Pulp Fiction

4/4 stars

Never duplicated, this movie blends early 90s dialogue heavy indie with the feel of 60s and 70s crime films and truly lives up to its name. Incredibly well written, directed, photographed and acted. In short, everything is dead on.

Sin City

2.5/4 stars

Propelled by a distinctive style and an entertaining storyline, these unfortunately do not overcome uneven performances (some are inspired, but there are a few times in the film when you wonder why a competent director would keep the take you just saw) and an unnecessary degree of unpleasantness.

Live Free or Die Hard

3/4 stars

This movie was just as idiotically intense and exciting as I was hoping it would be, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Still, the potential for repeat viewings could have been much improved by action scenes a little sharper and one liners a little smarter. The original Die Hard was a classic for a reason. This is just popcorn, albeit damn tasty.
