Pulp Fiction [IMPORT]

Summary: great movie, but...
Review: I'm still trying to figure out why Quentin Terrintino thought it was okay to use the "n" word so often. Is he just such a cool white dude that he gets to be an honorary black? I keep expecting Sam Jackson to just punch his lights out.

Summary: Travolta's Revival and Jackson's Discovery
Review: Simply said - this is the best movie ever made. It's funny, entertaining, and challenging. It jump-started Travolta's career and kick-started Jackson's. It was wonderful.

Summary: Funny Rape?
Review: This was the first time I ever heard people in a theater laughing at a rape scene, including women. When these reviewers put the words "funny" and "rape" in the same sentence, don't they stop to think about what they're saying? Probably not.

This movie, along with others like "Natural Born Killers," started a tidal wave of freakshow films that present extreme violence and brutality in "hip, new" ways...and the trend continues to this day. We are the Jerry Springer generation. Now, is THAT funny?

Summary: Simply Brilliant! You Can Never See This Movie Enough!
Review: The first time I saw this film I was wondering how in the world could this be nominated for any Academy Award, but the film grows on you, and you really realize that this film is extremely humorous.

The action is superb, and the performance of Samuel L. Jackson is absolutely the best of his career. This DVD dont have ANY special features, but its still one of the greatest DVD's you could add to your DVD Collection, (with exception of THE GODFATHER COLLECTION and GLADIATOR [2000], which have superb special features, and are GREAT movies as well).

A film lead with a brilliant writer/director (Quentin Tarintino) and an ALLSTAR cast, with such names as John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Uma Thurman, Ving Rhames, Amanda Plummer, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Kathy Griffin, and Phil Lamar!

You really cant afford to miss this cinematic masterpiece! With a lot of action, humor, drama, and just plain out a great movie going experience! This film is an absolute thrill ride that dont stop till the credits roll!

Summary: Never get tired of watching it!
Review: I saw this movie when I was a little kid(Thanks God I did not understood anything)it is probably one of the most violent movies I'd ever seen.There's a lot of guns,drugs,crimes,bloody scenes,etc.I really don't take this movie as a way to see crude violence,it's art,a way to express your ideas toward this world.Fortunally,I'd never seen an edited version of it,the uncut version all the way 'cause I really don't mind watching all this strong scenes.I recommend everyone with a mind mature enough to understand what's really going on to watch it,it's just great!

Summary: Fady Ghaly's reviews
Review: The film that not only resurrected an aging genre but also put John Travolta back on the map and formally established Samuel L. Jackson as a superstar (who prior to his partaking in the film, was chiefly just another extra), Pulp Fiction, like Quentin Tarantino's earlier hit, Reservoir Dogs, featured some absorbing dialogue by Quentin Tarantino himself and Roger Avary that's frequently off the wall but funny, and stupendous performances by an all-star cast in this memorable melodrama that weaves together three interrelated stories regarding small-time hoods, drug-attics, boxing champions on the verge of death's door, and hazardous criminals that are the last thing you'd ever want to have to deal with, as Tarantino clearly shows in one of his stories which feature Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames as the key characters. The mode of the film is to imply such characters in sticky circumstances, and then let them evade into even stickier ones, which is how Willis's and Rhames's character wind up together as the captives of strange leather freaks in the basement of a gun shop. Or how, in the opening sequence, Tim Roth's and Amanda Plummer's character, a couple of stick-up artists, get in way over their heads. Much of the action in the film comes under the heading of crisis control.

If the circumstances are adept and original, then as is the dialogue. Nowadays, many films use flat, functional speech: The characters merely say enough to advance the story line. But the ones in Pulp Fiction are completely in love with words for their own sake.

With Tarantino's trademark profanity and casual violence, he shifts between humor and graphic violence that inspired a seemingly endless slew of imitators, none of which have, however, made a picture as powerful as this one, for it is bound to become a cult favorite!

Summary: DVD features are really disappointing...
Review: ...because there is NO feature on this excellent film. (Does anybody consider scene selection or closed caption as an extra feature?) You only get coolest looking DVD cover and a nice menu screen besides the movie, but that's all. Now that's a very sad thing that this DVD of a film like this with thousands of fans doesn't contain commentaries, making of features, trailers, music videos ect. Now for the film, i hope that my 3 star rating is not misunderstood because this is probably one of the most unique and the best films of the last 10 years, if not the best ever. You get a powerful acting, powerful directing, an extraordinary story and a storytelling, nice music score and an impressive cast. The nonchronological happening of events makes the film a little bit hard to keep up with, but maybe that's the coolest thing about the movie because when it is combined with the exceptional connection of the sub-stories; it makes the film different than the others. And let's not forget the interesting ideas and dialogues throughout the movie. The picture is just fine, and the sound is so cool. So this one would make like the best DVD ever, if it contained supplemental stuff. As it is for now, it stays behind Fight Club. That's because when you get a cool movie, you want a cool DVD too. However, i hear they are making a special edition of the film with extra stuff and deleted scenes, so you might reconsider about buying this one. Yeah, that's great news but i have to tell you, if the cover is any different than this version, i'm either not buying it or i'm gonna keep the disc (or discs maybe?) in the old case.

Summary: Subtle stuff...
Review: This movie represents one of those that you can watch a number of times without beginning to have a headache because you already know the story, that is rather rare. Either way, it's a very good representation of what so many people crave for, the liberation of their oppressed inner being (typical human being), holding complete and meticulous domination over themselves and whoever is in the proximities as well.
The humor content is very subtle and well thought out...you actually have to think about what puchlines are spread throughout the movie, such as Jules's wrath at having to pick up brain instead of Vinces, or the constant reminder of how good Jimmy's coffee is.
I think the movie has a few flaws, which cost it the 5th star...I found the part that portraits Bruce Willis in the cab and at the motel rather bland and lacking momentum...
Perhaps there are a few exaggerations throughout, such as trying to believe that the guy in the diner (Pumpkin, I guess is his name) actually was taught a lesson by what Jules had to say about the shepherd and stuff..I'm pretty sure that if I had a gun at point-blank range from my cranium my sole concern would be the movements of Jules's second finger..but that's just me...

Summary: Audacious, wildly imaginative entertainment
Review: Saw this film in the theater when it first came out, and liked it but didn't immediately fall in love with it. It was on repeated viewings that I came to realize how truly clever this film is - it warps your sense of time and continuity as several stories overlap, and even on the 20th viewing you may forget what happens next. Tarantino's dialogue is smart, funny, and absolutely memorable. Hands-down, the best film of the 1990's, if only for the impact and influence its style had on most every young director trying to make it in Hollywood.
