Jackie Brown is in my top 3 maybe top 2 QT films. I dig the slow burn, it's dialed back on some QT-isms and feels more intimate. It's based on an Elmore Leonard novel titled Rum Punch so it's interesting in that it's an adaptation of sorts _and_ clearly QT picked up his dialog style from Leonard (who is a highly recommended read - additional FYI, Leonard's story 'Fire in the Hole' was the basis for the brilliant series Justified, and that has the same sort of beautiful banter)
Didn't care for it ... it insists upon itself.
You made a jump from The Godfather to 90's Scorsese films, though you know the former wasn't directed by the latter (it was Coppola)[?]
Ah, another fan of Jackie Brown; I really loved that movie. And, like you, I also 'dig' the slow burn. Other things I like about it are the superb cast, a middle-aged female lead, the lovely story of bitter-sweet middle aged love, terrific soundtrack, and the fact that it allowed itself to take the time to tell the story.
Perfect, you nailed exactly why I like it so much. Pam Grier was fantastic in Jackie Brown (not to mention she's beautiful).
I think me ... I +was+ in Enter the Dragon.
Yeah, I'm 10th from the left, bottom row, just happen to be behind Bruce in this shot:

Agreed, @D.T. ; Pam Grier was simply fantastic; she inhabited that role. The scene where they drank coffee to the Delfonics - on a turntable - was terrific.
This is undoubtedly my favourite Quentin Tarantino movie.
And it was great to see a terrific and powerful female lead, a middle-aged female lead, a middle-aged black female lead - and she rocked; I loved the idea of understated, complicated, but sweet middle-aged attraction, and that it was a middle-aged attraction which crossed the race divide (although that was completely incidental to the plot, and was all the better for it) made it more lovely.
Above all, I loved the final bitter sweet scene; when she drove away from her old life, and from Max Cherry - who had clearly struggled with himself and his moral compass before declining to accompany her - in Ordell's Mercedes coupé to the soundtrack of 'Monte Carlo Nights' (Eliot Easton's Tiki Gods) which then segued into 'Across 110th St' by Bobby Womack. You could see what it cost them both. Brilliant.
Chappie (2015)- No offense intended to anyone who liked this movie, I did not care for it. First impression Robo Cop, the portrayal of AI was good, but I found the story far fetched, which might sound funny coming from me talking about an AI movie. How about implausible? I did not like the characters, hated the gangstas aspect of the story, especially a robot wearing fake gold chains, not to mention the the abuse of innocent AI. Hugh Jackman flopped compared to his real performance in Real Steel. The showdown at the end was lackluster. And after District 9, my South African accents meter pegged.
Directed by the same director (of District 9), this story was not nearly as concise or as good. It lacked intrigue and poignance, thoughts were not provoked, and the punch was superficial. For great intriguing AI, the kind of story that makes you think, watch Ex Machina. For Director Blomkamp, watch District 9 instead.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: Critics 31%, Audience 58%

I've always questioned whether it's believable, even in the context of scifi, that human consciousness could be transferred wholesale to a computer as portrayed. And I believe that this would not be something that a human could experience and wake up as calmly as Deon did. In fact a human might wake up and just loose their marbles, lol.

^ I'm guessing that the fact that you didn't mention the movie's humor once in your review, played a large part in your dislike for Chappie.
Of course, humor is the most subjective of arts, and if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work - - but we get so few quality comedy sci-fi movies that the ones we get deserve to be recognized.
(Now if you want to talk about an outright bad Neill Blomkamp film, we need look no further than the execrable Elysium - - cool concept, terrible execution.)

