Pickings

Midway through the movie during a supposedly tense scene, I wondered if they are making a spoof of the movie!Spoiler: Empty bullet shells don't fall off after shooting a revolver.

I really liked the spaghetti western based music. It really brought me back to the early days of Clint Eastwood.

While I agree that some of the acting was sub-par, it was not embarrassingly so. Tarantino-influenced or not (who cares?

PICKINGS is a VERY low-budget film, and as such, I was willing to make some allowances. I figured it would feel small, and lack some of the zip and verve that seems to come from movies with more resources.

I read the Usher Morgan's book on directing films. That's how I found out about Pickings.

You can't knock a guy for doing a tribute film. I see that a lot of reviewers have called this a cheap Tarrentino knock off, but Tarrentino has no qualms about telling interviewers and films he has tried to mimic in creating his own films.

Over the top man hating revenge flick in which 3 sisters become a feared southern mafia after murdering their drunk wife beating father. (Justified murder, of course) Metting out their demeaning style of spitting, kicking, face screaming and assassination revenge on any bad "guy" that is unfortunate enough to cross their path(s).

At first I didn't really warm to the movie, the first few minutes proved to be coming from a jagged, low budget perspective... Yet somewhere lurking was a Tarantinoesc bombshell that went from lukewarm to boiling hot and easily could have been far darker than it actually was.

Nice movie with a different style,nice music and main female character is karismatic for this role..
