Return To Form

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2003)

Actually, Pulp Fiction might be the "better film"(tm) but this wonderful bit of celluloid has a different agenda - pure cinematic adrenaline. I saw this on the afternoon of it's first day's exclusive presentation run at the Empire Theatre in London. I wasn't intending to rush out and see it so soon but, hell, it's the new Tarantino isn't it? A good move, as it goes because this movie *seriously* rocks and I have no hesitation in recommending it to any fans of the grindhouse genre it celebrates. Sure, it's plotless but so are most of the movies I love now come I think about it. This, like those movies (2001, Apocalypse Now, Jaws) is concerned with the *experience* of cinema. CGI-obsessed studios take note - this is the real deal. Bravo Quenten -Jackie Brown is just a fading memory. We're all kids again, so enjoy.
