...heart, a movie about movies--a whirlwind graduate course in pulp-film culture. Vol. 2 also boasts some scenes that will have cultists attaching mental footnotes: flicked references to John Ford's The Searchers and the Jackie Chan--Michelle Yeoh Supercop, as well as a rehabilitation of Pei Mei, a.k.a. White Eyebrow, a villainous character from '70s Hong Kong action films. Here he's a stern but endearing teacher (played with majestic comic brio by the legendary Gordon Liu). You'll also make the Kung Fu connection. That was the '70s TV series that made Carradine a star...
...each character’s lips is sealed at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel, when Bill (pretending to be Beatrix’s father) kisses his feigning daughter in an eerie scene that dares to surpass the sexual tension which famously transpired between Thurman and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Tarantino’s most famous and still superior work. And in a stirring, if jilted, closing moment, Bill’s inevitable fate is confirmed by a trickle of blood from his starring body part...

Imagine Quentin Tarantino parlaying Pulp Fiction into an endless string of movies, each set in the mean streets of a different city. You're getting close to picturing Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series from British gamemaker Terry Donovan. The most recent installment, 2002's GTA Vice City, is a kind of homage to Miami Vice, in which you play an underworld figure in 1980s Florida. You are what Donovan calls an "aspirational gangster...
Richard Dreyfuss (Mr. Holland’s Opus) and Eric Stoltz (Pulp Fiction) star in this new production of Arthur Penn’s 1976 Broadway hit entitled Sly Fox. Foxwell J. Sly (Dreyfuss) is a con man operating at the emergence of the Gold Rush in San Francisco. The mad zeal for glittering nuggets proves to be a perfect opportunity for Sly and his assistant to make a tidy sum. The screenplay, written by Larry Gelbart, is a reimagining of Ben Jonson’s darkly comedic Volpone. The production will also feature Bronson...
