Summary: Buy This Movie!!!!!!!!!!!1
Review: Wow! That's all I can say about this movie. If you are a Tarantino fan, then you probably know that he loved the old 70's blackslpoitation movies (Foxy Brown, Detroit 9000). Well, Jackie Brown is Tarantino's blacksploitation style movie of the 90's. It's based on Elmore Leonard's book "Rum Punch". An all-star cast provides for a highly entertaining flick. The movie has a great plot entwined with numerous twists and turns, violent Tarantino style action, and a little wittiness and comedy thrown in for kicks. If you've seen this movie before, then I'm sure you'll probably want to buy it. If you haven't, then I can't highly recommend it enough.

Summary: Excellent Movie! No over exaggerated Hollywood hype.
Review: If you like movies that don't follow the same Hollywood streamline this is the movie for you. Without giving away the story...
It was very entertaining with unforeseen and unexpected twists. Lots of well known actors, but very unpredictable rolls. Definitely a very unique film!

Summary: Jackie Brown....this AIN'T no "Foxy Brown" BABY!!!!
Review: Let's face it, if you like Samuel L. Jackson at his "Pulp Fiction" best, you won't be sorry with this movie. However, he is just one piece of this very entertaining puzzle. Quentin Tarantino made this picture so that he could feature and focus on Pam Grier....and justly so. She is FANTASTIC. Little "Foxy Brown" is all grown up and is "all that AND MORE"! Adding DeNiro, Keaton (who's little acting "ticks", work perfect for his role), Forester (who received an Oscar Nomination for his superb supporting role), and Fonda (who's small amount of screentime is forgiven because she is absolutely HILARIOUS!) are just the icing. Even Chris Tucker's quick role is great. However, if the cast alone doesn't intrigue you enough, and you're still wondering "what the movie is about", its not crime drama or a mystery. I despise comparison's to other movies....but imagine, if you will, the premise of The Sting meets and the dialogue of Pulp Fiction.....a recipe for a smashing rum punch!!! Enjoy!

Summary: On my Top Ten List of 1997
Review: Quentin Taranturo has done pretty well for a boy from Tennessee. His cult status began in 1992 with "Reservoir Dogs." In 1994 "Pulp Fiction" was a monster hit critically and commercially. Crime is his forte. He also wrote the screenplays for "True Romance" and "Natural Born Killers". He was an uncredited writer on "Crimson Tide" and "The Rock". The combined cost of "Pulp Fiction" and "Jackie Brown" was [money]. Together, they did [money] at the boxoffice. "Pulp Fiction" brought in the vast majority of that income, which indicates that "Jackie Brown" displeased many fans. My personal opinion is that a lot of those people didn't get all the blood and guts they were expecting. I can't say which film is better. I do know that "Jackie Brown" is a more mature and sensitive work. It might be a nightmare for short attention spanners, as it's deceptively complex. The fact that Elsmore Leonard, who wrote the book the script is based on, was one of the film's producers may have had a positive effect on Taranturo. In any case, "Jackie Brown" is a splendid work. As the opening credits roll, we see Pam Grier, who plays Jackie Brown, in profile. While she is actually riding a 'people moving' walkway in Los Angeles International Airport, she looks like some Egyptian goddess majestically floating down the Nile. This image of her is in startling contrast to the tacky tile mosaics in the background. This simple opening technique cues us to the fact that this is not an ordinary motion picture. Ms. Grier plays Jackie Brown with a grace and a dignity which is rarely seen on the screen these days. Just like her character, Grier is a true survivor. From her first role in the trashy "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" to the dreadful years of so called 'blaxploitation films', she has held on. The result has been an ever increasing number of good roles. In her personal life, she has weathered cancer, as well as the death of a sister from the same disease and the suicide of her nephew. This is a woman who knows much about living. There is no grace or dignity to Samuel L. Jackson's performance as Ordell Robbi. There isn't supposed to be any, for he is the villain. He certainly gave me the creeps. Jackson has not suffered as much exploitation as his costar because he was fortunate enough to act in several movies directed by Spike Lee. While he plays the bad guy most of the time, anyone who saw "Eve's Bayou", which he both starred in and produced, knows he's a man of rare intelligence and insight. Sometimes I think he made that film in response to his playing both the hero and victim in the hideously misguided "A Time to Kill". Jackson also has a sense of humor. When a reporter asked him to describe his role in the upcoming fourth installment of "Star Wars," he replied, "He's black." Finally there is Robert Forster as Max Cherry. While nominated for an Oscar for this role, he has been stuck for years in mediocre movies and TV shows, he is finally getting choice roles. Ironically, though, he stars in two remakes of Alfred Hitchcock films that will be released two weeks apart this winter. Good luck, Robert! Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro and Michael Bowen are all excellent in supporting roles. Of interest is the fact that Fonda's and Keaton's characters are the exact opposites of Grier's and Jackson's respectively. So, what is "Jackie Brown" all about? Well, Jackson has a half million dollars he obtained through illegal means, and at least two - and maybe six - characters would like to have it. That's the plot. Just don't forget I said this movie is deceptively complex. I will give you one hint: Never take your eyes off Jackie Brown. No one composed a musical score for this picture. Instead, many Golden Oldies were used. In most cases, this technique has been used to sell soundtrack compact disks. While I am sure "Jackie Brown" sold a lot of CDs, the songs were specifically chosen to propel the plot along. This device works very well. If anyone would like to read the renowned Elsmore Leonard's book the film is based on, it's title is "Rum Punch".

Summary: PLUMB FRICTION!
Review: WOW! What a ride this one is! AND the twists keep on coming! Favourite moment? [At least three or four in here] The 'bag-mixup' [is it?] in the changing room! Just utterly fabulous. Starring? PAM GRIER - extremely underrated, very sexy, and still on top as the hapless 'pawn' in the great con game. She's this Airline Hostess pulled into the game of double-cross [or is it?] Superb dialogue - [SEE THE QUOTES]! Great soundtrack! And how can you go wrong with Samuel L. Jackson [quite deadly here], Robert De Niro [he IS funny, also quite deadly]; Bridget Fonda [holds up her own very well indeed!]; NOT forgetting Robert Forster as Pam's mentor and love-interest - major combo here! This movie hits you like a truck at full speed - prisoner's are not taken! A must for all those Tarantino fans! Give us a sequel!

Summary: The DVD Is Coming Out!!!!!
Review: ..I asked the woman manager if she could specialy order it for me. (I already knew it was'nt being produced on DVD in the United States). Before the manager could answer me some guy who worked there popped up and said they were re-releasing it in May. He said the were adding a ton of deleted footage and that the DVD was definitely being produced on DVD! (He also said it was going to be a 2-Disc Criterion Collection, whether thats true or not, only time will tell).

Summary: Great movie, but where's the DVD?????????
Review: When will "Jackie Brown" be released on DVD. Why is it I can get Pam Grier movies from 25 years ago (e.g. Coffy, Foxy Brown et al)on DVD, but her best film from only 5 years ago is still unavailable on DVD?
