The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly: Round Two

The Good: Kill Bill Volume 1. I wouldn't say it's one of the best movies I've ever seen but I did enjoy it. Tarentino had so many new ways of portraying a story. Each scene was different. A small part of the movie was even anime cartoon. Plus seeing Uma Thurman take out 80 guys is pretty cool. Like I said before I was a bit squirmish during that fight, but I made it through.

The Bad AND The Ugly: Kill Bill Volume 2. I wished for two things during this movie...that Uma Thurman's character, Beatrice Kiddo, had just died in the first one so there didn't have to be a second one...or...that she had killed me in the first movie so I didn't have to watch the second one. It was slow, and terrible, and slow, and no cool fight scenes, and slow, and, oh yes, painfully slow. Kevin and I were outraged by the end. Even the credits make you mad. They show every tiny little character that had 2 seconds of camera time...FROM BOTH MOVIES. The only way Eubert would have given this a good review is if it he said "I really enjoyed the movie, best sleep I've had in years". Tarentino is still genius though. He spends a lot of money and makes the first movie great but incomplete so that you HAVE to go see the second one. He then spends little or no money on the second one, provides some cool shots for advertisements, and makes it just long enough so that people watching the movie don't get out in time to warn the people going in to watch it in the theatre next door. Those poor souls, they are still there now, sitting in the theatre in absolute stillness...because they are asleep.

I must now go cheer on the Flames as they try to take the lead again in the series against Detroit. Boo Deadwings, Iggy RULES!
