Amazon.com
Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

Reservoir Dogs DVD 15th anniversary edition.......2007-06-08
I am very upset because I did not receive the sepecial package that I choose.
EXCELLENT DVD!.......2007-05-30
This DVD is the SPECIAL EDITION of the movie "Reservoir Dogs" that was released 15 years ago, it contains a huge amount of bonus material including various interviews with Quentin Tarantino and several other people that worked on this movie. It also comes in a special metal case that's in the shape of a gasoline tank, VERY COOL!
Reservoir dogs.......2007-05-16
Its kinda boring show. The only interesting part of the movie is constant arguing.... which the whole movie is only showing them quarreling in a warehouse. The whole movie is in the warehouse and nothing more. So its kinda boring i guess.
An intro to Pulp Fiction.......2007-05-14
This film shares many elements with Pulp Fiction. While not necessarily required to understand Pulp Fiction, it does enhance your understanding of Quentin Tarantino's style. This film may have been overshadowed by Pulp Fiction, but it still is a classic in its own right.
A timeless Jewel heist gone wrong.......2007-05-07
Quentin Tarrintino is an amazing talent when it comes to making movies, and ALL of his movies are great
but this (His first) is my favorite. His style is so hip and unique, and the characters always unforgettable!
Reservoir Dogs is basically the story of a jewel heist gone wrong.
The movie opens in a coffee shop with the gangsters eating breakfast right before the heist takes place.
The funny part about it is the discussion taking place at the table, about Madonna's song "Like a virgin".
We have the boss, his son (Nice guy Eddie)and the color-coded named criminals (the boss gave them the names because they don't know each each other, and boss wants to keep it that way)
We have Mr. Brown, Mr. Blue, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink (my fave)
What is interesting about this is, that after they leave the restaurant, we immediately flash to a car with Mr. White driving and Orange in the back - shot - blood all over the place!
They go to a warehouse and all meet up there, and as they begin to trickle in, one by one, it is realized that someone set them up-one of them!
But which one? Which one is the cop ???
They re forced to stay in the warehouse and wait it out, and 'honor among thieves' is put to the test.Tempers flare and blood is shed.But who ratted? And how will they get out alive?
One thing that makes this so unique is that it sort of plays backwards, and Tarrintino was pretty much the first to use this style of storytelling.
Another thing, the soundtrack is awesome!You will never forget what happens as "Stuck in the middle with you" plays. :(
There are a lot of awesome oldies which plays on the movie's 'radio station' "K-Billy Super sounds of the seventies".
There are many editions of this movie out, but the 15th anniversary edition is really PACKED with extras, and the packaging is cool too.
The 2 disc set comes in a slim metal "gas can" and the top pops off. Inside is a huge book of matches that hold the DVD's, the matches are from "Uncle Bob's Pancakes"... It really is a cool edition to own, even if you own the 10th anniversary, or other editions.
Highly reccomended entertainment!

Never Looked Better!.......2007-07-02
This is one of my Favorite Movies and when I bought my PS3 this was going to be my first Blu-Ray, but the local store didn't have it.
Finally got it, and man was worth it! The Movie seriously has never looked better, it was the first one where I noticed the difference easily, the others being both Pirates of the Caribbean.
Had a friend over and just played the opening clip, his jaw was on the floor, he could not believe how good it looked!
A worthy hi def transfer, yet not perfect.......2007-06-07
Fans of this underground cult entry by Tarantino should be pleased by the overall Blu ray presentation. For a 1991-92 film, we couldn't expect any HD extras so we'll just emphasize about the decent video and audio transfers that reveal in most cases the limit of the source print. There is some grain and smooth detail very theatre like, but overall the visual look seems to be well calibrated to justify an upgrade next to the DVD.
As for the audio score, well you can't expect a noisy 5.1 track here since the movie is mostly dialogue oriented with very few gunshots but again, they can't really make it much better unless restoring it - which not only purists but most of us don't want.
In short, worth a purchase for fans of Tarantino.
Alright Blu-ray.......2007-05-16
This is a decent transfure for being an older film, most sceens look clean, but the disk is a bit lacking in extras.
A Very Intense Film.......2007-02-07
Beyond the conventional heist movie, I enjoyed this film. I found it to be very interesting and thoroughly engrossing. The cast is incomparable. Quentin Tarantino is the master of orchestrating such dysfunctional character studies. I don't know if the study is dysfunctional or the characters or both. This is a real nail bitter. Great character studies hold your interest throughout despite the implied graphic violence.

