Giovanni Ribisi

Danny DeVito, Kirsten Dunst

Paramount, 2000

Haunting
This is one of my top 5 movies. It's not a feel-good movie, but rather leaves you feeling melancholy and haunted. But I can't help wanting to watch it again and again. Sofia Coppola did an excellent job directing and Kirsten Dunst is great as Lux Lisbon. One of the ...

The Other Sister

Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton

Walt Disney Video, 1999

There's someone for everyone
The Other Sister is a coming of age story about Carla Tate, the daughter of a successful dentist, who wants to go to college, live in her own apartment and have a boyfriend. But Carla is mentally challenged, and her mom would prefer to keep her safe at home. This ...

Saving Private Ryan (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore

Dreamworks Video, 2004

A flawed gem
First off, everything you may have heard about the opening Normandy sequence is true: this is quite simply the most amazing battle re-creation footage you're ever likely to see. Definitely not for the squeamish, it paints its horrifying portrait without ever allowing ...

Cold Mountain (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

Jude Law, Nicole Kidman

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2004

common people overwhelmed by war
I loved the book and found the movie just as good, which is unusual. The Battle of the Crater [not in the book] is especially good--awful, really. Confederate armies on the verge of defeat are blown to Hell by an underground mine. Well-fed, well-trained Union ...

Boiler Room

Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel

New Line Home Video, 2000

A Glimpse Into the "Innocent" Moral Vacuum of Our Era
I really agree with the positive reviews. How can one make moral vacuity interesting? This film succeeds. The lead character is not a tough guy with a conscience like Marlon Brando in 'On The Waterfront.' Rather, he pursues his amoral path with an almost innocent ...

The Postman

Kevin Costner, Will Patton

Warner Home Video, 1998

Guaranteed to shed a tear!
The Postman brings to the screen the story of a drifter in a post-apocalyptic United States where the government has collapsed, bandits are roaming the land terrorizing survivors, and hope is at an all time low. It is a film about love, hope, and inner strength, but ...

That Thing You Do! - The Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Obba Babatunde, Bill Cobbs

20th Century Fox, 2007

That Thing You Do Director's Cut
Very disappointing that there's no commentary by Tom Hanks, but the film is excellent, with truly great songs.

Saving Private Ryan (Special Limited Edition)

Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore

Dreamworks Video, 1999

Lost in Translation

Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray

Universal Studios, 2004

more than 500 give it a one star?
This is in fact what encouraged me to write this review, and a pleasant reality that not all people experience the intense euphoria this masterpiece leads to. So I mention this movie to some of my friends, it's either a "best film ever" or a "most over hyped" ...

Gone in 60 Seconds

Nicolas Cage, Giovanni Ribisi

Touchstone / Disney, 2000

Very Satisfied
The DVD's I ordered have been great. And you cannot beat the price. Thanks.

Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow [Blu-ray]

Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law

Paramount Pictures, 2008

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT UNLIKE ANYTHING BEFORE IT!!!
MAGNIFICENTLY ORIGINAL! I've read many of the negative reviews of this film, and I'm astonished at some of the complaints people have come-up with. Well, don't listen to them. If you're looking for something very different from what you've ever seen before (with a ...

First Look Pictures, 2007

Beautifully written, deep plot, amazing cast!!!!
"The Dead Girl" is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. It combines elements from American Beauty and Pulp Fiction but manages to maintain a style all its own. The 5-6 subplots are intricately woven to surprise and touch the audience. My wife and I ...

Lost in Translation

The Gift

Cate Blanchett, Giovanni Ribisi

Paramount, 2001

Visions And Portents...
Small town psychic reader, Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy) finds herself caught up in the storm caused by the disappearance of a young woman (Katie Holmes), her impossibly nice fiancé (Greg Kinnear), a wife-beater and his victim (Keanu ...
