I<\/span> had a bunch of movies on the ‘Screen of desire’ list to check on to, but I’ll start out with Jackie Brown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If I’m not wrong, the second movie of Quentin Tarantino, the
\nself-taught director of the hit Pulp Fiction (which also happens to
\nshow tonight, but I’ll skip that one). However, this movie didn’t get
\nas much attention as Pulp: basically because fans expected a kind of a
\nsame movie. Also Jackie Brown seems to be the kind of typical
\nTarantino tricks in the ‘We let old stars burn again’-category, in
\nthis case it’s Pam Grier<\/a><\/em>
\n(from Foxy Brown to Jackie Brown, I hear you). The movie focusses
\naround a stewardess who tricks law enforcement (Michael Keaton) and
\n‘bad-ass’ gangsters (Samuel Jackson, De Niro and Bridget Fonda). And
\nyes, apparantly Tarantino wanted to focus on the characters and that’s
\nwhy most fans ended up disappointed.<\/p>\n

However, there are some flashes of Tarantino-style editing: the
\nshots around Bloomington’s are surprising (but not original). Also Pam
\nGrier probably displays her best acting skills in this
\nmovie: I suspect Tarantino to have a secret crush on her.<\/p>\n

To close off this rant: Pam looked pretty much different at the end. Like way older<\/em> than in the rest of the movie. But maybe I see ghosts. And mind the cursing and the weird<\/em> shot of De Niro doing something you wouldn’t expect him to do. Luckily he gets shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
