"The Hateful Motel 6"
“Bad Times At The El Royale” sees “Cabin In The Woods” writer/ director Drew Goddard indulging his inner Tarantino as he sets up this lurid, pulpy neo-noir tale of deceit, desperation and death in a faded motel, still trading on its glamorous past and novelty location....

I was looking to forward to this film with such a great cast and a legendary director behind it but was left quite disappointed once it was all over.
This was Tarantino showing us how great hollywood was in the old days and how they dont make them nowadays like they did then.Dicaprios character seemed like he was heading towards a nervous breakdown for most of the film and Pitt's character was just there,hanging around and being cool.
The best part of the film was the ending,that was tarantino at his brutal,bloody and violent best,loved the way that brandy the dog helped kill the manson family members.
An enjoyable film but for me the weakest of all of tarantino's movies so far.

Brilliant & brutal
A great story with a great cast. Christoph Waltz is one of my favourite actors at present and is excellent here. The story is engrossing although some scenes are very graphic with a lot of violence, what else from a Tarantino film. One of the best Westerns for a long while.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the 9th film by Quinton Tarantino. Set in 1969 the film follows Rick Dolton, an actor whose career is on it's way down and his stunt double and friend Cliff Booth. Although this is a Tarantino movie it is not an action movie but more of a ‘slice of life’ movie with some action scenes.
Like all Tarantino movies, when there is no action, and there is very little action, the film crawls at a slow pace with lots of set up, dialog and driving meaning that nothing much happens for the first hour and a half. This time is used to set up the characters and the three intertwining time lines; The main one with Rick and Cliff, one that follows Sharon Tate and one that follows the Manson family.
As with most Tarantino film’s the narrative isn't linear with a lot of Rick’s back story being told by flashbacks and clips from films and T.V. shows, both real and fictional.
I have said that this is not an action film but it does have a few violent scenes, including people getting burnt with a flame thrower. The film culminates with the Manson family's murder of Karen Tate and Roman Polanski, however, as with Inglorious Bas****ds the film goes off on a different tangent from what really happened.
There are a few ‘meta' moments in ‘Once upon a time in Hollywood’ including a moment where Rick is reading a book that is echoing his life and other moments where Rick and Cliff interact with other real actors, most of whom don't play themselves (partly because some of the real actors are dead) creating and oddly unreal atmosphere.

I love Tarantino as much as the next guy. This movie was fantastic. The acting was on point, and the fight scene with Bruce Lee was BRILLIANT (don't let anyone tell you different). I loved everything right up until the climax. I'm down with ultraviolence and gore, but that final scene was just not enjoyable for me.
