Movie of the week:
KILL BILL, Volume 2

Good movie-making. I recommended the first part wholeheartedly. Now you have to watch the rest of the story. Still filled with lots of movie references and inside jokes. But even if don’t get the inside jokes, there’s still plenty to like. I think the ultimate Kung Fu reference is the fact that they cast David Carradine as Bill.

I know what you’re wondering, after seeing Kill Bill, Vol.1, you’re probably asking, “will she ever kill Bill?” You’ll just have to watch to find out.

Enjoy

KILL BILL, VOL.1

KILL BILL, vol.1

Even if you don’t like Quentin Tarantino’s movies, you have to admit that they got style. This one is his best (and don’t be yelling “Resevoir Dogs” at me – this is the one).

It’s violent. But the violence is so absurd, you’ll be laughing at it 20 minutes into the flick. It’s clever and slick, as are most QT’s movies.

This film has an added benefit to those of you who have watched a Bruce Lee feature or two. There are lots of references to those old movies: the yellow track suit that Uma wears through most of the film; the soundtrack; plently of references to The Green Hornet; etc…

This is what movies should be: a good time.

Enjoy.
