Advantages: Splintered narrative, exciting director, good cast Disadvantages: Limited character development
smells a rat, but who, if anyone, is the snitch? With an inventive use of flashbacks, which intersect the real-time warehouse confrontation at the necessary moments, Tarantino deconstructs a complicated scenario with a coolness and assurance that defies his experience. Sure, it's rough around the edges, but that's also part of the film's allure.
There are three scenes in Reservoir Dogs that stand out, and highlight what a talented director Tarantino is.
Firstly, a casual, occasionally heated discussion on the value of tipping waitresses. This occurs in the first ten minutes of the film, and shows the kind of dialogue we can expect in the remainder (as well as in Tarantino's following movies). Having said that, this scene just wouldn't have worked without Steve Buscemi. He steals nearly every scene he appears in, just as he always does ...
Advantages: Quite good extras Disadvantages: All in one long episode
Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly
I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it!
The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main ...
Advantages: Good special features Disadvantages: The opening conversation could be deemed as boring but give it a chance!
that we will later see prowling the Los Angeles intersections. He also looks cool, calm and collected just as you would expect a stone cold killer to look. Cruise also looks as if he has no remorse just like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Just the meeting between the two men shows a clash of personalities, with Max being a decent good willed person and Vincent being the cold hearted person that cares for no-one.
Vincent is in town to kill five people and wants Max him to drive him to each one. Slowly cop Fanning (Mark Ruffalo) wises up to what is going on. Witnesses to the indictment of a major player are being bumped off. When the police, the Feds, mobsters and Vincent clash in a nightclub, Mann gives us one of his trademark action takedown sequences, matching the famous street gun battle in Heat. Collateral leaps into life with each ...

Review
"...INTERSECTION begins and ends interestingly..." (Sight and Sound, p.47, 01/07/1994)
"...It's more fun than the 1970 original that inspired it..." (USA Today, p.5D, 21/01/1994)
DVD Description
A remake of the French film LES CHOSES DE LA VIE, INTERSECTION places Vincent Eastman (Richard Gere), a successful architect, between his indifferent, beautiful, aristocratic wife, Sally (Sharon Stone), and his free-spirited lover, Olivia (Lolita Davidovich). Although it seems that Vincent has made a decision to leave Sally for Olivia, he remains emotionally torn, especially when he wonders how a divorce might affect his 12-year-old daughter, Meaghan (Jenny Morrison), with whom he is very close. If Vincent doesn't make a decision soon, he might find himself at a crossroads where he will be forced to make a choice and suffer the cataclysmic consequences. Using flashbacks and, in one climactic scene, beautifully eerie slow-motion camerawork, director Mark Rydell's INTERSECTION brings back the heartwrenching feeling and intricacies of old Hollywood melodramas.
