My rating for QT (as director) goes like this

- Pulp Fiction

- Reservoir Dogs

- Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2

- Jackie Brown

- Sin City (since he was only a guest director)

- "Death Proof" segment of Grindhouse

- My Best Friend's Birthday

- Four Rooms (one segment, forgot which)
Tarantino directed exactly 1 scene in Sin City, but he wrote From Dusk Til Dawn & True Romance. To me, (obviously just my opinion here) he played a much larger role in the films he wrote than he did in the film he helped RR out on 1 rainy scene. *Shrug* Not that it really matters though, all the films he had a significant part in making have been fuckin' badass if ya ask me.

Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning


After 4 pretty solid films, this franchise takes a nosedive here. Bad acting, bad script, minimal gore, and an imposter Jason to top it all off. There are still a few entertaining pieces here or there but they are pretty few and far between in this one.

Spider-Man 3

Ok, so yes, I saw about half of this in the theater(Don't ask), but I liked it much better than the second one. The first is still the best, but the third was really good. I don't see why they ended it the way they did, but I won't spoil it for you. It wasn't dissapointing.

8/10

I m willing to bet he did a lot more than just write or produce in all the movies he is credited as writer or producer. A writer/producer who is a director himself can be a really valuable asset to the movie-maker, since he can give a lot of inputs into the story and the visualisation of it. Hence its hard to distinguish between Rodriguez and Tarantino as different entities, as far as their collaborated projects go.

To me both of em are two wheels of a well-oiled and tuned Ferrari. Pure class.

28 Weeks Later.
You folks in the states will probably have to wait a lil longer for this one...but, all the same...I thought it was very good. I was very apprehensive, as I loved the first one, and do 'til this day...The first scene in the film was insane, not to mention some craziness I won't even mention.
Tense, chaotic, met my expectations.
Felt a little like it ended a tad too quickly..and I think I still prefer the first, but as a fellow fan of the first for anyone wondering if the sequel is worth it, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

It came out today.

I may take my girlfriend Raven to go see it. I mentioned it last night and she says she really liked the first one and wants to see the second. So that may be what we do today.
