"Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Natural Born Killers "

Lemme be a critic!!

1. Pulp Fiction - The juxtaposition of time throughout this somewhat-quotable movie made for an interesting viewing. However, a bizarre homosexual scene and drug overdose served no other purpose than to shock the viewer and could've been left out entirely. Rating (out of 5 *s): ***


2. Kill Bill - Haven't seen it. Lots of violence and Uma Thurman so **.


3. Natural Born Killers - Movie served as a vehicle for Woody Harrelson to finally, violently shed his "Woody, the Cheers bartender" typecasting. Movie succeeded, as he's now "Woody, the potsmoking treehugger". Movie filmed with random nonsense and killing of innocents, with a thorougly-unbelievable prison escape.. Apparent purpose was to have the viewer, me, rooting for their ultimate demise, of which I was left disappointed. At least the "Geraldo Rivera" character was mercifully killed at the end of the movie, earning this movie 1/2 *


Anyone can be a movie critic.

Those films stood as indictments against our society and everything wrong with it...at least as far as liberals were concerned. To them, when religion is thrown into the mix, it becomes a different issue. Socialists/Communists cannot let religion get in the way of "progress". Hence we end up with nonsense like no prayer in school, no God in the Pledge, no Jesus in the movies.

Mao Tse Tung and his buddies had to have a Culture Revolution in China before their control was complete. To liberals, secularism is only the beginning...and as we all know, the liberal credo is, "The end justifies the means". In this case they find fault with Gibson's movie because it's "anti-Semitic" or "too violent". They use these excuses because saying it's too "Jesus" would be exceedingly blatant. But we know what they mean.

To the Jews complaining, what they'd really like to say is, "We didn't believe he was the Messiah then and we don't believe he's the Messiah now." But that would be politically incorrect. So they play the tried and true "anti-Semitic" card. But it's just a mask to hide what they really think.

And here's something else to consider in this matter. More than one of the movie critics railing against The Passion has charged that the movie will cause anti-semitic violence. Do these same critics blame Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver for causing John Hinckley to shoot Ronald Reagan? Do they blame Oliver Stone for the Natural Born Killers copycat killings? Do they blame the Jackass producers for the dozens of kids hurt while emulating the movies' stunts? I haven't seen any of them say so.