I agree we each have different expectations in what is entertaining. I did mention a fake gold chain wearing robot. That was supposed to be funny?
However, I felt the humor in this movie was out of place, or it did not mix well with the subject matter, the creation of something that would be fantastic. This was not a comedy, I acknowledge this is my opinion, not the final word, I disliked Eylsium, and since I'm speaking of SciFi I don't like, Guardians of the Galaxy did nothing for me either. 
Murder Plot (1979) Muddled wuxia that tries to be a mystery but fails in an epic way. First we do not find out the real murder plot until the intended victim shows up toward the climax. Second, way too many characters to follow.
The good news, David Chiang was fun as the smartest swordsman in the land. Wang Yu was equally good as Panda the leader of the Beggar Clan. And Lo Lieh always makes me LMAO when he's in a wuxia. The man did not know how to dial down his performances. So their work was a lot of fun, but the film itself was a mess. Not a complete waste of time by any means, but far fewer characters would have been more beneficial to the storyline / pacing etc.

Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 8.5/10
First time watching it in over 12 years and first time watching it in my 30's. Maybe 4th time overall. Has gotten better with each viewing! Production is why I like Pulp, Django, and Basterds more. But story, music, acting, and characters is very strong with Tarantino's first Hollywood film. It might even surpass Pulp in brilliant writing and acting and be right up there with QT's first script, True Romance. Tension is also high.
Only reason why I don't value watching it repeatedly is because I don't want to stare at a warehouse for most of the 100 minutes. Just bland background scenery around L.A. Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and L.A. Confidential can feel the same way but they offer some beautiful shots thanks to a higher budget. Reservoir Dogs isn't a fun and beautiful film to look at. It might be a City of Fire-ripoff but also the 12 Angry Men of crime movies driven by raw emotions. I might now prefer RD's Mexican standoff than in True Romance. The latter's felt more forced in. This one fitted better to the story.
Dogs surpasses Django and Basterds. With Django, the movie peaked after the Dicaprio/Waltz scenes. I also didn't like Jamie Foxx in the movie that much and we were left with Samuel L. Jackson doing what he does best - trash talking and saying Mfer alot like he did in PF and Jackie Brown and like what Joe Pesci did brilliantly in Goodfellas and Casino. Stacks Edwards graduated into the Joe Pesci role after getting capped from behind by him. With Basterds, Mike Myers was boring and Brad Pitt's accent sounded so fake and annoying. I didn't laugh once from Aldo. About 4 memorable scenes - Opening sequence, the entire German pub scene, and the deaths of the two leading female characters at the end. It moved way too slowly for long stretches. Seen both at least 3-5x each.
Reservoir Dogs is only 1 hr and 40 min long. Is more dialogue-driven and is like the Kevin Smith's "Clerks" to Tarantino's filmography with a limited budget but the sceenplay, characters, and music can be far more interesting to watch and listen than Django and Basterds. I might actually like Joe, Nice Guy Eddie, Mr. Pink, and Mr. Orange than every character in Django and Basterds save for Waltz and Diane Kruger in Basterds and Dicaprio and Jackson in Django.
But nothing will ever top Jules Winfield, Vincent Vega, Marsellus & Mia Wallace, Lance (Eric Stoltz) and The Wolf for me and is why RD will never top PF. Any movie that can make Rosanna Arquette's character watchable without showing her huge rack deserves an award. I prefer Scorsese as a director since his films are shot better but Tarantino as a better writer. I say Reservoir Dogs is better than Mean Streets and every film Martin directed in the 1970's save for maybe Taxi Driver and that one drags too.
Jackie Brown (1997) - 6/10
Like 1970's martial art chop socky flicks, I am also into blaxploitation films like Foxy Brown and Dolomite. I used to catch them late-night on movies channels. But JB might be my least favorite Tarantino film after seeing it a second time although I haven't seen Death Proof yet. De Niro, Fonda, and Keaton all seem pointless during most of the movie. Chris Tucker was only there for one scene although I don't mind that since I can't stand him. The characters, dialogue, and story just doesn't interest me. This is the most un-Tarantino-like movie because it was an adaptation of a book.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 - 7.5/10
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - 7.5/10
Since I am into Hong Kong cinema already, neither Kill Bills interest me that much. For action and more style, Vol. 1. For more story and acting, Vol. 2. But neither one impressed me that much. Alot of useless banter and the fight scenes were a joke. I think Uma did a good job for what she can do, but is amateurish if you compare her to say Michelle Yeoh who wasn't a martial artist to begin with but a dancer.
My Tarantino Favs -
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Django Unchained
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Kill Bill Vol. 1
6. Kill Bill Vol. 2
7. Jackie Brown
Tony Scott directed True Romance would fall between RD and Django. Hopefully, The Hateful Eight is in my Top 3. It seems like a western Reservoir Dogs/12 Angry Men with alot of character development and emotions in one specific setting. Has a good chance since characters and rapid, witty dialogue exchanges is usually what highlights a good Tarantino film.
I also finished L.A. Confidential (1997), Boogie Nights (1997), and maybe 1 hour into Titanic (1997). If 1994 is my favorite year in movies, 1997 might be 2nd thanks to a great summer with Face/Off leading up to Titanic. Boogie Nights is still a fun flick to watch only to lose steam at the end. But that first 1 hour is as entertaining from any movie I've seen. I forgot how many great actors were in it. It would be a better film if they cut it 30 minutes shorter and Mark Wahlberg wasn't into his pathetic loser acting mode that he does in most of his films including Ted.
I used to like Titanic and then went through that phase a few years later of bashing it. Love story is whack. They fall in love after a couple days? But it still screams production values ($200M). It is still basically a sappy chick flick with a historic disaster setting but I still prefer Titanic over Independence Day and the overrated Avatar although L.A. Confidential is the superior 1997 film since I enjoy Kevin Spacey in any role. I wouldn't watch Titanic over and over though and not for 3 hrs. Maybe once every decade. And I forgive Leo and Kate for their lousy dialogue thanks to their later performances in movies like Blood Diamond, Shutter Island, Django Unchained, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, and the pair together again in Revolutionary Road.
Out of the last six movies I saw in three days, my favs are...
1. Boogie Nights
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. L.A. Confidential
4. Kill Bill Vol. 1
5. Kill Bill Vol. 2

