Kill Bill

Stylish, over the top, and tons of fun. Vols. 1 and 2 of Tarantino's bloodfest don't pretend to be anything they ain't. It's a revenge story, with not too much character exposition, a simple story (with a nice little twist at the end that's not entirely unpredictable, but still satisfying), and OH! so many bodies. The homages to 70s kung fu movies and the Hong Kong originals fly fast and furious and shamelessly, and it's all a very good time. Not for the faint of stomach, for sure, but worth the DVD rental.
