Zodiac (2007 film)
I was really disappointed by “Zodiac,” because at first glance it seemed to be the kind of material that was right up director David Fincher’s alley, what with his similarly dark, previous forays into thriller territory, like “Panic Room” and especially “Se7en.” But “Zodiac” has nowhere near the kind …

Pulp Fiction (1994 film)
Quentin Tarantino is an unnatural director making movies with distinctively entertaining and yet thoughtful direction with unique presentation of a one of a kind story. I discover the very best of this style of his, not that there is anything bad in it, in Pulp Fiction.
