Fiction was never this good

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2003)

One of the first movie trailers I ever remember really liking. Thanks to that trailer and the pulse-pounding guitar riffs of the chosen song, I was immediately taken in. I first saw this film four years after it's initial release and it still stays with me every time. This movie isn't "Resevoir Dogs" but it's a classic nonetheless.
"Pulp Fiction" easily has ten things going for it (spoilers contained herein): (1) The dialogue is quotable and I still hear quotes from it. (2) The scene with the adrenaline shot is one that should never be duplicated. (3) Samuel L. Jackson rocked this movie. This was the best performance of his career. (4) Harvey Keitel was best supporting performer. He was the comic relief and he did very well at it. (5) Quentin Tarantino is a master writer and master director. (6) The interweaving and rather disturbing tales are told surprisingly well. (7) The film editing was unreal. I think Memento took some ideas from this movie. (8) The imagery dealing with God and spirituality made me wonder for a good long time. (9) Several rather unknown people show up and make for some memorable performances (Burr Steers and Phil LaMarr were in the first third). (10) The movie had a certain cheese factor that made it all the better. Ten reasons give a score of 10.
Cheesy and well-written are clearly two contradictory elements and that is especially true in the medium of film. Quentin Tarantino proved the world wrong with the release of this movie. It really rules! Here ends my rant!