I went into The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with very low expectations and it met them.
While the style and humor exhibits occasional flashes of inspiration (and a couple of better structured missions than any in the recent Mission: Impossible movie), the whole movie is a clumsy mess. It would be hard to believe it came from the same guy that made the brilliant Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (if I hadn't seen his precipitous decline in his intervening films). The acting was adequate, though I was sorely disappointed to see Alicia Vikander's eminent lack of charisma after her stunning work in Ex Machina. By the end of the film, I was just happy to leave the theatre to put an end to the boredom.

I watched a few movies I had waiting for me on the DVR yesterday.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) - Pretty good, better than the previous two in the series of The Hobbit. Probably because there was more action and the dialog of the previous two wasn't captivating enough for me - but I still liked them.
![Screen Shot 2015-08-16 at 7.39.49 AM.png]( "Screen Shot 2015-08-16 at 7.39.49 AM.png")
Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014) - This was an odd film. It was okay and I'll probably not watch it again. I am a fan of Michael Keaton and thought he did well in the film anyway.
![Screen Shot 2015-08-16 at 7.41.49 AM.png]( "Screen Shot 2015-08-16 at 7.41.49 AM.png")
Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) - Pretty funny, just like the first one; I enjoyed it quite a bit. Especially with my favorite celebrity crush, Jennifer Aniston.

