    The Silence of the Lambs

    ★★★★★

    Memory, Agent Starling, is what I have instead of a view.

    The Silence of the Lambs is a perfectly paced masterpiece of suspense and atmospheric tension. The acting was as close to perfect as you can get.

    This is such an iconic film I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally watch it. It definitely lived up to the hype.

    This was just a pure master class in all aspects of cinema. One of the greatest films of all time and certainly it stands the test of time. You can see how it heavily influenced everything that came after it.

    Kill Bill: Vol. 2

    It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin.

    The 5th film by Quentin Tarantino is actually still the 4th film by Quentin Tarantino.

    Kill Bill vol 2 has a different pace to it, its not as glamorous and as big of a spectacle as vol 1 but God damn does it hit harder than Pai Mei's five point palm-exploding heart technique.

    Vol 2 is still drenched in style and radiating originality while all at once paying homage to the martial arts epics of the 70s.

    Jackie Brown

    ★★★★

    My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.

    Tarantino's third feature film Jackie Brown is his most underrated film.

    It has a little of everything that makes him who he is as a filmmaker. A crime film at its heart, Tarantino pays homage to blaxplotation films and does so in style.

    The humor hit harder than I remember it. Robert De Niro's portrayal of Louis Gara honestly might be my favorite De Niro role. Brilliant.

    I forgot just how good this is. Tarantino was so sharp and crisp in the 90s.
