This is Tarantino at his best. A strong dialogue driven character piece that involves amazing actors in outlandish situations. The dialogue is crisp, the direction astounds and the story involving. There are scenes that make you squirm and there are scenes that make you laugh. Overall, an enjoyable experience...The opening shot alone with the "dogs" around the table discussing tips and Madonna sets the tone for an amazing movie to come. The disection of the crime and the organization that goes through it as well as many of the surprise twists keep you on your feet till the very last "shot". A great debut for a great career.

Everything about this movie is what you'd expect from Quentin. It is comparable to his classic Reservoir Dogs in innovation, style and his innate ability to pick up on popular culture conciousness and take it to the next level. If this homage to 1970s, King Fu doesn't get to you then you just don't like Quentin. The end fight scene is better than any I've seen in action/fantasy, Kung Fu with swords based in the Orient.

Attenborough's Chaplin offers a more politicalized perspective on this iconic star of American cinema. The film focuses on Chaplin's (played by Robert Downey Jr.# rise and fall in American film, culiminating in his exile from the United States after Hoover's relentless attempts to prove him a communist threat finally succeeded. Downey Jr. is really quite good as Chaplin, especially in the evolution of his English accent. #Although as the elderly Chaplin, he is a bit creepy). Anyone who is a tried and true fan of Chaplin, however, will find many details to criticize: his facial expressions aren't quite right, his physical movements don't quite capture the grace of Chaplin's. But, overall, it is a fine film, offering a fascinating glimpse of the personal and political life of perhaps the greatest film star of all time.

![The Geisha Boy [Blu-ray] [1958]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b4fa37bc-687f-4a3d-883b-55b25ed6fc5e.jpg)

One of the better Jerry Lewis movies made after his split with Dean Martin. Jerry appears as an inept magician with a white rabbit named Harry as a constant companion. Together, they travel to Japan to perform as part of a goodwill tour sponsored by the State Department. While there, Jerry befriends a young boy who constantly follows him around. Jerry gets into one hilarious jam after another everywhere he goes in Japan. The 1958 Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team (their first year in LA after the move from Brooklyn) makes a cameo appearance in this film. Overall, very entertaining and funny with a couple of touching moments between Jerry and his young friend.

![Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie! [Blu-ray] [2012]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8798/8798016_sa.jpg)

Very funny mix of old and new jokes. Several skits make up this cartoon version of everything you know and love about Cheech & Chong. From the drugs, girls and celebrities, you will laugh at something and feel it fits well with the existing Cheech & Chong collection. I'm glad there is something new out by these two hilarious nutjobs and figure I'm probably not alone there. They still have a ton of fans, and all of them are going to find this cartoon nostalgic.

Yes it's violent and bloody, and yes, the "n" word is used liberally throughout the movie, but it's a Tarantino film taking place in pre-Civil War South for pete's sake. What would you expect? All three leading actors were amazing. Fox & Waltz were insanely good. Beautifully shot and a compelling story that I was never quite sure how all would be resolved (other than knowing a bunch a folks were gonna die).
What's great about it: It's Quentin Taratino....'nuff said.
What's not so great: Nuthin'
