Summary: must have for tarentino fans
Comment: I have always loved this movie, it is definitely a great movie if you are a fan of "pulp"ish movies. as far as blue ray goes, the features are the same as what was included on the anniversary edition a few years ago, but the picture quality is good if you are worried about that!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Boring!
Comment: After the initial 1/2 hour of this movie, I just kept waiting for something even remotely interesting to happen but it never came. I'd love to know how many times I thought to myself, "When the &%$# are they going to get out of this "warehouse"? And that was after another unfortunately long and boring scene in the restaurant! The entire premise of the movie seems to be nothing more than a venue for Tarantino to indulge us all in terrible "one-liners". This ranks right up there with Super Troopers (which I actually mailed to someone - I was that eager to get rid of it)! I think I'll give this one away too!

Summary: Reser-Blu Dogs!!!
Comment: It's nice to see that Lions gate is putting out better Blu's these days,their Blu's of films like T2,The Punisher,Stargate are pretty void of extras,they look good but Blu's can hold a %#$@load of content,much more than a DVD,get me wrong I DO own those mentioned titles,and they do look great on Blu but they could have been so much more,so if you have the origianl DVD's keep em' for the extras,I smell yee' ol' double dip in the future,especially since the new Punisher and upcoming Terminator film,well back to the review,Reservioe Dogs has never looked of sounded better,and the extras a top flight,but keep your 10th anniversary dvd,because the extras here are different than the ones on that release!!! No collectable gas can case,but heck,the folks at Amazon had it on sale for less than 10 bones brand spanking new,can't argue w/ that!!! A Tarentino(his debut) classic!!! Recommended!!! A+

Summary: What would YOU do in this situation?
Comment: This movie is FANTASTIC, Yes it is over the top and Extremely Violent and Profanity laced,but except for one CLEAR Psycho, everyone else seems pretty rational(As far as Armed Robbers go). What makes the movie is the interpersonal dialogue, and how SANE and CLEAR everyones thought process is. I try and picture myself at that warehouse after all the stuff goes down, and I am pretty sure I would be thinking EXACTLY like Mr.Pink. I can even understand why He sides (Sort of) with Mr.Blonde because even though that man was a MADMAN he wasn't a cop, and is the ONLY guy he KNOWS he can trust.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I'd go over twelve percent for that
Comment: Reservoir Dogs served notice that a new auteur was on the scene, but though a good first effort for Quentin Tarantino, it was just a taste of things to come; and it seems like an experiment that was only partialy successful. Though it is often imitated, spoofed even like for instance a scene in 'Swingers,' it seems like it uses a lot of gimmicks, and even though said gimmicks are pretty much Tarantino's style, in later works, i.e. 'Pulp Fiction,' he is able to better integrate those gimmicks into a seamless tapestry.
It seemed very fresh and original at the time, but it may be getting a bit stale now, past its sell-by date. Like for instance, the scene where they plan the caper in the restaurant while discussing Madonna. Flash forward to 'Pulp Fiction' where they discuss what cheeseburgers are called in various European cities.

Mr. Orange: Personally, I can do without her.
Mr. Blue: I like her early stuff. You know, 'Lucky Star', 'Borderline' - but once she got into her 'Papa Don't Preach' phase, I don't know, I tuned out.
Mr. Brown: Hey, you guys are making me lose my... train of thought here. I was saying something, what was it?
==============================
Or how about where Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) does an interpretive dance/Vincent Van Gogh impression to the sounds of "Stuck in the Middle With You" by Stealer's Wheel?
------------
You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.
[He removes his razor]
Mr. Blonde: You ever listen to K-Billy's "Super Sounds of the Seventies" weekend? It's my personal favorite.
============================
Can't remember specifically where in 'Pulp Fiction' he used this gimmick to better effect, but it is oh-so Tarantinoesque, and if Quentin didn't do it in 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Kill Bill, Volumes I and II' then a tsunami of imitators that followed in his wake surely did.
Funny how even though it is a caper movie, the actual caper is never seen, only the events before and after, not the actual caper itself. Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen (did you know this guy actually published an award winning book of poetry?), Steve Buscemi: awesome.
