Tarantino Flicks.

This past week I took it upon myself to rewatch my collection of Tarantino flicks. Even though there are a couple of exceptions that can slip in there, I think I covered the core of what he's produced so far. After watching, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill (Volumes I and II) I came to a couple of conclusions. Violence is never pretty, vulgarity is occasionally hilarious, and a story does not need to be linear to keep you interested, or least to keep me interested. Here are a couple of moments from each movie that entertained me. Reservoir Dogs: Any scene with Steve Buscemi. Pulp Fiction: "It's like a wax museum with a pulse." Jackie Brown: The final scene and the song she's singing along too. Kill Bill: Kiddo's Line to Elle about her future. And of course you can't talk about Tarantino flicks without an honorable mention to Floyd in True Romance. "Get some beer and . . .cleaning products." Classic.

I still feel bad the the only Tarantino movies I've seen are Kill Bill 1 & 2. Or would that only count as one movie? I dunno. Either way, I really should watch more.

I won't presume to say "yes you need to watch more of his movies," but you're one of the few friends I have who might like them. *shrugs* I neglected to mention Deathproof though, but then that movie desrves a post all it's own.
