Summary: It Took a While, but the Wait was Worth it
Review: It's finally here to own on DVD. Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" is now available on DVD, and unlike many other DVDs, this one was released the right way. This meaning that chances are you will not have to rebuy this great film, because all of the bells and whistles are included.Tarantino has become so popular and so successful in so little time. He is a gifted director as well as one hell of a writer. Though the movie is based on Elmore Leonard's "Rum Punch," Tarantino wrote the script as his own. You know it must be good when even the orignal author was in awe of the movie! The movie, like "Pulp Fiction," has a pretty complex structure to it. It doesn't mean that it was hard to understand. It was very easy to follow. But, if someone were to ask me what exactly the movie was about, I might pause and be silent for several seconds, being unable to answer in a satifying manner. So, I will refrain from doing so. Just keep this in mind: If you liked "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction," chances are that you will enjoy this movie as well. This movie has one hell of a cast; including Samuel L. Jackson, Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, and Bridget Fonda. Jackson really steals the spotlight, once again being able to say Tarentino's dialogue so natural that it all flows beautifuly. Robert De Niro is also awesome, being very subtle and low-keyed. Pam is terrific, of course. But you know what, there is not one person that did not do his or her part justice. And now, for the DVD: Picture and sound is very top-notch. It is DTS, so you can play it in that if your system can play it. Unlike "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs," this movie is very colorful. The extras are there, and there are plenty of them; including trailers, an interview, a documentary, deleted scenes, Siskel & Ebert's review of the movie, and much, much more. One of my favorite features is the "Chicks with Guns" video, shown in its complete form. I was very pleased with the DVD, and I forgot how great this movie was. Although I still consider "Pulp Fiction" to be Tarantino's best film, "Jackie Brown" is a triumph and a breathtaking movie. Some may call it long, but if you are a fan of Tarantino, the time flies by like you wouldn't believe. You won't want the movie to end.

Summary: Jackie Brown Gets Down
Review: It's a shame to prominently feature such a negative and dismissive review of 'Jackie Brown' because it really is Quentin Tarrantino's finest hour. This film is not Quentin's take on Blaxploitation films, as so many movie critics seem to assume. This is a very soulful movie about survival in all of it's forms. Most of the characters in this movie are just trying to get by, to cling to what they have because it's all they know. This probably resonates a bit more for those of us who are a little more mature, or have ever felt trapped by the circumstances of our own lives. Bottom line though, this movie holds up because it is a well told, thoroughly engrossing, incredibly well acted story. Robert Deniro is hilarious, Sam Jackson is evil incarnate, and Robert Forster and Pam Grier are positively luminous. Don't let that review discourage you. This is a very worthy and entertaining film.

Summary: Quentin and co. at their best
Review: It upsets me that so many critics tend to belittle this excellent film. Being a fan of Quentin's work, I find this to be his finest moment. He strays from his hackneyed, recycled ideas of the past and delivers a movie intriguing to follow with actors who make the characters belivable. On top of superb acting, by both big names and cult icons, the character development makes what could be a boring and semi-predictable plot into a layered, emotional, and innovative look at how different people handle different situations (of course, in a more exaggerated state). I've been looking forward to this movie being released on DVD for years now, and on top of seeing the movie in a new light; the extras are also worth the price of admission. Do yourself a favor; pony up and buy the pic...you won't regret it.

Summary: Finally, Jackie Brown Comes to DVD!!
Review: I have been waiting for this film to come out onto DVD ever since I purchased my first dvd player. This film is a classic with an all-star cast that cannot be beat. Samuel L. Jackson, Bobby DeNiro, Robert Forester and Pam Grier offer dialogue that you just don't find in modern movies. Plus, Bridget Fonda is stunning. Makes all your blood rush down south. This film is a must have for movie buffs.

