Pulp Fiction (DVD) ... Alexis Arquette ... / DVD released 20 August, 2002 at Miramax / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Collector's Edition, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, Widescreen, NTSC / With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or the vehicle that re-established John Travolta on the A-list, or the relatively low-budget ($8 million) independent showcase for an ultrahip mixture of established marquee names and rising stars from the indie scene (among them Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Julia Sweeney, Kathy Griffin and Phil Lamar). It was more, even, than an unprecedented $100-million-plus hit for indie distributor Miramax. Pulp Fiction was a sensation. No, it was not the Second Coming (I actually think Reservoir Dogs is a more substantial film; and PT Anderson outdid Tarantino in 1997 by making his directorial debut with two even more mature and accomplished pictures, Hard Eight and Boogie Nights). But Pulp Fiction packs so much energy and invention into telling its nonchronologically interwoven short stories (all about temptation, corruption, and redemption amongst modern criminals, large and small) it leaves viewers both exhilarated and exhausted--hearts racing and knuckles white from the ride. (Oh, and the infectious, surf-guitar-based soundtrack is tastier than a Royale with Cheese.) --Jim Emerson

 ... universally criminal characters in the film. The acting from the large cast is overall very impressive: Travolta and Jackson both excel themselves as enforcers for a crimelord. Moving rapidly from casual conversations about burgers, to threatening evangelical speeches to intimidate victims. It takes a special kind of actor to do that! Bruce Willis is suitably and appropriately wooden as a boxer who is paid to throw a fight, then makes off with the money instead. Uma Thurman is surprisingly diminutive in the role of a drug a...more

Premium Review Pulp Fiction (DVD): Girls Like Me Don't Make Invitations Like This to Just Anyon ... (857 words)

Having long been a fan of Director Quentin Tarantino, it should come as no surprise that 'Pulp Fiction' is one of my favourite films of all time. 'Pulp Fiction' was the 1994 follow up to 'Reservoir Dogs', a film I first saw at a young age and fell in love with instantaneously. Much like the way in which the films of Tim Burton tend to have a magical feel about them, Tarantino has a similarly distinctive directorial style, one of which I myself am hugely fond of. 'Pulp Fiction' brought John Travolta success in the 90's and was just a general all round cracker of a film. I get excited about the films of few directors, however every time a new Tarantino film ...  Read the complete review

How i got into it I first watched pulp fiction around a year ago. At the time i was a slight bit intoxicated after a drink and a smoke so i forgot all about it. When my Gran got me a copy i put it on the side and just forgot about it. Then around a month ago i decided to watch it. Since then I've watched it around 25 times and as it's a video the tape has worn thin and you can't see a thing. I've just ordered the 2 disc special edition last night. What sort of film is it? Pulp Fiction is described as a crime film but don't expect Poirot or Inspector Morse. This is not your average family film. It contains drugs, gangsters, guns, swearing, ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Pulp Fiction (DVD): Le Big Pulp Fiction (338 words)
by - written on 05/11/07 (Useful, 104 readings)
Rating:

This is a very violent film and also one of my all time favourites, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino the films takes a dark look at the under belly of LA criminal life following a number of disparate low life criminals. The time frame of the film constantly jumps back and forwards so the opening scene of a robbery in a diner also appears later in the film, at the outset the viewer is aware that violence will be a feature allied with strong language. The film has an impressive cast not least because for many it was a film that revitalised their waining careers, in particular John Travolta who plays a low level thug recently back from a trip ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Excellent Tarantino Movie Stands The Test Of Time (172 words)

Pulp Fiction is one of the best Tarantino movies out, the characters just bring the movie to life.Ive watched it over and over and never tire of seeing it. If people have never seen this movie they are missing out because its a must watch cult movie which will never age. Apart from the two main characters which John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson play there are excellent roles played by Bruce Willis, Vang Rames and Tim Roth to name a few. The scene where they do the torture with the Gimp is great too. This is one dvd that will always stay in my collection along with the other tarantino movies. To me you couldnt have anyone else but Samuel L ...  Read the complete review

PULP FICTION == Intro == For someone who claims to be a massive fan of films, I realized that I had still not seen some of the true classics, for example Reservoir Dogs, The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and Pulp Fiction. I was understandably alarmed, and decided to combat this immediately by starting with Pulp Fiction. It was Tarantino's second big film, the immensely popular Reservoir Dogs hitting our screens in 1992, with Pulp Fiction coming out in 1994. It was with these two brilliant bloody films that Tarantino would first be introduced to the film world, and despite producing some good films since, nothing can compare with the absolute gem ...  Read the complete review
