It's Almost Time to Kill Bill (Really, This Time!)
Elvis Mitchell's New York Times review of Kill Bill: Vol. 2 bodes extremely well after the impressive first installment! Mitchell comments: '"Vol. 2" works like a multimedia mix tape, and Mr. Tarantino rides the tempo of his films like a D.J., abetted in the wheel-in-a-wheel trickiness by the deft fingers of his editor Sally Menke.'
Earlier in the week, David Kehr's article 'Charting the Tarantino Universe' looked at the major influences on the two volumes of Kill Bill, stressing the primarily Eastern influences on the first volume, and Western influences on the second. The article traces the origin/references to many of the main characters and actors, and is a great read.
Less encouragingly, A.O. Scott looks at the upcoming Punisher movie and finds something "remorselessly ugly and punishingly inhumane."
