What do you get when you take James Gandolfini, Christian Slater, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Bronson Pinchot, Michael Rapport, Tom Sizemore, and Patricia Arquette and put them all into one movie?
My latest induction into the Man Hall Of Fame, True Romance, written by Quentin Tarantino. This movie has it all a man could enjoy.
A comic book manager, a hooker, mobsters, lots of gun play, even the ghost of Elvis himself! This is a wild ride that has often been forgotten or overlooked today even though it did enjoy a special edition DVD release a couple of years ago.
The writing and story are all Tarantino and you could tell he was refining his style before Pulp Fiction, another possible induction into the Hall. While most people enjoy this movie it is violent but in a comical way. Yeah I know that isn't like putting chocolate and peanut butter together that tastes great together, violence and comedy is more of a tightrope to walk. When done properly it is stunning to behold, when it isn't it is a catastrophe.
So if you have seen True Romance you know what kind of movie I'm talking about, if you haven't then you should!
