Scrooge (1935), a review by addicted2dvd

Scrooge (1935)
Scrooge, the ultimate Victorian miser, hasn't a good word for Christmas, though his impoverished clerk Cratchit and nephew Fred are full of holiday spirit. But in the night, Scrooge is visited by spirits of another color. Straightforward adaptation of Dickens.

My Thoughts:
There is just no way I could have a Christmas Marathon and not watch Scrooge. There has been many different versions of this story made... but I have not seen many of them myself... so I can't say if this is the best version. (This one stars Sir Seymour Hicks)... but I can say I did enjoy it. This was actually a DVD I got free in a 20 disc/40 movie classic collection when I subscribed to Total Movie Magazine. Quality is far from great... but it is watchable at least. And for free I won't complain.

Vincent Vega has just come back from Amsterdam and he get's two new jobs from his underground boss Marsellus Wallace: first he is to retrieve a certain suitcase of Marsellus' and second to give Marsellus' wife a nice evening. The boxer Butch gets only one assignment by Marsellus: to go down in the fifth round of tonight evening's fight.

My opinion:
I would say that this is "the Tarantino movie". Despite its unorthodox structure of storytelling it is clear in the end what happened and in what order. But because of this "unordered" structure the first-time-watcher can't tell, when the movie is going to end and that makes it interesting.

The premise is good. I also enjoyed the episodes I have seen so far, but for some reason I never finished watching this series. But I definitely will some day.
