Jackie Brown
Jackie Brown trailer (R rated) don’t let the holiday music opening fool you, hang in there!
My diversion from the thesis tonight — Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Pam Grier, Samuel Jackson, Robert De Niro, Michael Keaton, Robert Forster, Chris Tucker, and Bridget Fonda.
A very good grade B movie. Heavy homage to Shaft and Superfly, but with a Tarantino twist. Set in 1995 but the music kept pulling you back to the early 70’s. Very smooth though — seamless, subtle time shifting: old music, newer time period. Bobby Womack’s 110th Street theme — totally Shaft. Pam Grier is very fine.
