Comments on: Quentin’s favorite movies, post 1992 edition http://blogs.e-rockford.com/movieman/2009/08/17/quentins-favorite-movies-post-1992-edition/ When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

I was just coming to say the same things. Especially like QT's SPEED comments. I have always felt it was a great film, and I too remember seeing it opening night in the theater, and loved the tension and exhilaration. I agree with everything the two previous commenters said.

PULP FICTION is great too, but everything else he's done is either a mess or pretty forgettable. That said, he can make junk for the rest of his life and he'll still be known as a great director for those two films. I like his comments on SPEED. I watched it with a friend last year and we had both seen it in the theater when it came out. That film was just as exciting to us that night as it was in 1994. I think it's underrated or discarded because Keanu Reeves is the lead, but it's an extremely solid piece of action filmmaking. He's right about the MATRIX sequels. They're painful. Ruined everything so carefully set-up in the first film. RESERVOIR DOGS is still Tarantino’s best film.

Interestingly, he says Matrix 2 and 3 brought down the mythology of the series and ruined the original's rank. Maybe. I could say the same for every movie he's but out since Pulp Fiction. He should concentrate on telling a story again. Death Proof was one of the stupidest movies ever. Kill Bill should have been one part. The fault of both the films I mentioned is Tarantino's self- indulgence at the expense of viewers. Stories work better than shots, stunts and visuals.
