A Romance That's Not Your Typical Chick-Flick

Posted : 6 months, 3 weeks ago at Apr 16 19:20
This would be a great movie with just the famous "Sicilian scene" all by itself. However, that part is just the sweet chewy center of a hard bitter tootsie pop of a movie, that no matter how many licks it takes to get to it's middle, it still seems like it's not enough. Directed by Ridley's Scott's brother, Tony & written by Quentin Tarantino, this is modern day lovers on the run story told with enough style, edge & violence to make the idea of Elvis as a guardian angel in this flick believable. Well, sort of. Anyways, if all romance films were made like this one, then you could be sure that my girlfriend wouldn't have to use the implication sex afterwards just to have to drag hairy pimp-ass to the theatre any time a chick-flick was playing. ...Read more

Clarence meets Alabama during a Sonny Chiba double feature. Later on, Alabama confesses that she is a call girl, but she's not a whore. There's a big difference between the two, she says. From then on, Alabama has always been a hundred percent monogamous to Clarence.

Tarantino's best!

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago at Apr 27 13:12
One of the best action films ever!
With an outstanding, mind-blowing cast that includes Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken; brilliantly directed by Tony Scott; this is by far in my opinion, Quentin Tarantino's best script ever.

Perhaps the best way to summarize the film (and the reasons why to watch it) is to quote Tarantino himself:

"People have asked me,
'So would you ever do a romance movie... like a real romantic movie... without violence?'
"Well, there'll be a lot of things in any movie I do that will be contradictory, but anybody who's a fan of the movie can tell you, the title - True Romance - is not ironic... this is True Romance."
