Top 5 Quentin Tarantino Movies

Quentin Tarantino is arguably one of the most influential directors of the past couple decades. He's got a pension for violence, Hitchcockesque cameos, and Samuel L. Jackson. And personally, I am a huge fan of all of his movies. But there is a hierarchy in my appreciation of Tarantino's films. Here are my top five:

5. "Kill Bill: Vol. 1"

"Kill Bill: Vol. 1"

3. "Inglourious Basterds"

"Inglourious Basterds" follows the stories of a bunch of people who really want to kill Nazis. Christoph Waltz appears in this movie as well, as Colonel Hans Landa, a perceptive, coldly intelligent, doesn't-quite-know-how-to-say-bingo, Jew hunter. And then there are the basterds: a group of (mostly) Jewish Americans hellbent on killing Nazis. And finally, Shosanna. Refuses to fall for the charming German war hero, and is instead intent on her own revenge mission.


What I've always found fascinating about "Inglourious Basterds" is the movie within the movie, "Stolz der Nation," or "Pride of the Nation." It depicts the war hero struggling with his conscious as he guns down hundreds of enemies in a matter of days. It is very similar to American war movies, such as "American Sniper," where a tortured man struggles to murder children.

2. "Pulp Fiction"

You knew it was coming. "Pulp Fiction" is probably Tarantino's most widely known film. It consists of a series of intertwining, non-linear storylines. The characters are not your typical hero and villain, they actually have depth. And of course, Samuel L. Jackson.


1. "Reservoir Dogs"

"Reservoir Dogs" was Tarantino's directorial debut, which makes it all the more remarkable. It didn't have the flare and effects present in his later films, so it was completely reliant on a strong storyline and amazing actor performances. I think it can best be described as raw. Raw emotions, raw violence, raw Mr. Pink.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
