Review By Mike Thompson
- See it or die!
Quentin Tarantino’s utter genius is really put on stage in this revenge
driven, kung-fu tribute movie. After six years of seclusion, QT comes back with
a bang. Kill Bill Vol. 1, originally going to be one movie, has done it all;
over budget, passed deadlines, surpassed rating boards (who knows how)... and
now it is finally released to the public!
I know that it is impossible for Quentin Tarantino to be common or cliched,
and with Kill Bill Vol. 1 he makes it noticeable for everybody. He is not scared
to offend anyone, which is a winning attitude to have in this business. Of
course, you get the people who get angered, but for the most part you get people
who are astonished and awed by the performance that they have just witnessed. He
showed all of this with his first direction, Reservoir Dogs. Then again with the
award-winning Pulp Fiction that got John Travolta his big start, along with the
Miramax company. And yet, one more time we were blessed with his Jackie Brown in
1997, which I think was very underrated....more

- Who said they don't make 'em like they used to?
Writer-Director Quentin Tarantino is back with a vengeance
although it is not his that is getting all the kicks in Kill Bill Vol. 1,
a martial arts playhouse for Uma Thurman (from Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction)
and her consorts played by Vivica A Fox and Lucy Lui accompanied by a host of
Japanese nightclub purveyors in the much talked about brilliant climatic show
