pleasant mush

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2003)

I just returned from the movie theatre, having seen by far the most violent film I've ever sat through. As far as sheer gore goes, it was hardcore pornography. Everything was shown, and done with comic book intensity (that is to say, at times unrealistic, over-the-top) one would think killing would become boring and repetitive after a while, but Lord no! Tarantino's Kill Bill oozes with so much style and originality, you will find yourself chuckling at a clever camera angle, the odd and exciting music, or even massive overhauls of entire sequences, done in such completely bizarre and wonderful ways, death becomes everything...something to fear, and at times, something to shamefully look forward to.
I don't want to give anything away as far as the plot goes, but it kind of jumps around the same way his other movies do. Also, the acting is very good and there are some hilarious scenes, especially the dialogue.

Seriously, if you like action movies, odd movies, martial arts movies, anime, or 70's camp...SEE THIS FILM. It will floor you. It will make you sick. It will excite you, and it will turn your head to mush...but pleasant mush. That's the state I am in right now.
Some people took dates to see it...some people had their elderly parents with them. I cannot believe any of these people enjoyed the movie. But I did. I cannot wait to see part 2.
