A Great Film from an Intensely Creative Director!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2003)

The first time I heard about "Kill Bill" or knew anything about it was when I bought the "Gangs of New York DVD" and watched the Sneak Peeks. Kill Bill popped up and I decided to click on that. What I saw was a preview for a mind boggling action film from my favorite Director/Screenwriter, Quentin Tarantino. I was convinced that the 4th Tarantino film would be the World War II film, "The Inglorious Bastards", since last I heard of him, he was still working on the screenplay. "Kill Bill" was a mighty surprise for all Tarantino fans. I saw "Kill Bill" on October 10th at 4:30, the first show to be shown at our theater (I even took off work to see it). Seeing Uma Thurman as "Bluuoop" ,or "The Bride" as they call her, reprising her role in a Tarantino film since 1994 got me so excited since "Pulp Fiction" is one of my all time favorite movies. The references in "Kill Bill" showed how dedicated Tarantino was to this and the rest of his films. "Pulp Fiction" fans will roar with laughter once they see the things that Tarantino snuck into "Kill Bill". When you see "The Bride" walk though the Tokyo airport, you see an advertisement for Red Apple cigarettes: the same brand Bruce Willis bought at the bar in "Pulp Fiction." And the relation between "The Bride's" secret organization DiVAS (Deadly Viper Assassination Squad) compared to Fox Force Five (Uma Thurman's character in "Pulp Fiction" starred in a pilot TV show with this name)will bring joy to all fans of Tarantino's works.
Tarantino is back with an amazing action flick, a great cast, and a brilliant screenplay and this is my favorite movie of the year. My rating: 10/10.