Summary: Quentin Tarantino Does It Again...
Review: For some reason yesterday, "Jackie Brown" was available at Wal-Mart. So, I bought it 'cause I was planning to get it when it comes out on tuesday. But it was already available like I said. And the movie is really good. Directed very well by Quentin Tarantino and stars Samuel L. Jackson (One of my favorite actors), Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, and Robert DeNiro. This, in my view, would be an all-star cast. The story is about six people who are after a half a million dollars in cash. The cash is stashed somewhere down in Mexico and Ordell Robbie (Sam Jackson) wants to get it from Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) 'cause she transfers his money from the airport she works at, to him. Two ATF men are asking Jackie Brown to tell them who she transfers the money to. If she doesn't confess, she goes to jail. So what does she do? Answer to the ATF and give up Ordell's loyalty, or does she spend time in prison? If you want to find out, SEE THE MOVIE.

Summary: "Lewis are you a sweating?"
Review: I loved this film, from Samual L Jackson's whacky pony tail to Bridget Fonda's sexy beach girl, de Niro is great as the "dont push me cause I'm close to the edge" Lewis and the black Femme Fatale - Jackie Brown.
Great soul soundtrack, pacy plot, immpeccably casted and scripted - why is it not 5 stars?
Well despite all of the above all we get is entertainment, which is fine but dont expect any philosophy or meaning here, it is just 100% good fun. Favourite scene: Lewis "getting angry" with Melanie in the car park - over reaction to the max!
This movie is long - 154mins - so you really get your money's worth here.

Summary: Finally! The 2-Disc, Loaded DVD Is Here/Plus Prequel News!
Review: After waiting two years to purchase this masterpiece on DVD. Not only are they doing Jackie Brown, but their making a 2-Disc DVD Set of Pulp Fiction. Also, They are making the 10 Year Limited Edition of Reservoir Dogs, (yet another 2-Disc DVD Set with a ton of extras), (which has four diffrent collectible covers "Mr. Pink", "Mr. Brown", "Mr. White" & "Mr. Orange"). Jackie Brown has three alternate endings, deleted scenes, a chat with Roger Ebert, T.V Spots, Theatrical Trailers, Director, Cast and Crew Commentary & More! The movie follows Ordell Robbie, (Samuel L Jackson; Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) just another illegal fire arms dealer living in West Los Angeles. But only one things on his mind; how does he get the half million dollars, stored lock boxes in Mexico, without getting caught? In comes Jackie Brown (Pam Grier; Undercover Brother), a sexy, seductive airline stewartess who delievers the money little by little into the country. Until she gets pinched by two local cops, as they try to pump the information out of her she is already making a deal with Ordell to get all of his money across the border, minus her little fee. To add to the mix, Ordell's former cell mate (Robert DeNiro; Raging Bull), his stoned out beach bunny (Bridget Fonda; Isnt Life Wonderful) and a slick, but lonely, bail bondsman (Robert Forster; Muholland Dr). Who are all are in it for their own reasons, now its a race to see who gets the money first! Excellent casting, especially Robert Forster who earned an Academy Award Nomination, (I thought Samuel L Jackson was going to get nominated at least, he deserved it). A Great Addition To Any Tarintino Fan's DVD Collection! I Heard The News of the Prequel To Pulp Fiction, But The Sequel To Reservoir Dogs and out comes "The Vega Brothers"! The story follows brothers Vincent (John Travolta; Domestic Disturbance) and "Mr. Orange" (Michael Madsen; Reservoir Dogs) who go on a violent rampage through the mean streets. Its possible for De Niro, Jackson, Roth, Buscemi, Brown, Keaton, Fonda and Walken to atleast have cameos. Also coming out from Tarintino is a World War II Drama, which will be an extremely disturbing look into the war. And another crime-drama about a bad-[rear], female criminal (Uma Thurman). Tons coming from Tarintino, which what do you expect him to do, hurry and mess up a project, or get yet another refreshing movie experience.

Summary: Finally on DVD...
Review: It's about time this movie was out on DVD, the wait has been a long one. For as much as I love PULP FICTION, and I do mean love, this movie is also top notch on Tarantino's directorial career. Great style, great characters, stupendous dialogue, and an ingenious setting depict everything this movie's about. Grier and Forster light up the screen with unbelievable realism and chemistry. Get this movie. If you dont, you dont know cinema.
