Giovanni Ribisi
Lost in Translation (2003)
Flight of the Phoenix (2004)
Flatly retells a high-concept
Boy's Life
adventure story that's hard to break, but easy to bleed of its significance.
Perfect Stranger (2007)
By the time the big finish rolls around, you'll be too jaded-too worn-down by the endless, pointless red herrings--to muster an interest in whodunnit.
The Dead Girl (2006)
There's an underlying, unifying power and credibility to Moncrieff's cumulative assertion that degradation is expected of too many women, and too often expected by themselves.
Middle Men (2010)
Gallo's self-consciously overstated direction feeds the impression that he's trying to remake
Goodfellas...
can we all agree by now that the use of 'Sympathy for the Devil' in crime pictures ought to be outlawed?
Ted (2012)
If you yearn to be treated like an eight-year-old, this R-rated kids movie for adults—the very opposite of Judd Apatow’s wave of 'time to grow up' comedies— is all yours.
Gangster Squad (2013)
The sheer bulk of talent involved (top-tier technicians and designers included) turns out to be a case of water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Within spitting distance of good...lesser than the sum of its parts due to deficits of ambition, invention and commitment.
Selma (2015)
Selma
