Very nice

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2004)

Alright. I just got back from seeing the latest Tarantino offering, Kill Bill. From the very first frame of the film, I knew I was in for a treat. The opening production credits sent me back in time, to when my mom and dad would take me to see kung fu B-movies. Dusty, dirty, film footage, accompanied by a scratchy, wonkey soundtrack (a la Godzilla) Then the first 10 minutes of the movie had me wondering if I would be walking out, because it is going to be too graphic. But it was nothing like Reservoir Dogs, where I almost did do so. This movie was stylish, sexy, funny and sad all at the same time. The fight scenes were remarkable. Especially one that takes place between Uma and a sexy little Japanese Schoolgirl. Though there were a lot of limbs and heads lopped off, Tarantino made it gory, but ridiculously funny at the same time. This movie is definitely one of the best I've seen this year. Obviously not for everyone (a few people walked out), this film is best not taken too seriously. If you are a fan of old Chinese kung fu movies, and have some knowledge of Japanese animation and the like, you will love all the subtle intricacies in this film. In short, this is one hell of a movie, that is not to be missed!
