Reservoir Dogs (1992, R)
This is a cinematic masterpiece no matter which way you cut it. Quentin Tarantino's debut has everything a good movie should have; superb acting, amazing dialogue, and an intriguing story. The ultimate heist film where the actual crime is never even seen. How brilliant is that? And the dynamics between the different characters is some of the best out there. The way Blonde and White verbally spar makes you feel the tension as if you were really there, and the ambiguous interaction between White and Orange is just heartwrenching, especially if you know how it ends. I cannot say enough good things about this flick. It's most definitely one of the best films ever made, and never loses its appeal even if you've seen it a hundred or even a thousand times. |

Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson (1976, PG)
I'm starting to really like Robert Altman films. He has a certain way of making usually boring characters and/or topics really interesting. This flick was particularly charming, and was actually quite hilarious too. Paul Newman played a very believable past-his-prime Buffalo Bill with a kind of cynical, bitter intensity that was perfect for the character. It was also fun to see a very dorky Harvey Keitel who played the nephew of Bill; he's just so naive and gung-ho I found myself squeeing whenever he came on screen. It was slow at times, but the humour and just overall strangeness more than made up for it. Not for everyone, but still an interesting movie if nothing else. |

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006, PG-13)
I actually really enjoyed this movie, which is shocking because I loathe the first one and haven't even bothered to see the second one. But I have a sneaky suspicion this is the best out of all three. Not only did it make something I find utterly boring interesting (racing cars) but I think it portrayed another country fairly accurately for the American audience. If anything it's worth seeing just to behold the beauty and strangeness that is Japan. The music was also great; matched the flick perfectly and is really catchy without being annoying. I even bought the soundtrack, lol. But don't hold your breath if you expect some good acting; it's not atrocious, but it's most definitely not going to get any awards. So overall it's a fun ride with some extra flashy bits to keep your brain working at least a little; I highly enjoyed it, and will be buying it when it comes out on DVD, heh. |

True Romance (1993, R)
Is there such a thing as true romance? Well, there is for Clarence and Alabama in this AMAZING flick directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. I still don't know why I waited so long to see this again; it just blew me away with its great acting and as-is-QT's-fashion amazing dialogue. It runs smoothly, and is fast paced without detracting from the plot or characters. It really is a story of romance and has its cute moments, but some pretty vicious ones are there as well. I didn't particularly like the music though; kind of gave the movie a wrong feel at times, but other than that it's a masterpiece. |