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

Quentin Tarantino came out of nowhere (i.e., a video store in Manhattan Beach, California) and turned Hollywood on its ear in 1992 with his explosive first feature, Reservoir Dogs. Like Tarantino's mainstream breakthrough Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs has an unconventional structure, cleverly shuffling back and forth in time to reveal details about the characters, experienced criminals who know next to nothing about each other. Joe (Lawrence Tierney) has assembled them to pull off a simple heist, and has gruffly assigned them color-coded aliases (Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, Mr. White) to conceal their identities from being known even to each other. But something has gone wrong, and the plan has blown up in their faces. One by one, the surviving robbers find their way back to their prearranged warehouse hideout. There, they try to piece together the chronology of this bloody fiasco--and to identify the traitor among them who tipped off the police. Pressure mounts, blood flows, accusations and bullets fly. In the combustible atmosphere these men are forced to confront life-and-death questions of trust, loyalty, professionalism, deception, and betrayal. As many critics have observed, it is a movie about "honor among thieves" (just as Pulp Fiction is about redemption, and Jackie Brown is about survival). Along with everything else, the movie provides a showcase for a terrific ensemble of actors: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Christopher Penn, and Tarantino himself, offering a fervent dissection of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" over breakfast. Reservoir Dogs is violent (though the violence is implied rather than explicit), clever, gabby, harrowing, funny, suspenseful, and even--in the end--unexpectedly moving. (Don't forget that "Super Sounds of the Seventies" soundtrack, either.) Reservoir Dogs deserves just as much acclaim and attention as its follow-up, Pulp Fiction, would receive two years later. --Jim Emerson

Reservoir Dogs DVD 15th anniversary edition.......2007-06-08
I am very upset because I did not receive the sepecial package that I choose.
EXCELLENT DVD!.......2007-05-30
This DVD is the SPECIAL EDITION of the movie "Reservoir Dogs" that was released 15 years ago, it contains a huge amount of bonus material including various interviews with Quentin Tarantino and several other people that worked on this movie. It also comes in a special metal case that's in the shape of a gasoline tank, VERY COOL!
Reservoir dogs.......2007-05-16
Its kinda boring show. The only interesting part of the movie is constant arguing.... which the whole movie is only showing them quarreling in a warehouse. The whole movie is in the warehouse and nothing more. So its kinda boring i guess.
An intro to Pulp Fiction.......2007-05-14
This film shares many elements with Pulp Fiction. While not necessarily required to understand Pulp Fiction, it does enhance your understanding of Quentin Tarantino's style. This film may have been overshadowed by Pulp Fiction, but it still is a classic in its own right.
A timeless Jewel heist gone wrong.......2007-05-07
Quentin Tarrintino is an amazing talent when it comes to making movies, and ALL of his movies are great
but this (His first) is my favorite. His style is so hip and unique, and the characters always unforgettable!
Reservoir Dogs is basically the story of a jewel heist gone wrong.
The movie opens in a coffee shop with the gangsters eating breakfast right before the heist takes place.
The funny part about it is the discussion taking place at the table, about Madonna's song "Like a virgin".
We have the boss, his son (Nice guy Eddie)and the color-coded named criminals (the boss gave them the names because they don't know each each other, and boss wants to keep it that way)
We have Mr. Brown, Mr. Blue, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Orange and Mr. Pink (my fave)
What is interesting about this is, that after they leave the restaurant, we immediately flash to a car with Mr. White driving and Orange in the back - shot - blood all over the place!
They go to a warehouse and all meet up there, and as they begin to trickle in, one by one, it is realized that someone set them up-one of them!
But which one? Which one is the cop ???
They re forced to stay in the warehouse and wait it out, and 'honor among thieves' is put to the test.Tempers flare and blood is shed.But who ratted? And how will they get out alive?
One thing that makes this so unique is that it sort of plays backwards, and Tarrintino was pretty much the first to use this style of storytelling.
Another thing, the soundtrack is awesome!You will never forget what happens as "Stuck in the middle with you" plays. :(
There are a lot of awesome oldies which plays on the movie's 'radio station' "K-Billy Super sounds of the seventies".
There are many editions of this movie out, but the 15th anniversary edition is really PACKED with extras, and the packaging is cool too.
The 2 disc set comes in a slim metal "gas can" and the top pops off. Inside is a huge book of matches that hold the DVD's, the matches are from "Uncle Bob's Pancakes"... It really is a cool edition to own, even if you own the 10th anniversary, or other editions.
Highly reccomended entertainment!

