The Thirteenth Floor. Sci-fi "what's real and what's virtual" schlock. Entertaining enough, and beautifully filmed, but somewhat generic, and slow-moving in parts. Also, the protagonist (Craig Bierko) and his pouty girlfriend-type (Gretchen Mol) are horrendously boring. The side characters are much more interesting. D'Onofrio plays one of the main side characters - the virtual reality operator in the modern reality, and a dangerous bartender in the 1930's reality. Armin Mueller-Stahl is excellent as the father of the system.

Steal This Movie. Pretty good informative look at the life of 60's radical Abbie Hoffman. The character (played by D'Onofrio) becomes more interesting as the movie progresses; it starts out a bit too-much-informationy. Janeane Garofalo is great as Anita Hoffman. Sadly, I have been deprived of the last fifteen minutes through an evil conspiracy of vcr and dvd players.

Boy's Life II, "Nunzio's Second Cousin" (short). D'Onofrio plays a gay cop who terrorizes some would-be gay bashers, forcing one to have dinner with him and his wacky mom. Harsh, interesting, unpredictable, and very well-acted.

Happy Accidents. Extremely quirky romantic comedy with Morisa Tomei and D'Onofrio as the leads. D'Onofrio plays a sweethearted guy trying to win his girl's heart, but her doubts grow as he tries to convince her that he's a time-traveler from the future. I usually hate romantic comedies, but this one has a sci-fi bent to it that is worth checking out. Very well written and unpredictable.

Naked Tango. Sexy schlocky flick with Mathilda May playing a woman who tries to escape her boring marriage but ends up enslaved in a brothel. D'Onofrio is a dashing assassin who likes to tango. Beautifully filmed, moody, over-the-top melodramatic.

Imaginary Crimes. Coming-of-age flick with Fairuza Balk as the girl, Harvey Keitel as the con-artist father, and D'Onofrio as the nurturing English teacher. It was very well done but you gotta love period pieces (it's set in the 1950's) and coming-of-age stories. I'm not a huge fan of either.

Imposter. Sci Fi. Aliens are attacking, and the world is a mess. Gary Sinise runs around sweating and looking paranoid as he tries to escape the clutches of the guy in charge of security (D'Onofrio), who is convinced that Sinise's character is really just a vessel for an alien bomb. Tony Shalhoub has a small part. Fun and silly. You will enjoy it if you don't take it seriously (and don't fall asleep in the middle third, it gets better).

The Whole Wide World. D'Onofrio plays the writer who's responsible for the Conan the Barbarian stories. He's moody, socially inept, and too attached to his mother; his girlfriend-wannabee is demanding and sometimes whiny. Given this, you'd be surprised at how interesting they are together. Extremely well done; very easy to forget that it's a period piece. D'Onofrio received critical acclaim for his role.

Full Metal Jacket. D'Onofrio plays "Gomer Pyle", a disturbed loser Vietnam War recruit, and Matthew Modine plays a more successful recruit looking to get into war journalism. This is great for a Kubrick flick, and great for a Vietnam War flick. D'Onofrio is fantastic as the recruit who unravels under the pressure of marine boot camp. Modine is okay, but I found his "joker" schtick irritating after a while. R. Lee Ermey was fantastic as the almost-cruel drill sargeant. Check out D'Onofrio's "I can be as evil-looking as Jack Nicholson with the sheer power of my eyebrows" bit towards the middle.

The Player. Tim Robbins plays a slimy movie exec who mistakenly kills the wrong writer. Terrifically entertaining, funny, and dark. There are about ten million cameos, too. D'Onofrio was the writer.

The Spanish Judges. D'Onofrio is a dissatisfied small-time crook, Valeria Golino is his fed-up girlfriend, and Matthew Lillard is the con-artist who comes between them, offering to make them rich but ultimately playing them against each other. Pretty good plot, but I was sick of Matthew Lillard's ridiculously mannered face after the first ten minutes. D'Onofrio was over the top, too. "Mars girl" - strange idiot-girl character - was great.

Men in Black. You've all seen it, so I don't need to tell you about it. D'Onofrio plays the cockroach guy. Lots of gross makeup.

The Cell. D'Onofrio plays a creepy serial killer in a coma and Jennifer Lopez plays the child psychologist who's sent into the reality-space of his mind in order to find out where he's trapped his most recent (still living) victim. Visually stunning, over-the-top with the shock effects, and occasionally well-acted. Not for the easily disturbed. The director (Tarsem Singh) is better known for his music video direction, and that is obvious.
