QT movies are really going down hill

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2015)

QT use to do really good movies, but the last few I'm not sure what has happened. This movie I just don't know. I managed to watch it all the way through, however I wouldn't go out of my way recommending it like I would some of his earlier works. This piece almost seems like an inside joke type of movie. Like he was going out of his way to say the N word as many times as possible in the context that it is OK because it's in a Hollywood film or trying to make some sort of point about racial humor. Don't get me wrong I don't care either way, however when it starts to effect the quality of the movie it really ruins my wanting to keep watching movies by him. The movie is suppose to be about the story and not some point. The story here simply wasn't that good. This movie was really hard to like. Usually his movies through all the blood and gore usually have some humor to them and some philosophical points. This one no so much, maybe 2 lines in the whole thing that were funny. If anything a lot of it was done in a very distasteful way or very cliché way. The narration of the movie just kills part of the movie and the feel to the movie. It was so disjunctioned from the rest of the move it felt as odd as the narration voice. His use of flashbacks is also no where near what it use to be. He has been known for the way in which he tells the story and pieces it together in all different ways. But his use here just seems bland. I don't know, maybe he got bored and is simply doing these things only for the money now. Or maybe one too many drugs has rotted his mind. But one thing is for sure. He just doesn't write movies like he use to. The story simply isn't up to par for him, the writing wasn't up to par for him, and his ending is simply typical at this point. There were no real plot twists or turns. 5/10 even though i hate to give one of his movies that low of a rating. Support the new bev. save the 8mm films. But for god sakes go back to writing better movies.
