It's nice to take a trip down memory lane, especially when Tarantino is involved. In 1994, both Quentin and Robert Avary brought us short fictional stories of crime, drama and thrilling moments by a most appealing cast, John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Christopher Walken, Bruce Willis, Rosanna Arquette, Phil LaMarr, Ving Rhames and many many others. Laced with the usual violence, heavy drug-use, obscene language and graphic sexual situations; this wildly provocative film won an Oscar that year and another 59 wins and 46 nominations.
With a run-time of 154 minutes, you would think that the audience would lose interest and fast, but this never happens in Tarantino films, because even though the destructiveness may get to you, the dialogue always saves because it is filled of wit, intensity and wisdom. The shots are always unusual, and viewers are vehemently reminded of the passion that went into making these movies.
Tarantino keeps the heart pumping and you on the edge of your seats, he knows what people want and if you're into action, you'll never be dissatisfied. In Los Angeles, there are people who make movies, and then there are people who tell stories so expertly that hit-men, boxers, bandits and gangsters all have lives that intertwine believably.
