I saw Tarantino's movies in this order: Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill.
I loved Pulp Fiction, loved Reservoir Dogs, and thought "What the fuck happened with Jackie Brown?" (I might need to see it again - I only saw it about 1.5 times.)
So, when I heard about Kill Bill a year or so ago, I thought "Wow, that's a dumb fucking name for a movie." And since it seemed as though he peaked with Pulp Fiction, I figured that it was going to suck eggs. Tarantino, I thought, was a two-hit wonder.
Then I started seeing commercials for it, and I was like "that looks like it might be pretty okay." I just felt kind of compelled to see it, half expecting it to be crap.
I was <b>wrong</b>. Dead wrong. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay wrong. It's the best movie I've seen all year. It's right up there with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, and has me thinking that maybe I was wrong about Jackie Brown and need to watch it again. Kill Bill is awesome. I will buy the DVD. I will buy it twice, just to help boost sales and encourage movie studios to take risks on movies like this. Wow.
Tarantino has me believing again.
