Advantages: Cool + perfectly done movie, Great performances, Best adap of Elmore Leonard's work yet

Disadvantages: Bored De Niro (extras)

Having just written a review for Pulp Fiction: Collector's Edition I decided it would be best to follow that up with Tarantino's follow-up, Jackie Brown.

Arguably the best adaptation of Elmore Leonard's work to hit the big screen, "Jackie Brown" was also the film that proved Tarantino could do more than just guns and heists. He could do guns, heists and relationships. Eight years on, it's lost none of its easygoing hipness and it still, to quote Samuel L. Jackson, just "too cool for school".

This two-disc Collector's Edition doesn't scrimp on extras. Quentin acts as master of ceremonies, taking us through the documentary "Jackie Brown: How It Went Down", deleted and alternate scenes, Siskel and Ebert's television review, MTV interviews, more trailers than a white-trash caravan site, TV spots, radio spots, the infamous "Chicks With Guns" video and much more. The quality of the material is occasionally dubious (De Niro's so unenthusiastic he looks like he's re-auditioning for "Awakenings") but the discs are worth their price tag for the extended interview with the director alone. His conversation's so manic you'd swear he'd just swallowed an espresso machine.
