DVD Reviews of Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: A Modern Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A good film usually expresses its story visually. It shows us the story. Not this one. Pulp Fiction is a rich circular story about around gangsters, criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. In this story, Tarantino boldly breaks the rules of screenwriting, delivering a film where the dialogue drives the story. Good dialogue seems organic and almost conversational, yet express a deep rich subtext. Take for instance, Vincent and Jules' conversation before they carry out a hit. They discuss drugs in Amsterdam and how their boss supposedly threw a guy out the window for giving his wife a foot massage. The dialogue seems random and unrelated to the plot--almost like everyday conversation. Yet this shows Tarantino's masterful writing skills, because he is able to pack so much weight in dialogue without seeming to do so. Vincent later later on takes out his boss' wife on a date on the boss' order, and she almost overdoses on heroin. Now, what is in the audience's is what would happen to him if he brings her back dead; if some guy got thrown out a window for massaging her foot, what worse will happen to him? Tarantino puts his characters in dire and serious situations, but he always finds dark humor in these circumstances. Do you think you would ever laugh at someone's brains getting blown out? The movie combines a very ironic mix of violence and humor throughout that takes you on a thrilling experience. The unconventional structure of the story adds another twist, with interrelated scenes that add more context to each other. It does not depend on action or special effects to catch the attention of its viewer. The ensemble cast, including John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, bring their characters to life. Pulp Fiction's creativity in juggling all these aspects creates a movie that is pure pleasure to watch and be dazzled by. It is for an audience that dares a movie to break all conventions, just as its characters defy all the rules.DVD Review: Decent

Summary: 5 Stars
So few movies do I absolutely love and this is one of them. Truly this is in my top 5 favorite films.
I have watched this movie countless of times and every time, I see something new that I missed on the previous viewing. So much is going on, yet one is not lost and that is a feat in itself which shows you how great this movie is... How great Tarantino is....
Anyway, if one is not put off by violence or cursing/foul language then this movie along with its dark humor will appeal to you....
Samuel Jackson and John Travolta along with the other actors were tops in this movie...
Yeah... Great Movie!!
Highly Recommend this movie, especially now that it is offered in this two disc collectors edition for those who have yet to see this film....
DVD Review: An exhilarating and inventive crime thriller.
Summary: 5 Stars
Writer/director Quentin Tarantino's sophomore effort Pulp Fiction earned him and Roger Avary the 1994 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for 6 other Oscars as well. Obviously, it is nothing short of a masterpiece. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this movie is its' structure, consisting of non-chronological chapters that at first seem very distant from each other, but ultimately combine to tell one story. I suspect, however, that the film's initial appeal to most people is the star-studded ensemble cast. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson star as a pair of low-rent hit men who take orders from their boss Ving Rhames. Uma Thurman is Rhames' sexy but drug-addicted wife. Bruce Willis is a boxer whom Rhames wants dead and Maria de Medeiros plays his wife. Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer play a couple as well, robbing banks and restaurants like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, and Harvey Keitel stars in one major scene as a crime-scene clean-up specialist. The film also features Christopher Walken in a brief flashback scene, as well as Eric Stoltz and Rosanna Arquette. Some of these cast members' characters appear more often than others, but they all contribute something significant to the plot, which involves sex and rape, drug use and murder, but also redemption and a certain amount of justice. Pulp Fiction is definitely not your average crime drama, and is in fact more of a crime thriller than a drama. It is very exciting and action-packed, and is often times downright funny. This movie is well worth buying because you might need to watch it twice to fully understand it and absorb its messages, or maybe you'll understand it right away but want to watch it more than once anyway. Another great reason to buy this DVD is because it's a 2-disc Collector's Edition loaded with special features, which are as follows:
- "Pulp Fiction: The Facts" documentary.
- Deleted scenes.
- "The Charlie Rose Show" interview with Quentin.
- "Siskel & Ebert At The Movies: The Tarantino Generation".
- Production design featurette.
- Behind-the-scenes montages.
- Interviews from the Independent Spirit Awards.
- Palme d'Or acceptance speech.
- Analytical reviews and articles.
- Theatrical trailers from around the world.
- TV spots.
- 8 different still galleries, featuring hundreds of photos.
- Soundtrack chapter stops.
- Enhanced playback track.*
- Synchronized trivia game.*
- Screenplay viewer.*
- Open mic commentary.*
*DVD-ROM features.
Clearly, this DVD has plenty of added value in the special features, but it would still be worth buying without them. However, Pulp Fiction is not for the faint of heart, as it is rated R for strong graphic violence and drug use, and for pervasive strong language (including the 'n' word). There is one scene in particular, involving sadistic rape, which some viewers may find disturbing. I would recommend this movie to adults who can handle objectionable and potentially offensive content and are not very squeamish. If you can get past all the violence and what-not, you might just discover a new movie to consider one of your favorites. I know I did.
Description of Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Critics and audiences worldwide hailed PULP FICTION as the star-studded picture that redefined cinema in the 20th Century! Writer/director Quentin Tarantino (Academy Award(R) Winner -- Best Original Screenplay, 1994) delivers an unforgettable cast of characters -- including a pair of low-rent hit men (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson), their boss's sexy wife (Uma Thurman), and a desperate prizefighter (Bruce Willis) -- in a wildly entertaining and exhilarating motion picture adventure that both thrills and amuses!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 reestablished 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 P.T. 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
