Pulp Fiction [IMPORT]

Summary: This is what made the 90s famous.
Review: What can I say? A breahtaking film by a hungry director "Quentin Tarantino". Quentin first introduced us to his debut "Reservoir dogs", all about a foiled jewel robbery. Well, this film is quite similar, only in the form of the characters. The characters in "Pulp fiction" are amazing. From two hitmen, to a crime lord's wife, to a man who solves problems, to a robber, to the robber's girlfriend, to boxer's wife, to the crime lord, to a drug seller, to the drug seller's wife, to a war hero, to the boxer, to a gimp and to a briefcase. All these characters are involved in one of three stories. The film is split in to three stories, but they're all jumbled up. So, I'll tell you about them in the order you see them:

Story 1: Vincent Vega (John Travolta) has to take a crime lord's wife out for a meal, but while he does, she takes a sniff of cocaine, causing her to go into ecstacy. Vincent then haas to take her to get help, before the crime lord finds out about it. My 2nd favourite story. Includes the famous "dancing scene" with Uma and John on the stage.

Story 2: Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) is a boxer, who has to lose this fight to a guy, once he does that he'll be able to walk away with a pile of money. But Butch actually doesn't lose the fight, he wins it and steals the money. Now the chase is on. But it gets worse, when Butch accidentally leaves his father's watch in his motel room, he has to go back and get it. But he gets spotted by the gangsters, and the rest of the story gets mad. My least favourite story, but it's still good.

Story 3: When Vincent Vega accidentally blows this guy's head off in the backseat of a car. He and his partner Jules (Samuel L Jackson) have to try and figure out what to do before anyone finds out. They use the help of Winston Wolf (Harvey Keitel) to sort everything out. The best story, funny, amusing and has a great climax.

Film seem strange? Nah, it's highly enjoyable. So, if you're just a casual fan of films get this! You'll love it.

Review: Holy shmuck. As much as I hate cliches, if I had a dollar for every "All Americans are drooling, fast-food-scarfing, action-movie-watching morons" bigot currently infesting Amazon, I'd be able to buy McDonald's AND Miramax, and put them together to make a giant corporation that can pump out edible DVDs and hamburgers that play movies.

As for the movie, excellent. Go see it. Rent it first, though.

Review: Many people will say that I have lost my mind by giving this movie only one star. However, in my book that is one star too many. I just do not see the charm or the alure in this pompous movie that is filled with itself that it is ready to explode at any second. It is pseudo american art at its worst with stupid lines like what they call some hamburger in France; since Americans can't relate to anything other then fast food and other retarded subjects....American trash at its worst...

Summary: From the greatest film maker of our day...
Review: ...comes one of the greatest movies of are time. Part of a three part series from Quentin Tarantino (also featuring Reservoir Dogs, and the unmade Vega Brothers which would feature Vincent Vega played by John Travolta and Vic Vega played by Michael Madsen) this is my second favorite movie of all time. Many of you have read the review of this tangled movie, now I will untangle this movie for you.

In chronoligical order this movie actually starts with Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) running an errand for Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) picking up a suitcase of who-knows-what from a few punks who were "associates" with Mr. Wallace. On the way up Jules and Vince discuss Wallace's wife as Vince was asked to take care of her while Wallace is out of town on business. After a few minutes of excellent dialogue they finally enter the apartment of the punks. They shoot two of them and narrowly avoid being shot in what Jules calls a miracle that causes him to decide to get out of his current profession. Instead of killing the third punk they decide to bring him before Wallace.

Unfortunately on there way to meet Wallace Vince accidently shoots him in the face and their plan has to change as the car is now covered in blood and brains. So they swing by a friend's house (Quentin Tarantino) where they call Wallace to get some help so they can dispose of the body and clean out the car. In comes Winston Wolf (Harvey Keitel) who gets everything fixed before their buddy's wife gets home and divorces him.

From here they go to get some breakfast where they run into a couple (Tim Roth & Amanda Plummer) who are attempting to rob the bank. This is one of those few parts that I can't give away what happens as this scene opens and ends the film. From here Jules and Vince go to a bar to meet up with Wallace who is having a conference with a prize boxer named Butch (Bruce Willis) in an effort to pay him to throw a fight.

