Bill Vol
 Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2 (Box Set) $56.99 Usually I am not a huge fan of Tarantino, but when he is great, like with Reservior Dogs or this fantastic duo, he is truly a unique filmmaker. Uma Thurman is great is this, she is perfect as the bada** heroine and Caradine rocks as her nemisis the eponymous Bill. This is just a fun movie to watch, it's full of over the top violence of course, this is Tarantino afterall, and the the action sequences are sort of tougue in cheek, in a omage to Bruce Lee. In addition to Thurman and Caradine, Daryl Hanna rocks in this, the fight scene between she and Thurman is one of the great cinematic Cat Fights of all time. This film is really Uma Thurmans and she throws herself into it head first. Really the best part of the film is the ending, it ties everything together is and is poinient and funny in way..the look on Caradines face is priceless. Since this is actually one film broken into two parts and this is a box set I really saw no reason to compare the two, I reviews it as as whole, and you should look at it as such, I mean who is going to watch Vol. 1 and not Vol. II..get realz. Nice work, by Tarantino, highly recommended, really a classic of this genre..uh whatever this genre is~  The Best of Bill Frisell, Vol. 1: Folk Songs $14.98 really nothing to say. the music speaks for itself. just listen to the samples here. Can't wait for vol. 2. Wonderful Feel Good Music!  Bride Sword From Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 Hattori Hanzo Katana with Symbol Engraved Blade Free Stand $75.00 You can see the hot glue bulges at the ends of the scabbard--very cheaply put together--where the decorative gold tips are attached. The stand is very unstable. As mentioned by previous reviewers there is a wax **and greasy** residue on the blade each time you pull it out. The decorative mouth cover came right off with the blade revealing hot glue was used to attach it to the Koiguchi mounth of the scabbard. From a distance it looks nice but up close not very impressive. I wouldn't pay the $32.95 (valued at $75 or more?). This was purchased based on price to donate for a charity auction, but wasn't even up to par for that. We'll see if they get $20 for it. If I hear better reviews from the bidders at the auction I will append this review... but I doubt it. (not sure if I used the sword anatomy names correctly, but you get the picture). :-( |
