Quentin Tarantino

You can almost hear the studio pitch meeting echoing throughout Crimson Tide like the sonar on the soundtrack: "It's The Cain Mutiny on a nuclear submarine!" When radio communications problems aboard the USS Alabama prevent the sub from receiving its orders clearly during a tense confrontation with Russian warships, Navy officer Denzel Washington faces a huge ethical dilemma: countermand the orders of legendary Captain Ramsey (Gene Hackman) to fire nuclear missiles, or follow his command and risk launching an unprovoked nuclear war. It's really an actors' picture, and the fun is in the fireworks between Washington and Hackman, each of whose characters articulates solid reasoning behind his decision. There are no easy villains, and there's no easy way to tell right from wrong--that's what makes the nuclear stakes so terrifying. Director Tony Scott (who directed Quentin Tarantino's True Romance script) called in Tarantino to punch up the dialogue, which is why, for example, the sailors talk about Silver Surfer comic books. The digital video disc is in anamorphic widescreen; the sonorous underwater rumblings on the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will provide you with a good opportunity to show off your system's bass response. --Jim Emerson

This is the best movie ever.It is perfectly made.Quentin Tarantino just ceases to amaze me with his amazing movies.If you dont like this movie then you should just burn in hell because it is just perfect and you should shut up for being so retarded.

So, you're right. Is it art? I guess it must be. A lot of people think it's brilliant. Simply brilliant. Regrettably, I must be a moron because it seems to me like a lot of garbage.

Two things cross my mind. Actually three. First, it's a chunky Alec Baldwin (come on man, YOU ARE brilliant. Red October; The Getaway(s). Lose the role, get the role) in Pearl Harbor saying to Ben Afleck regarding some story he told . . . "It's b*******, but it's extremely good b*******." That's my first thought about Kill Bill.

My second thought is that if you sculpted the Mona Lisa in Guda Cheese, some one somewhere (I gotta tell you I think it would be LA) will tell you 'it's fantastic. Fantabulous. Brilliant. Splendid. Really.' It's bad enough going to weddings in Ann Arbor where the poor parents have spent $15,000 on an ice sculpture of the Infant of Prague. But at least no one is saying it's art.

The third thought I had is a comment made on TV about Janet Jackson and the ill fated wardrobe malfunction. And this person was saying that it was only a (insert gender specific body part here) and at least it wasn't decapitation and amputation.

Wow. Obviously that person hadn't seen Kill Bill. Could there be a movie that would trivialize the first 25 minutes of Private Ryan? If there is one, it's Kill Bill. This movie gave new meaning to the 1940 'angry boss' movies when they would quip, 'heads will roll!'

So, I apologize. There must be art here because it gets such rave reviews. Come on. It's junk. Makes Stallone sound like Olivier. 2 stars in lower case because Uma worked her (another body part) off and looked good doing it. L...
