You've seen the
previews, you've heard the hype. Tarantino
is back. He rocked the nineties with his unique
film style and story telling technique. He
shocked audiences with things you'd never
seen or heard in a film before. Well, the
scary lookin' gremlin is back and he's not
pulling any punches.
Kill Bill is, at it's core, just a simple,
cheesy, pulpy (snicker) story about revenge.
The character played by Uma Thurman is turned
on by those close to her, beaten to hell and
thought dead. However, when she mysteriously
resurfaces, much shit hits many fucking fans.

Tarantino still shows his edge but he's very clearly
matured in his style. Anyone expecting "Pulp
Fiction 2" or "The Return of Jackie Brown"
best step back a few steps before just rushing into
this one. You are in for a hell of a ride, but the
action and visual style take a firm grip on the
reigns of this one rather than the dialogue in films
past. The choices that Tarantino makes are brave
and effective. A chop socky film made by a chop
socky fan to tell a familiar story in a very fresh
way. Sure, he uses some old devices to pull you
into the story and get you in the right frame of
mind for what you are about to see....but to use
a completely animated sequence to tell the story
of one of the main character's origins is pretty
innovative and damn fun. At least in my humble opinion.
"Ohhh" and "Ahhh" all you want
at his visual style or whatever strikes your fancy.
It's all impressive...but the thing that really
got me cheering is THE MAN CAN SHOOT THE FUCK OUT
OF AN ACTION SEQUENCE. Without really spoiling anything.....the
Showdown is AMAZING. It's like what you would get
if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" went
down to the red light district and found a hooker
and said "Hey, bitch....suck my cock."
And the hooker was like "Fuck no! You gotta
show me the money first." And "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon" says "I ain't showing
you shit, ho. Get in the fucking car and suck this
junk." And the hooker flicks "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon" off and starts walking
away. But "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
ain't having that shit. Nuh uh. "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hits the gas and rams
that hooker right into some trash cans with the
front of the car and then skids off screaming "HA,
BITCH!! I SHOT JFK!" That's how fucking balls
out the fights are in this flick. Especially the
one I'm speaking about. It's good shit.
The cast seems pretty dead on right now. I'm anxious
to see what happens in Vol. 2. Yeah....Miramax didn't
feel safe releasing a 3 plus hour movie, so they
split it up into two parts. But, you know what?
They did it fucking well with a cliff hanger that
kicks you in the balls like a mother fucker. But
back to the cast. Uma Thurman is just fucking sexy.
I dunno what it is about her....but watching her
kick ass is just wonderful. She's got kind of a
bad underbite....but she fills out a pair of yellow
leather pants quite nicely. As the avenging angel
who has returned to kill Bill (snicker), she's convincing.
Not like a Geena Davis ROBO BITCH...like from "The
Long Kiss Goodnight". She's very human and
vulnerable.....well....unless she's chopping some
poor bastard's hand off. It's all good, clean fun.
Anyone seen Daryl Hannah lately? Like besides her
Playboy spread? Me neither. Where the fuck has she
been hiding out? She's sooo hot in this flick as
one of Bill's cronies who tried to wipe out Uma.
Kung Fu film fans, keep a look out for a classic
martial arts movie star. I'll give you a hint....G.I.
SAMURAI. I thought I had stepped into a Time Srip.
I enjoyed this film IMMENSELY! I recommend you pay
the money to see this in a theater....like NOW!
But make sure the bitch sitting next to you isn't
like text messaging her friends on her fucking phone
with a bright ass, blue display light that ends
up shining in your peripheral fucking vision throughout
the entire movie. That sucks. IT FUCKING HAPPENED!
Regardless, I still enjoyed the film and found myself
extremely grateful that Quentin decided to grace
us with another film before the decade was up. Now,
we just gotta wait till Feb. for Vol. 2. (sigh)
The film God's mock us right now. |

| For a chop socky, action adventure
with a speghetti western feel and a whole lot of
blood and dismemberment....my vote is for "Kill
Bill". See it. So I can have someone to talk
to about it. PLEASE!!! |
