Tarrantino hit this one out of the park. The dialogue master set the bar for these type of multi-story movies. The 8 million gun barrels of snatch would be nothing if not for this movie...

Mel Gibson is a fantastic director, "drinking aside" This movie is rivoting and graphic...love it.

Talk about tension...Oh and it should only be watched in German w/subtitles...otherwise you are not there with them in the sub.

Steven King is a horror genius, but this actually turned out to be the best adaptation of his to date.

Great comedy with flawless acting from Hepburn and Grant...they really don't make movies like this anymore.
