Pulp Fiction


Let's face it, it's a 90's movie. And 90's always helps. Another thing that supports it is the stars. You've got Samuel l Jackson. (A Legend) You've got Bruce Willis (also very kick-ass) Uma Thurman (who is thought to be sexy by a few guys I know) and another big name, John Trivolta ( sadly becoming an old-on the verge of beer belly-fallen star. And rofl lets not forget the scientology factor involved) Some of the monologues and one liners in this movie have been treasured and reenacted over and over..and over. 

And did I mention the man who directed it..no no.. the legend who directed it 

Tarantino.

Things to note.
Samuel L Jackson is king in this movie. And don't forget to look out for the Pulp Fiction theme song. It came out dead in the middle 1995 and was originally rated R. But I'm pretty sure the board of censorship has taken it back to MA seeing as times have changed and it wasn't really that bad in the first place. Unless your considerably pussy and wimp out at the site of blood.

I guess it's been labelled a modern classic but trust me, once you see it over 2 to 10 times you get bored with it.

I'm gonna' call it 90's arthouse meets unnecessary violence.
8 out of 10 for the first 2 times I saw it. 6 out of 10 for the other 8

Snatch




disclaimer: this is my first post so if it sucks please tell me.

Snatch well i personally loved it. Starring Brad Pitt as the pikey and Jason Statham as the main guy it's really a british violent movie about a diamond. And the many characters who's lives are affected by it. 

The way Guy Ritchie has used the camera to make fast-paced dolly shots and close-ups is awesome. A lot of up-themselves adult critics said it's a step-back for Ritchie because his previous movie was just like this but I haven't seen it so it doesn't apply to me.  

Things to note.
Brad Pitt did a awesome job. He pulled off the english/irish pikey accent really well and as always managed to look sexy through the process. There are some awesome lines from Statham as well and if you pay attention to the music you'll find it is very kick-ass. 
It came out in 2000 and It's rated MA but who seriously obeys rating restrictions these days? So if your under age i say screw that, watch it anyway. 

According to my sources it got pretty good critical acclaim and certainly they can't be bummed out about the profit they made.

I'm labelling it as a british medium violence black comedy worth seeing if your into that style of action and humour meshed together. And if you don't laugh at brad Pitt's take on the pikey accent I will kick you. 

You can find it at most DVD rentals and drop by sites like tudou or youku if you want to watch it online.

I'm giving it an over all 7 out of 10. But you have to be into this style of black comedy if you want to enjoy it, just warning you.

Check this link out, if you find the scenes in this 6 minute clip funny then this is definitely the movie for you.
