Kill Bill

Quintin Tarantino's 4th movie, "Kill Bill" is absolutely spectacular. The Village Voice called it the most violent american movie ever made, and while I don't necessarily agree with that distinction, it is at least one of the most violent. Limbs, heads, scalps, eyes and massive quantities of squirting blood were all removed from bodies. I find this somewhat amusing because it's a Miramax movie which means that it was in fact made by the Disney corporation. As if Disney didn't have enough problems as it is. Noticably lacking from the movie however were numerous drug references (disney influence, i don't know?). But even without the heroin flowing as freely as the blood, Kill Bill is an incredible black comedy. Where other movies would have some kind of sharp quib towards an offender of a main character, Kill Bill had a sharp blade in the process of dismemberment. I highly recomend this movie to anyone with a morbid sense of humour. If you think death is funny, go see Kill Bill. Then go out immediately afterwards and buy the sound track. Allan did, I copied it and we both think that the sound track is awesome.
