Too hot to handle, too cold to hold

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 1999)

When I first rented "Pulp Fiction" out of the local "Filmtown" video store, I didn't know what to think. I just thought that "three hours of talking, who cares"? But when I saw the movie second time...I was completely blown away. Bruce Willis, as bad as he wants to be, gives everything he got while playing the role of Butch. He is frustrated, angry, scared and out of is mind at the same time. Well, who wouldn't be if he had a mob like Ving Rhames tryin' to catch him... John Travolta and Samuel Jackson is the most perfect on-screen duo ever seen. Travolta, a gentleman hoodlum, tries to talk sense to Jackson, who experienced a religious awakening during a normal payback assignment. Uma Thurman plays her role like it's in her blood. She plays Mia Wallace, a drug addict and mob's wife. She kinda reminds me of Courtney Love... It is amazing, how Quentin Tarantino can make a conversation about European fast food restaurants sound interesting. Tarantino is genius, I tell you, genius. A three-hour film full of dialogue sounds boring, but this is anything but that. Damn, I shouldn't have written this. Now I want to watch it again...
