Early Tarantino films straight up reinvented the noir genre. Between the ridiculously dark comedy, the insanely graphic, yet not cheesy violence and just overall creativity and structure, he etched his name as one of the most important directors of the 90s. Rave Motion Pictures is celebrating some classic Quentin for the 20th anniversary of Reservoir Dogs — screening on December 4 at 7pm — followed by what many consider his tour de force, Pulp Fiction, on Thursday, December 6. $12.50. 7pm.
