Tim Robbins
Tim Robbins, Phillip Noyce, Shawn Slovo, & Robyn Slovo—
Catch a Fire
—10/11/06
Tim Robbins, Phillip Noyce, and Shawn and Robyn Slovo: [Robbins:] 'That Afrikaaner policeman...was made out to be the bad guy when in fact the people that set the policy wound up in mansions with very large pensions.'
Nothing to Lose (1997)
Mystic River (2003)
Code 46 (2004)
Given the 'Big Brother' promise that 'the Sphynx knows best,' this fusion of our sci-fi noir future and Ancient Greek tragic past looks not unlike our uneasy present.
War of the Worlds (2005)
Has all the mechanized ingenuity of one of those dazzling Tripods, but the bigger they are....it's the gutless ending that renders
War of the Worlds
most insulting.
Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005)
Catch a Fire (2006)
Plays like a political
Heat
, but for the sake of the scrupulously researched social history, a bit of artificially induced pulse-pounding can be forgiven.
The Lucky Ones (2008)
The annoyance of its Screenwriting 101 script is hard to overcome, but
The Lucky Ones
just about works in spite of itself, as an actor’s showcase.
Bull Durham (1988)
Deserves its status among sports films, but its ongoing appeal reflects that it's something more: an old-fashioned romantic comedy that succeeds in establishing and deepening memorable characters through memorably flavorful dialogue.
Dead Man Walking (1995)
Has the distinction of including not one, but two of the greatest screen performances of all time...undeniably one of the most gut-churning emotional experiences of 1990s cinema...
Green Lantern (2011)
On brightest screen, in threest-D,
It's the latest franchisee.
This superhero's super-slight;
Beware two hours...
Green Lantern
bites!
Welcome to Me (2015)
Wiig plays her role with total commitment, fearlessness, and lack of vanity...the movie we deserve in the age of social media and cable television, a satiric child of Paddy Chayevsky's
Network
in its autopsy of "vox populi" viral video...
