re: Natural Born Killers vs. True Romance

I think that True Romance is head and shoulders above Natural Born Killers. True Romance is clever and subtle. Lots of cool and sleek parts going on in the background. NBK is just blunt and crude. Everything about it from the camera work to the roles are just over the top and cartoonish. I guess it's good for being a bit of a roller coaster. It just comes across as being shocking for the sake of being shocking.

That's honestly all I took away from it at the time. True Romance has a bunch of different levels. How a movie can be filled with that much violence, and yet border on being both a drama and romantic comedy - all the while containing a scene where a 120 pound girl defeats Tony Soprano, the Sicilian scene - as well as Brad Pitt's "Floyd" (his finest character to date, IMHO) - and Oldman's "Drexyl" (sheer acting genius) - when you break True Romance down into the component parts - it just gets more and more awesome.
And I agree with this being the one we'll remember Slater for (at least positively) - more kudos for the late, great Tony Scott - Slater can barely act, yet Tony got his best performane out of him - and by a significant margin.
I haven't seen everything she's done, but Arquette has been "meh" ever since (didn't watch Medium - she gets rave reviews for that - and haven't seen her in Boardwalk Empire yet.)
