See it uncut
Pulp Fiction has been playing on cable, but with the expletives deleted. This is a fine example of dialog that sounds natural, yet is highly original. The dirty language is a big part of the movie so you are seeing only part of the movie if you dont hear the original dialog.

That brings me to the dvd. See the movie in its original form. Scenes that were once shocking may lose their impact upon repeated viewings, but then you realize that the shock value is not the movie's strong point. The weird wonderful characters and their conversations are the real stars. Tarentino also pulls the best out of actors, taking them to undiscovered places. As many forward thinking movies, this film was highly controversial when it was shown in Cannes. The violence is somewhat surreal and not at all like drivein films.

"Zed is dead..."
'Pulp Fiction' is and will always be remembered as one of the defining moments in cinema today. Upon it's release it opened eyes and paved the way for films to come that will continue to draw from this masterpiece of a film, never being able to capture what made this so brilliant in the first place. With his second film, follow up to 92's 'Reservoir Dogs', Quentin Tarantino solidified his Hollywood status as a brilliant director/writer. The story behind 'Pulp Fiction' is one we've never seen, and one that will never be seen again, at least not to the original brilliance here.

The film opens with a conversation between Pumpkin (Roth) and Honey Bunny (Plummer), lovers who are about to knock over a restaurant. This whole film is about conversations, conversations that may or may not pertain to the events about to occur but which add depth to the characters you're watching on the screen.

The next scene introduces us to hit men Vincent Vega (Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Jackson) as they are about to make a hit for mob-boss Marsellus Wallace (Rhames). The conversation that ensues is fluent, natural and not what you'd expect. It's called a brilliant script coupled with brilliant acting. Besides being ordered to make this hit, Vincent has also been asked to tend to Marsallus's wife Mia (Thurman) while he's out of town on business. After hearing that Marsellus is quite the jealous type (having just thrown a man from a five story building for allegedly rubbing Mia's feet) he's a bit edgy about tending to her needs while Marsellus is away.

Marsellus is also taking care of some business with boxer Butch Coolidge (Willis), a prizefighter whom Marsellus has just paid to take the fall. When Butch decides to renig, winning the match and attempting to split town with his girlfriend Fabieene (de Medeiros) Marsellus hires Vega to take him out.

These three stories get interwoven in not so chronological order giving us three great stories that make one really awesome movie. Uma is stunning and captivating, Travolta is o top of his game and Jackson is scene stealing in his best role ever. Willis and Rhames feed off each other perfectly and add a side story that is both hilarious in it's own seriousness. Great film most everyone can enjoy. There's a reason this film is considered legendary!

Classic cinema
This is an excellent edition of one of the most innovative films of our age.
