It's honest, that's it. It's honest.

Advantages: An excellent commedy drama packed full of incredible songs.

My Reasons For Purchasing The Commitments Film: This has to be one of the best Comedy-Dramas of 1991 in my opinion. The Commitments is a really great film and it is based on the novel written by Roddy Doyle. It was released on August the 14th 1991 in Ireland and in the UK. The Commitments runs for 118 minutes. It was directed by Alan Parker who also directed "Fame" and Pink Floyds "The Wall" This film was also produced by Lynda Myles and Roger ...
...of unexpected little pleasures along the way. Space lol The Commitments film is an infectious story about a group of unemployed young people from the north of Dublin in Ireland who start up a rhythm-and-blues band. It really has a very good storyline to it, with lots of great acting, funny scenes and has plenty of great songs performed throughout it also. I first watched this film as a teenager and I really was amazed by how similar some of ...

Pulp Fiction - A soft moist shapeless mass of matter.

Advantages: Great storyline,acting and Soundtrack. Fantastic Dialogue
Disadvantages: Not for you if easily offended by swearing and violence.

Pulp Fiction A soft moist shapeless mass of matter. Introduction This is arguably Tarrantino's best film to date. Universally recognised as a ground breaking film, and recieved huge critical acclaim at the Cannes film festival winning the Golden Palm Award. The dialogue in this film will blow you way, Tarrantino has for me written and delivered probably the best dialogue in a film ever. The acting by Travolta and Jackson sent their ...

Brilliant work of Pulverized fabrication

Advantages: great story, albeit a little mixed up, fine acting, full of thrills and spills

Director: Quentin Tarantino Producer: Lawrence Bender Writers: Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. Stars: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Therman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames and Christopher Walken Released in 1994 and a running time of 154 minutes. When I first about this movie many years ago I wasn’t surprised how confusing the plot sounded, especially after watching, and very ...
...I finally got round to watching this I knew I would have to concentrate somewhat to keep up with the story. It is one of them movie which is written in such a way that the beginning is the end, the end is the middle and the middle is somewhere near the beginning of the end. It is a mish mash of separate stories entwined into one great movie written by the very strange minded Tarantino, who seems to like to confuse the hell out of his audience. ...

Girls Like Me Don't Make Invitations Like This

Advantages: A fantastic Tarantino film, never a dull moment.
Disadvantages: Blink and you may just lose the plot.

Having long been a fan of Director Quentin Tarantino, it should come as no surprise that 'Pulp Fiction' is one of my favourite films of all time. 'Pulp Fiction' was the 1994 follow up to 'Reservoir Dogs', a film I first saw at a young age and fell in love with instantaneously. Much like the way in which the films of Tim Burton tend to have a magical feel about them, Tarantino has a similarly distinctive directorial style, one of which I myself am ...
...brought John Travolta success in the 90's and was just a general all round cracker of a film. I get excited about the films of few directors, however every time a new Tarantino film is released I am amongst the first to get down to the cinema and view it. 'Pulp Fiction' is a film which I can view time and time again without ever tiring of, one that I can never get enough of and always enjoy watching. If it weren't a Tarantino film then I feel that ...
