Highly entertaining movie!  It's Quentin, so expect some flying blood and language.  The basic story was endearing, but of course I didn't come away feeling all gushy and stuff - which is good cause I probably would be rating this movie lower if I had.

There were some very funny moments in the film.  I laughed out loud numerous times.  Also, there are some classic Tarantino shots - like all the gunman coming into the house at one time.  Stuff blew up and people were in shoot outs - right up my ally!!!

I wish I had a better memory cause there are some awesome lines in this.  Samuel L. Jackson threw out some fabulous one liners.  They probably wouldn't be as funny out of context though.  Still, he I think had the best funny lines.

Obviously, I recommend the movie.  It's Oscar nominated for a reason.   I do recommend you NOT let children see this though.  It's Tarantino.

Favorite Scene:  The Klan discussing the bags.  Don Johnson was great!
