"Pulp Fiction"
The third movie I decided to watch is Pulp Fiction. It is written and directed by Academy Adward Winning actor, writer, and director Mr. Quentin Tarantino. Now this is my favorite movie that I watched so far I really enjoyed it.
This movie contains many actors and actress including Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Ving Rhames, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria De Medeiros, Eric Stoltz, and Rosanna Arquette.
I believe this is the only movie that I will say that all the actors in this film worked 100% amazing together. I completely bought every single one of the characters because everybody sold their roles in the own unique way. I would have to say though the two that worked together the best shockingly were Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta their chemistry and charisma towards one another really made this movie. Its a shocker because before this film I would never think to put John Travolta and Samuel Jackson as partners but they worked great together in selling their characters. I also personally think because individually they are both really good actors and are able to stay in character perfect on their own but together they were able to do it too. They sold the role of them being two tough hit men that work great with each other but not only are they tough they are pretty funny and sarcastic which adds a bit of comedy to the movie. This makes it more realistic because they get off topic alot and discuss weird stuff that is funny which makes it more believable because in real life no one has that tough guy look im mad and going to kill you attitude all the time. So they did a good job of doing both.
The plot to this film is kind of twisted and confusing in a way because of the fact that there is not just one plot or conflict in the movie there is several but they all have a way of connecting with each other at the end. I really don't like movies like this that jump around from story to story because sometimes it gets confusing and is difficult to follow and slowly looses the audience attention but this movie is exception because they did a good job with it. Basically its about these two hit men Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and they work for a guy name Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) and they are sent to retrieve a special brief case for Mr. Wallace and take out a few guys too. Then you have Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) who is a Professional Boxer who gets paid off by Wallace to throw a fight but he kind of disagrees with it but still takes the money. Then you have Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) newly wed to Marsellus, but while Marsellus is out of town for business he wants Vincent to take care of her and keep her company while he is away. Finally you have your not so average couple Ringo (Tim Roth) and Yolanda (Amanda Plummer) who at the begining of the film decide to rob at diner at gun point. But in the begining it leaves you with a cliff hanger but thats when all the pieces of the puzzle come into play.
I like how it was in a 60-70s theme and you can tell that off the back just by the settings, the lighting, camera effect choice, clothing, hair styles, etc. It really made you feel that you were in that era. Also my favorite quote and scene in the movie was the part when Jules and Vincent collect the brief case and Jules askes Bret (of the guys in the apartment) to desribe to him what Marsellus Wallace looks like. Now I can't really repeat the quote he said to him because of the profanity but I think that scene is Hillarious.
So after watching and reviewing this film Pulp Fiction I most definetely recommend it to anybody who enjoys a good story and likes to be entertain. But be warn this movie is probably the longest one I seen yet out of my reviews. I seem to have a habbit of always picking the longest movies to write about. So if you have time on your hands watch Pulp Fiction its a really good movie.

This movie sounds great! Mystery,action, and comedy in one movie-doesn't get better than this. I love reading your reviews,they are well put together. This movie sounds good especially since it has John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson-which are both amazing actors!