That night Vince has his "date" with Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) Marcellus's wife but before he goes he scores some coke from a friend of his named Lance (Eric Stoltz). The date is one of the big scenes of the movie it's here we get to see John Travolta's dance steps and Uma Thurman OD on coke, as well as appearances by Buddy Holly, Ed Sullivan, and Marilyn Monroe.

The final scene chronologically deals with Butch's choice to not throw the fight, and the consequences of that choice. This is a very spectacular movie that I think everyone should watch at least once.

Summary: Say what again! I dare you!!!
Review: Wonder boy Quentin Tarantino's second film, PULP FICTION, became the standard-bearer and trendsetter for cinema in the 1990s. The tangled story centers on and around two philosophizing hit-men (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson) and their dark adventures entertaining their boss' drug-addict wife, and killing off his failed business partners. One of these partners is a prize fighter (Bruce Willis), who actually wins a fight when he, well, wins a fight; one that he had promised to lose, and lives to bask in the anonymous glory.

However, unconventional as the story lines are, the plots are not the point of this picture. In fact, despite the off-the-beaten-path plots, the events depicted in this film leave one with a sense of emptiness and unfulfilled expectation. Nothing happens in the film that matters, perhaps, because so much does happen, that the viewer is desensitized to the moral ramifications of the acts that are depicted. What ultimately redeems this film and, in fact, raises it above the league of most commercial movies is that it is so well crafted and audacious in its approach that it stands as a uniquely fresh masterpiece in American cinema.

Among the film's strident innovations is the elegance of the dialogue given to otherwise despicable characters. But, vying for equal attention is the ubiquity of stylized violence and the glorification of low values (such as drug use) that seems to pervade this film. Additionally, Tarantino, the product of a leading film school (U.S.C.), is adept at staging visually-lush sequences. One of my favorite and most innovative shots, for instance, involves the Bruce Willis character's conversation with Jackson and Travolta's boss (Ving Rhames). For the entire scene, especially, the first, extended shot, the camera avoids the conventional head-shot of Rhames while Rhames is talking. Instead, the camera focuses on Willis, who remains silent for several minutes, minimally responding to Rhames' dialogue with understated facial expressions. In another unusually staged scene, John Travolta delivers a soliloquy in a bathroom about why he should not go to bed with the boss' wife.

Tarantino's movies are also distinguished by the quality of their sound tracks. Pulp Fiction is no exception, being a trendsetter in its use of ultra-hip, and sometimes, revivalist choices. Of course, this 'retro' philosophy is echoed in the casting choices that are made in his films, as we note that Pulp Fiction breathed new life into John Travolta's screen career, while tapping also new talents, such as those of Samuel L. Jackson. Finally, Tarantino's films are also distinctive in the way in which they develop a story line; they are seldom linear, stirring up disparate subplots, which are synthesized together by a meandering, often non-consecutive time line.

All of these elements in tandem - the clever dialogue, the rarefied violence, the retro soundtracks, and the unconventional story arches present us with a bold, new vision for movie making. Let there be no doubt; this movie is not for every palate. And, social critics have charged that its casual dispensation of gratuitous violence has led to a coarsening of our culture. But, putting aside those concerns, there can be no denying that Tarantino has taken film into previously uncharted waters.

PULP FICTION is the best effort so far that Tarantino has made to challenge and invigorate the cinematic arts in America. Every scene in this movie is powerful enough to stand on its own. In combination, however, they make for a very powerful film; one that overcomes the challenges that it, itself, raises. A must get DVD.

Summary: Pulp Fiction
Review: Pulp Fiction is the greatest movie ever make. Samuel Jackson got robbed in the acacemy awards. There will never be another role like Jules. This role propelled him to stardom. He stole the movie. Also it was Quinten Tarantimo's finest moment. It finished out the trinity of True Romance, Resorvior Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Tell me three other movies that someone wrote that can compare to those. If you have not see Pulp Fiction at least 3 times do not comment. Rent it now.
