Volunteers (1985)

Good comedy

[10/10 · 23 April 2023]

Despite mixed reviews, "Volunteers" is considered a fun movie worth watching for fans of 80s comedy and actors Tom Hanks and John Candy. I especially enjoy Tom Hanks' movies and like seeing him on screen. Although I have watched everything he has ever done, it took me a while to get around to watching this film. I looked everywhere to find it, and ended up finding a DVD to purchase, as well as other movies that were no longer available online. I had to buy some of them, but this was the hardest one to find.

You will have a good time watching this movie, it's a light comedy and I love seeing Tom Hanks' character, as he's different in this film, as well as John Candy's character going crazy. Of course, not to mention that this was the movie that began the romance between Hanks and Rita Wilson. It wasn't the first time they worked together, but it's cool to see."

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Best screenplay ever written.

[10/10 · 23 April 2023]

"Pulp Fiction" is an iconic film by Quentin Tarantino that revolutionized the genre of crime movies. The non-linear narrative, divided into chapters, is presented in a non-sequential manner that, at first, confuses the viewer, but later on, it is acclaimed as a masterpiece of creative editing.

It is safe to say that the film is a cinematic masterpiece and possesses the usual elements of Tarantino's films - sharp and impactful dialogues, explicit yet well-choreographed violence, exceptional performances by the entire cast, a memorable soundtrack, and cinematic references.

However, it is important to note that some of the scenes in this film are excessively violent and disturbing. Although "Pulp Fiction" is a critique of Hollywood's violence, it may not please or trouble some more sensitive viewers.

Regardless of the fact that Quentin Tarantino is my favorite director, in general, "Pulp Fiction" is one of the best movies ever made and represented a turning point in the history of cinema, leaving its lasting mark on many other crime films that came after it.
