Pulp Fiction - 8/10 - For some reason I didn't really care for the ending. Otherwise a great film, very well-constructed and shows that QT is, or at least once was, a great writer and a good if unspectacular director. The cast is uniformly excellent, the pacing is perfect and the story/narrative construction very clever and engaging (although bits like the gimp scene and Christopher Walken's cameo do seem superfluous). I was pleasantly surprised.

Give credit where credit is due. Roger Avary, QT's writing partner at the time, is responsible for much of what makes PF work. Huh, do you you think the fact the two men had a falling out has something to do with QT's subsequent QA (Quality Assurance) problems?
(although some think that Avary's Rules of Attraction--which I haven't seen--has merit).
It has merits. Far less than Jacky Brown, Reservoir Dogs and Death Proof. Slighltly less than Kill Bill 2. Probably as much than Kill Bill 1 (QT's worst work).
I disagree. vol. 1 is much better than vol. 2 and death proof (the latter, his worst work). That restaurant scene in vol. 1 is arguably the best thing he's ever done. It's a treat for fans of kung-fu cinema (don't mistake me for an expert though).
I never said it was the best fight scene I've seen
DJ: I can understand why... and some days, I could even agree on that... but then I watch Reservoir Dogs and remembers it is not true, as long as you consider he wrote it alone