Thanks for the warning!
I watched the TV show as a kid, but I can't remember a single episode.Im trying to get up the nerve to watch Birdman.
...Im trying to get up the nerve to watch Birdman.
I really enjoyed Birdman for many reasons and I have a sneaky feeling you are going to enjoy it too, Huntn. It might not be a film for the masses, but for those who enjoy terrific acting, an excellent script and direction that is downright clever, you'll certainly appreciate this film.
I enjoy all of those things, and I most certainly did not enjoy Birdman (admire yes, enjoy no).
Im trying to get up the nerve to watch Birdman.
It took a spot among my favorite films of all time. Very highly recommended.
It is always fun to read someone else's opinions on movies and it was nice of you to go into detail, Savor. It sounds like you had a fun few days watching six movies and it was good to read your reflections. It took some work to share all that, so thanks.
Boogie Nights and LA Confidential still hold up well today. I enjoyed Jackie Brown. Although when it was first released, I despised Kill Bill volume 1 because I thought it was needlessly violent and sadistic. My wife wanted to walk out. I told her it was Taratino's homage to violent Japanese cinema and she said maybe he should have created an homage to a script. That's still the funniest, shortest review I have ever heard.
I have seen Kill Bill 1 again and have come to appreciate it more. The issue I have is when Taratino crosses the line to extreme. Up to a point, the violent or sadistic scenes are examples of great filmmaking. But then, either because of the homage or because he's borderline psychotic, he continues the scene and goes over-the-top. The boardroom scene with Lucy Liu is a good example. Without giving anything away, it's a marvelous scene with good suspense and it continues as she stands up to make her point. But then....swoosh and they geyser flows, continuously and bordering on the absurd. Granted, that could be the necessity of the homage but everything prior was an homage and it's up to a great director to know when to stop. Just my opinion there.
RE: Tarantino and the O.T.T. gore in the Kill Bill films. Pardon my butt in filmbufs,
but I had to respond:
Over the top violence that goes far beyond the norm into over the top, is a hallmark of director Chang Cheh who helmed a lot of the more popular Shaw Brothers films. Vengeance! (1970, which I adore) and The Duel (1971) are two delightfully unhinged examples of Chang's not knowing when to shut off the blood pumps. Five Elements Ninjas is a later example of this excess (and it's so much, it's funny.)
I suspect that QT threw in that much gore simply as a wink to Chang Cheh. Tarantino can be violent, but his levels of violence depend on what genre he's aping. I am not a Tarantino fan and while I do respect some of his technical ability and writing, I much prefer the films he rips off.
---
And today I sat through an even worse stinker than Five Elements Ninjas, the Golden Harvest production Broken Oath. As talented as Angela Mao was as a martial performer, she was not a very good actress. So her wooden orphaned daughter on a revenge kick falls flat even when she performs some excellent kung fu. Chan Wai Man once again comes to the rescue of an awful film (as he did in Five Elements...) as a skanky villain. Safe to say I probably won't watch this one for a long while and if I do, it'll be to fast forward to Man's screen time.
Prior to that mess, I watched a bootleg version of Judgement of An Assassin (1977.) Beyond one character and some muddled plot points, this was an excellent rethink of one martial arts clan's desire to rule over all others by inserting court hearings. Like Five Deadly Venoms, the court is easily bought and bribed and the innocent parties almost fail in their objective. And like every other Sun Chung helmed Wuxia I've enjoyed, it's filled with some excellent performances and characterization. I absolutely adored David Chiang in this. And Chan Wai Man's creepy Bloody Devil who could crumble tombstones with a single kick was great too. I cannot wait until my legitimate version arrives.

Hot Pursuit (2015)- An unfunny comedy staring Reese Witherspoon and Sophia Vergara. The less said, the better... Spousel duty.
I all most chuckle when someone is shot or cut in a movie and a pint of blood comes flying out like a ballon of blood has popped.

Yeah, even my very mature mom laughed out loud at a few of these. Most notably the Lone Wolf and Cub films. She was laughing in between wincing. My mom is usually very squeamish but she knows the deal.
Speaking of gushing, my previous post inspired me to watch Vengeance! again. I hope I have the opportunity to see this on the big screen some time. Such a great movie, another rare perfect one for me.