Beating Alcoholism: The Quick And Easy Way.......2006-02-24
Here's how you do it: Believe in God and repent for your sins. Then things should turn around within the next day or so.
Until the last fifteen minutes, this movie just plays as a bad recap of a drunk's crappy life. His mom dies. His stepmom's a btch. His dad dies. He drinks. He gets married. He has kids. He drinks some more. His wife gets mad. He disappoints his kids. The wife threatens to leave. He calls up a reverend late night b/c he wants to kill himself. Then after the recap happens, that's when we get the "Left Behind"-like subtle message.
"He needed a paycheck". This is the phrase I had to repeat over and over once credits started to roll so I wouldn't lose my respect for Madsen.
Madsen drops to his knees and begs Christ's forgiveness. Once he does, he walks outside and actually says that he sees the world in a different way. He tells his wife that he's found God and that's good enough for her. Flip scene four months and the wife is tired of going to church. End the movie as Madsen walks by the bar and gives a soliloquy about how happy he is with Christ and without alcohol. Final moment? He gives a little dismissive wave to the bar (i.e. sin house) and give a gay, Miami-Vice, after-school special congratulatory jump in the air as the camera freeze-frames. See why I had to repeat the phrase? "He needed a paycheck".
Man this movie is bad. The B-Grade 80's production values don't help much. The script could have easily been a "Touched By An Angel" episode. It could have been knocked out in 30 minutes plus commercials. The acting is wooden and never believable. Even Madsen, of whom I'm a big fan and is the soul reason I sat through this, makes it clear that this is his first acting job and he doesn't know his a$$ from his elbow yet on camera. 45 minutes into it I started to get discouraged. This thing was like homework. I just wanted to put it away and say that alright, I saw half of it. That's good enough. But no. If I sat through Cheerleader Ninjas, I could sit throughout this. Some of the Dialogue is so bad that it's classic. I'll stick some quotes at the end of this so you can enjoy them too.
That's about it. To wrap it up ,this thing is a piece of crap that should stay flushed with the rest of the turds. But hey! Look! Michael Madsen! (See also TILT, EXECUTIVE TARGET, MY BOSS'S DAUGHTER, etc). Now I've gotta rewatch Reservoir Dogs and watch Madsen torture a cop to get my respect back for him. See ya, Kids.

This could qualify as an "Unshackled" story.......2006-01-18
This was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a bunch of dribble from Lifetime. However, I saw this as a faith movie. This may very well have been a true story of Cecil Moe. I'm not sure where he was born, but he had a good struggle throughout his early life where his mother becomes ill, and is left in care of by a abusive nurse named Myrna. This is where the children should stand up, and be noticed as Cecil's mother would die at the hands of Myrna, and Cecil's father is so snowed by Myrna that he doesn't listen to Cecil's plea to get rid of Myrna, and then it's too late as Cecil's father becomes a willing slave to her, and even to the point of making him forget that Cecil is his son. Then Myrna manipulates Cecil's father into shipping off Cecil into the Navy, and when Cecil's father tries to go see Cecil before he's shipped off to war Myrna abuses him to keep him from going. Unfortunately, Cecil finds out about his father's death after being overseas, and then begins his addiction to alcohol. He marries, and has 2 sons, but his alcoholism comes first because in Cecil's eyes it is his savior. However, after 12 years of marriage to both Johnny Walker, and his wife Cecil becomes aware that he can't be married to the both of them, so he goes out of despiration to a local pastor, and bares his soul, and then the pastor leads Cecil to Christ in a new way he never heard before. Before this Cecil would go to church, and hear the word of God, but it didn't sink in until this point, and before he leaves the pastor's home Cecil welcomes Jesus Christ into his heart, and home. However, his wife is at first skeptical because of all the broken promises before, and then because he becomes true to his word, and then it's she feels inadequate. The ending is rather good as it shows the word trying to convict Cecil's wife, and Cecil facing his own temptation by going into one of his old neighborhood haunts to work. This is a good movie to help those who are so focused on alcohol that they're on the last legs. For Christians this can be a good movie to help you stay focused.
