O.K....NOW I've found a good movie!



Just saw "Kill Bill Vol. 2" and it was GREAT! I will definitely pick up the Special Edition of the two movies joined when they come out later this year. And of course we all know The Bride confronts Bill so no spoiler there. Nothing fascinates more then listening to David Carradine's character in conversation, and there are several scenes where that's all he does. He is articulate, hip, deadly, and mesmerizing. It's true that revenge is like being in a thick forest, because once you get there you tend to lose your sense of direction. Uma Thurman travels from blood soaked revenge in the first movie to an emotional state you might not expect in a film like this. But of course this is Tarentino. Uma of course is a martial arts goddess. Flashback scenes where The Bride is trained by an old martial arts master are part of a nicely edited package which brings backstory into play at just the right moment. All in all very enjoyable, very cool, very funny...and on the whole, combined with Vol. 1, a great film. There's even a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson.
