newspaper review
Sin City, based on three of Frank Miller's seven graphic novels of the same name, is as faithful an interpretation as you're likely to ever see.
User comments
In short, Sin City delivers a blistering ballet of bullets and blood, dames and danger at every turn. It's a kinetic masterpiece of pop culture for the new millennium (and a case could be made that this was the movie that CGI was invented for).

Title
Pulp Fiction
Director
Quentin Tarantino
Date Released
21 October 1994
Country made
UK
newspaper review
As the title suggests, the film is about the world of gangsters and gamblers that populated the cheap paperback fiction of the thirties, forties and fifties, updated to a somewhat nebulous modern time. Just as SHORT CUTS interweaved various highbrow story threads into one somewhat convoluted and far reaching story, PULP FICTION takes themes from Cornell Woolrich and Raymond Chandler, mixes them with Seventies' TV and Fifties' movies into intertwining stories of deals gone wrong and criminals searching for some bigger meaning to it all.

It's no wonder that fans spend so much time debating what was in the suitcase, reading far more into the story than Tarantino probably intended. The film is so intricately structured, with so many astonishing details, many of which you won't pick up on the first viewing, that it seems to cry out for some deeper explanation. But there is no deeper explanation. "Pulp Fiction," is, as the title indicates, purely an exercise in technique and style, albeit a brilliant and layered one. Containing numerous references to other films, it is like a great work of abstract art, or "art about art." It has all the characteristics we associate with great movies: fine writing, first-rate acting, unforgettable characters, and one of the most well-constructed narratives I've ever seen in a film. But to what end? The self-contained story does not seem to have bearing on anything but itself.
