Movie #341 - Kill Bill, vol 2

Kill Bill: Vol. 2
2004 - Rated R - 2 hr 16 min
Director: Quentin Tarrantino
Starring: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Samuel L. Jackson

More blood and guts and gore and violent death! Hooray!  We get the rest of the epic tale in this second part, and it's got a nice twist at the end.  It throws the Bride (that's Uma) and the audience for a loop, while also complicating matters.

And as she fights her way up to the top (that's Bill, or David Carradine), we get more and more backstory and lots more action.  Plus, the Bride makes the best escape of her life.... from a coffin buried six feet underground. What?!

I get that these movies are not exactly for everyone, but I happen to love a good action flick with butt-kicking chicks and a good plotline.  This ranks right up there.

Movie #340 - Kill Bill, vol 1

Kill Bill: Vol. 1
2003 - Rated NC-17 - 1 hr 51 min
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Julie Dreyfus, Chiaki Kuriyama

Hot chicks covered in blood. Sweet ass action scenes. Gratuitous violence.  Foul effing language.

Must be a Tarantino.

Also, it must be awesome.  And this movie definitely delivers.  It's fun to watch, loaded with deceipts, double-crosses, and ooey gooey blood.  Uma Thurman kicks some serious butt in her quest for revenge against ex-love and ex-boss David Carradine.  And as the plot unfolds, and the backstory plays, we learn so much more about her reasons why.  Whoa.

I just love this movie. Enough said.
