I abhor violent flicks - refuse to watch them if I know in advance. The best movie ever made for my tastes was Forrest Gump. Now would someone please make another one like that? Thank you.

Benjamin Button was similar, although I thought it was much better than Gump.

Just watched Wolverine on blu-ray. For some reason they released their several weeks ahead of the US....not sure if I bought a fake but it seemed like a legitimate copy.
Decent film except for the blue screen edits...made it look totally fake.

Decent film except for the blue screen edits...made it look totally fake. I liked it as well. I am an X-Men fan so I had I few issues with some of the choices they made in the film (what they did with Deadpool, Emma Frost, etc.) but i was able to get over those for the most part and enjoy it. I plan on buying it when it comes out tomorrow. |

I know QT claims his movies are amoral -- that morality doesn't even enter into his thinking. I haven't seen IB yet, but that's a bit of a provocative statement to hear from him. I guess if morality consists of dividing the world into Us Good Folks and Those Bad Folks, then yes, his films are amoral. But I think for morality to be mature, it has to face the fact that purely good people and actions are impossible to come by. Personally, I found Pulp Fiction to be one of the most moral films of the 1990s. It presents choices, actions, and their consequences, without any attempt to sugar-coat or stereotype Good Guys and Bad Guys, or make Everything Come Out Right in the End So That Makes It All Okay. If you pay attention to the story line, and particularly if you recognize the parts of the story that are off-script but clearly implied by the dialogue and the special objects that tie the characters together (such as the briefcase and what's in it, the watch, what Jules is telling Marsellus in the background while the camera focuses on Butch at the bar, Jules and Vincent's debates which start off flippant and become more serious, culminating in Jules's sililoquoy in the closing scene), you realize that this entire film is about each character's choices about what kind of life they want to lead, and where those choices are taking them. |
