KILL BILL V2

...was damn good. I will not write a full-scale review here, because to do so would require me, as designated by the Holy Tarantino-Reviewer Codes dating back to antiquity, to reference movies none of us have ever seen and name-drop directors none of us have ever heard of.

Just go see it, and while not completely necessary, it would help to have seen Volume 1 before you do. In short, great acting (particularly Uma, David Carradine as Bill, and Michael Madsen), more eclectic cinematography and music, engaging and witty fight scenes (including a delicious sequence pitting Uma against Daryll Hannah), and plenty of helpful, context-building dialog.

For a review that A) captures my view of the movie relatively well, and B) includes some of the name-dropping to which I referred at the beginning of this post, here's Elvis Mitchell of the NY Times.
