Rating: - * 16 definitions of cool ... It makes sense that when Tarantino was in the grips of his creative writing peak, this unusually attuned song selector would be at his best as well. Stringing together this unusual mix mainly contrasting R&B with Surf but certainly throwing in other classic genre nods as well, Pulp Fiction's distinct sequencing still stands out as one of the hippest soundtracks to emerge. Rating: - * Perfect condition ... The CD was in perfect condition and arrived in less than a week. And all this at a great price! Rating: - * Tarantino knows his music ... It's a safe bet that the Soundtrack to any Tarantino movie won't disappoint, and Pulp Fiction delivers. In addition to reviving the career of John Travolta, the movie resurrected many classic songs: Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie", Dusty Springfields, "Son of a Preacher" and the Statler Brothers, "Flowers on a Wall" were invigorated by the movie. With classic lines from the movie spliced in ("In France, it's a Royale with Cheese") it brings back the best of the movie. Certainly a great CD for the car CD player when the movie's not available. Rating: - * Where's Wray? ... I can't say anything about this soundtrack that hasn't been said a hundred times. The known songs are great and the surf songs are better. I just wonder why Tarantino didn't include Link Wray's "Rumble" that is played in the background during the Jack Rabbit Slims scene. It is such a great song, it would have put this soundtrack over the edge. Rating: - * The soundtrack is better than the film... ... I like this soundtrack a ton. Surprisingly, despite the fact that I love films, I rarely buy soundtracks. I only buy them if I dig the music. This is one of the few soundtracks I have, and I play it quite a lot. I think Tarantino is an overrated filmmaker, but his choice of music here is excellent. I really like the Chuck Berry song You Never Can Tell, and I really love Miserlou, the theme of Pulp Fiction. Son of a Preacher Man is a bonafide classic, and I dig Jungle Boogie, which is superior to Kool and the Gang's awful Celebration song. This soundtrack is better than the film. |


DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity... but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls. There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes (supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville . The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same amount as the "PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series). --David Horiuchi
