Summary: Another Tarantino Hit!!!
Review: Although i have only seen pulp fiction once (i have not owned it long) I still love and talk about some of the funny lines. Pulp Fiction has multiple plots that intertwine within each other and still has the classic Tarantino Flashbacks. Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta are low rent hitmen, Bruce Willis is an upcoming prize fighter, Uma Therman is their bosses wife and Ving Rhames is their boss. Bruce willis is supposed to lose a boxing match but ends up killing the guy in the first round. His boss gets angry with him so he gets one of his men, John Travolta to kill Bruce Willis but things dont work out so well. Also, before that John Travolta gets an order from his boss to take out his wife, Uma Therman. After eating at Jack Rabbit Slim's, she gets into his heroine and has an overdose. Good jokes, good acting, and a good story make Pulp Fiction a sure fire hit.

Summary: Postmodern Crime Film
Review: I know it's hard to believe, but I hadn't seen this movie until a few weeks ago. I was definitely not caught up in the Tarantino craze (I was 13 when the movie first came out), but I was able to objectively analyze it without the hype. Here is what I thought:Pulp Fiction is a movie that I both thoroughly enjoyed and profoundly hated. On one hand, it is one entertaining yarn of a film. The dialogue is peppered with brutal humor and the actors are all fantastic and seem to be having a good time. Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, and Tim Roth are the three standouts here, in my mind. Jackson, especially, gets infused with a deluded righteous anger when he executes a man, and gets so far out there it is just exciting to watch. The interconnected vignettes are all interesting in their own right. All in all, this movie does much right on the technical side. But it also went wrong. Pulp Fiction is full of sound and fury, but it is a postmodern movie, which means that the point is that there is no point. Tarantino has cooked up a delicious sizzle rather than a meaty steak. The only interesting and even remotely admirable character is Jackson's, who actually decides to hang up his spurs at the end. Everyone else is a viper and a parasite, and Tarantino evidently expects us to feel sorry for them after they go through misfortunes. In spite of all the internet analysis of this film I couldn't help but get the feeling that Tarantino himself was putting a big joke over on all of us and that at the end of the film he was going to say "Gotcha". The fact that this film could be listed along with The Godfather, Part II and Citizen Kane as one of the greatest films ever made is one of the most disturbing evidences of media glorification of pop culture detritus I have ever seen. I unfortunately loved and hated the same film. I suppose it is possible, after all. It was a great popcorn film, but that it is considered a harbinger of culture is a very disturbing notion indeed. Besides, Jackie Brown had more depth anyway, and thankfully somewhat less self-indulgence on the part of the director. See it, definitely, and make up your own mind. -m-

Summary: Symptomatic of the age
Review: Quentin Tarantino: The most overrated director around. Nothing but a cheap, pandering nihilist. A friend of mine recently asserted that Pulp Fiction is the most important film of the '90s. Without commenting on the kind of plebeian tastes such an evaluation requires, his assertion is true only as far as Pulp Fiction serves as a diagnostic tool for the physician of culture: Its popularity says everything about the 90s and little about the actual merits - rather, demerits - of Pulp Fiction. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. Is it trash? Absolutely. The very fact that it is so entertaining makes this waste of celluloid all the more insidious. Someone might say, "But's it's only MEANT to entertain!!" Nonsense. Tarantino sees his childish, self-indulgent work as much more than mere entertainment. He considers himself an artist. How sad that such "art" is taken seriously today. In truth, Tarantino and his ilk are nothing more than snake-oil salesmen pandering to the poor tastes of the mob.

Summary: Best movie I have ever seen in my life!
Review: The fact that amazon only lets you give this movie 5 stars is a shame. This movie is, without a doubt, the best movie I have ever seen in my life. John Travolta and Samuel L are both hit men. It starts off with them attempting to do a job, and running into a lot of trouble. The chemistry between Jackson and Travolta is unbelievable. Then, we have Bruce Willis, an over the hill boxer being tempted to throw a fight. Inevitably, he ends up with a tough bookie out for his blood! Basically, the movie is a bunch of short stories, all of them related. A LOT of drug use, graphic violence, and sex. Really a guy kind of movie, but I can't see any woman not loving it either. I think when all is said and done, this will go down as one of the best movies ever made, if it's not already.

Summary: Travolta, Turman, Willis, Jackson couldn't be better
Review: This movie was awesome, directed by my favorite director Quentin Tarantino. This movie shows how 3 different people come together in a simple ordeal, leading to murder, getting raped,over-dosing, and a famous dance scene, put into this compelling film. The movie crosses with black comedy, and a rush of action, leading to you listening to every word coming from each person's mouth. The movie is about John Travolta and Samuell L. Jackson, working for a man who's wife is Uma Thurman. and Bruce willis as "Butch" a boxer, who gets paid to throw a boxing match by Uma's husband "marcellas". But instead of losing the match, Bruce Willis, ends up boxing his oponnent so bad, it kills, him, which leads, to Travolta and Jackson, searching for Bruce willis, in this most bizarre cat and mouse plot..

Summary: A Definite Classic! No Doubt About it!
Review: The great thing about DVD is that you may be able to program the order of the chapters, which is very useful for a Quentin Tarantino film. This is why people should own DVDs of Tarantino's films. Pulp Fiction DVD owners should try something new when watching this film. Try watching it in chronological order. Set your DVD player in Program mode, set and play the chapter in this order: 3, 4, 21, 22, 23, 24, 1, 25, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 2, and 26. If you play the chapters in this order, you will clearly see that Pulp Fiction is a Tales from the Crypt type of storytelling. You will see four tales of absurdity and you will clearly see that if John Travolta's character would have listened to Samuel Jackson, he would not have been killed by Bruce Willis. And also check my review of Reservoir Dogs for the chronological order of the chapters.

Summary: Now for something completly different
Review: When "Pulp Fiction" came out in 1994, no one had ever seen anything like it, nor have they since. The plot is beside the point, but here goes anyway. It is just about a group of small time L.A. mob and how they interact. That is the gist of it, as there's actually three different stories, and sometimes they over lap each other. This is the movie that restarted John Travolta's carrer, and he dose do a very good job as Vincent Vaga, a mob hitman who is constantly in trouble that he can't get out of. The real brakeout star is Samual L. Jackson as Jules Winfield, Vaga's philisophical partner in crime. Also Uma Thurman, Ving Rhams, and Bruce Willis all do very good at their roles. I said that there isn't much of a story, well, maybe I was wrong, there is a lot of story, three in fact, but that is beside the point. Quentin Tarantino is in love with the movie making process, and that is what this movie is all about, making a movie. But what a movie.

Summary: A waste of film
Review: I wish someone had warned me before viewing this film. It was a horrible story, full of profanity and other filth. The sad part is that so many of our young people have viewed this piece of trash, and think it is the greatest thing. I found the story line offensive, and I came away depressed. If you are looking for an old movie to view, please don't waste your time with this one. Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta are both accomplished actors; I cannot why they wanted to waste their talent on this project.
