'"...I'll tell you what I always say: "Michael Bay is a tool."
Monster House (2006)
Seems less a joyous return to innocence and more like the nightmares we have while contemplating the real-estate market.
Charlotte's Web (2006)
Competence and a core faithfulness are enough to communicate the simple charms of E.B. White's perennial children's novel.
Interview (2007)
Charms in large part due to the performances of the two stars.
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)
I sure hope Sandler's next movie is about learning the pain of Asian folks...that'd be hilarious!
Delirious (2007)
Lonesome Dove (TV) (1989)
Remains the gold standard for the TV miniseries format...stands among the best Western films ever made.
Fargo (1996)
The Coen Brothers have always loved to go far, a tactic they don't forgo in
Fargo
.
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
From its jazzy main titles to its gentle fadeout,
Monsters, Inc.
has something that money can't buy. It's likeable.
Saint John of Las Vegas (2010)
Conspicuously pointless...an underachieving comedy of awkwardness.
The Big Lebowski (1998)
It's the whole proud, embarrassing sociopolitical, cultural heap of American history—and the American Century in particular—in two fleet, funny hours.
Monsters University (2013)
May be the most thoughtful and, in social terms, realistic film ever made about the college experience.
Time Out of Mind (2015)
Though it’s hit and miss for audiences trying to forget Gere’s screen history, Moverman ably serves a slice of homeless life, dramatizing a problem we’ve contended with further back than we can remember.
The Boss Baby (2017)
Fairly one-note in its humor, and not as lively as you would assume it would be [but with] all-around strong voice work and a predictably sweet message about sharing the love...it’s all, as they say, good enough for government work.
The Death of Stalin (2017)
Tales of the venal, the selfish, and the desperate, lurking--when not preening--in the halls of power.
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018)
This is the kind of lackluster animated movie at which you’ll lose count of how many times the characters randomly break into dance--and that’s in addition to the...not one but two dance parties incorporated into the plot.
