DVD Reviews of Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary) [Blu-ray]

DVD Review: Im not rating the film itself
Summary: 3 Stars

but instead the visual and audio quality. The picture has barely been improved at all from the previous DVD release and the the audio is no different from the last edition. There are no HD-Audio track and the picture is grainy in a bad way. It basically looks like a unconverted copy of the 10th anniversary edition

DVD Review: Resevoir Dogs Blu Ray Disc
Summary: 4 Stars

Ever since I purchased a PS3, I have been itching to start a blu ray collection. I previously owned Resevoir Dogs on DVD and this is a classic Tarantino flick that needs to be in every man's video collection. You have such great actors like Harvey Keitel, Steve Buscemi and Christopher Penn; and, the simple fact that it is much more difficult for blu ray movies to be damaged is a big plus.

Although this is a classic, there isn't much of a difference in your viewing experience even if you were to watch this film on a 40" flat screen LCD screen. There aren't any big explosions or fancy special effects like in Star Wars or The Fast and the Furious, but as I said before, this is a classic you simply have to pick up if you're starting a blu ray collection. This film is on the same level as Full Metal Jacket, Scarface or the Godfather.

Whether you get this movie on blu ray or dvd there isn't much of a visual difference. Simply get the film and add it to your video collection...you won't regret it.

DVD Review: Great movie, but doesn't utilize Blu-ray well
Summary: 3 Stars

I am not commenting the quality of the movie (which is great), but just the Blu-ray edition.

In a nutshell, the movie is very grainy and does not utilize HD well. However, I assume this is due to the quality of the original material.

So if you already own this as a DVD, there's really no reason buying it. If you don't (such as myself), then it might still be a good reason to add it to your Tarentino collection.

DVD Review: Greatest Movie of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is amazing. Classic. One of Tarantino's first and best! Steve Buscemi and Tim Roth give shockingly incredible performances, even by their standards. Definately one to buy!

DVD Review: Taratino Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is a true classic, and all you need to know if the line "Why do I have to be Mr. Pink" which has become used often (at least among many of the people I know and I have seen it in a commercial when visting a friend.)

This is the movie that put Taratino on the scene and we are introduced to elements and themes he will use later on in his story telling as he piecces the items together of what went wrong. Keitel, Buscemi and the others are just great.

If somehow you have seen Pulp Fiction and liked that, but missed this one, you should get this. You will not be dissappointed.

Description of Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary) [Blu-ray]

Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino s directorial debut RESERVOIR DOGS is a brutally funny supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision which was later to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired forcing the survivors who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse to figure out if one of them is in fact a police informer. The crew--Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) a bickering weasel; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn) Joe s son--begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.Tarantino takes liberally from Hong Kong action flicks most notably Ringo Lam s CITY ON FIRE but his ultra-hip 70s soundtrack and hysterical pop culture dialogue make the film seem wholly original and new. Taking a cue from the French New Wave--most notably Jean-Luc Godard--RESERVOIR DOGS remains one of the decade s most influential motion pictures.Format: BLU-RAY DISC Genre:?ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC:?012236191544 Manufacturer No:?19154
Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson
