Before I start my Memorial Day weekend movie marathon I wanted to write a short entry about the last two movies I checked off of the list. Again, you'll probably be shocked that I had not seen them until recently but that's okay.
First up was "Pulp Fiction." I think I previously stated that I am not a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies. While I don't object to some blood and violence (I do typically like action/adventure movies) I find that Tarantino's films usually go a bit overboard on the blood, gore, and violence. At least that is my opinion. Now I was actually a bit surprised by "Pulp Fiction" that it didn't go to the same extreme as films like "From Dusk Till Dawn" (or at least the 2nd half of it) or "Inglorious Basterds" (which I despise for so many reasons...none of which are relevant to this post). So for that reason "Pulp Fiction" is probably the Tarantino film I like the best.
The second movie crossed off the list is "The Matrix." I left this choice up to a random Facebook poll as which to watch next and it was nearly a unanimous choice. Although my friends seem to overwhelmingly recommend this film I was left less than impressed (and certainly not eager to watch the next films in the series). Maybe it was because I didn't really "get it." I have to admit I was more than a little disappointed because when compared to some of the titles in this challenge it was one I actually wanted to see because so many people I know really like it. Maybe when the challenge is closer to being completed I will give it another try to see if it makes more sense with a second viewing.
With that I will end this entry so that I can start with the movie marathon in about 30 minutes. I'll write a new post reviewing tonight's selection(s).
