“Pulp Fiction” - excellent; “Reservoir Dogs” - excellent, but a bit overboard on the gore; “Jackie Brown” - very, very good; “Kill Bill I” - crap; “Kill Bill 2” - crap squared; “Grindhouse” - waste of time.
I still find it hard to believe Tarentino did the “Kill Bills”. Listen to the dialog in “Pulp Fiction” or “Reservoir Dogs” and it grabs your attention even if you’re not looking at the pictures (which I do a lot with a flic on the tube while I’m working); try the same with the “Kill Bills” and the dialog is so wooden you’d think it was written by a high school student.
And I really liked Pitt in “Snatch” (it helps if you turn the closed captioning on, though).
Grindhouse was one the worst movies I’v seen. I understood what QT was trying to do but there’s a reason why it flopped big time. I felt sorry for Kurt Russell but the following flick after QT’s by Rodriguez was far worse.
