Pulp Fiction


Get ready to scream hearsay. Yesterday was the first time I saw Pulp Fiction. I know...shocking. But hey, anytime is the right time to see a cult classic isn't it? And might as well review it!

First off I will say I throughly enjoyed this movie. Pulp Fiction was great at the kind of movie style I like. Multiple story lines, nonlinear plot line, interconnectedness with one another, violence, and loads of pop culture references with witty banter. Add the fact that I am a big fan of Tarantino and of course this movie was a hit with me. I must say I don't know why I haven't seen this movie before... I think the length was one aspect but even then I am disappointed in myself. 

My only real problem with the movie is more of a personal issue and I don't even know why I'm bringing it up really as it worked well in the end. But the nonlinear plot line plus the nature of the different plots for a while really confused me as it just seemed to be a bunch of loosely related almost boring story lines. Of course things pick up quick and change back and forth which then diminishes this tiny complaint a little but I'll stick with it. A few parts were slow.

Nonetheless, this is a cult classic movie that totally deserves the attention.

9.5 out of 10

I absolutely love Pulp Fiction. It's in my top 3 movies, if not my #1. And I have that exact post hanging behind my TV in my room.

Once you watch the movie a couple times you'll learn to love it. Same thing with Reservoir Dogs, which was Tarantino's first film.

@AP0- Reservoir Dogs is my favorite Tarantino film. Although I would rate it lower than this one... Funny I know.

Story line seems good, but I remember seeing it on our movie rack as a youngster and not being allowed to watch it. Nice post.

Just yesterday, my m8 and me were arguing on the content of the briefcase and Marcel Wallace's band-aid on the back of his neck. He claims it's his soul that he poured thru the neck hole or what ever...Facepalm* Following!

Lots of frequently quoted lines from this movie.
I hope you've seen Inglourious Basterds - it had a lot of plotlines following several different characters. I thought it worked out well.

Watch-worthy indeed! Good thing to see you enjoyed it too.
