Volume I blew us away. In Vol II, we all get gathered in to hear the rest of the story.

I know why Beatrix was in love with Bill...it's his voice, and the way he tells a story. Nevermind that he is a self-proclaimed "murdering bastard", and he is nurturing the talents of a "natural-born killer", they are in love. We all know that you can't help who you love.

Anyway, Quentin makes a double right angle turn away from the full on gory slashing frenzy of KB I, and sends us down into American Ravine Revenge; to an incomparable gunman with a pearl handled revolver, on lonely dusty red roads, with no-good-down-at-the-heels brother, viciously jealous second banana girlfriend, and, always, the Woman who continually asks her question..."where's Bill?". And on down into Mexico for an amazing encounter with Bill's mentor, the unforgettable Esteban.

And that's not all, folks. The best is yet to come and couldn't possibly be guessed.

I said it before...Quentin's talent is lush and he is extremely generous to us. He chose the music which is an absolute miracle.

Couldn't be better. Thank you, Quentin. I love you.

Beatrix Kiddo has some unfinished business ("Baby, you ain't kidding") with several of her former co-workers, and she needs some special equipment to do the job, so she flies to Okinawa to enlist the aid of the finest sword maker in the world, now 20 years retired. Upon learning the name of her arch enemy, he immediately comes out of retirement.

When Hattori Hanzo presents her with his "finest" sword, he says that "god will be cut".

I say that Quentin is(a)god, and I know he loves me because he made the "Kill Bill"s just for me. Quentin, you can believe me when I say your talent is lavish and vast.

I am your perfect viewer, Quentin...I saw the movie(s)several times, and paid full ticket price + I bought the DVDs, ++ I bought the soundtrack(s), and I can't stop talking about them! About the music...sheer genius. It makes me so happy! Thank you! SEE THESE MOVIES

This charming, involving film has enough star power to launch the space shuttle. This is a writer's film, and not a word is put wrong. These characters interweave with each other with such confidence that the audience can just relax into a delightful anticipation.

This movie has a perfect script, and is perfectly cast. Tobey Maguire stole the show and may never top his performance, Frances McDormand is intensely in love with Michael D., who sorta kinda might know he has slouched his last slouch, and Robert Downey, Jr. makes women everywhere despair as he chooses first a towering transvestite, and second the wonder "boy" of the title.

I bought two of the videos and gave one as a gift, and I bought the soundtrack, which is satisfyingly moody.

Highly recommended.

Midgets, creepy crawlies, titties, wackos. Nothing more, nothing less. And then, The End (finally).

Why, when these two magnitudinous stellar points of light can choose the cream, did they choose the skim? Maybe they just aren't smart. Neither of them has the star power to carry a movie alone, and together they cancel each other out.

Gaaaah! What a waste.

This movie is like being in love...you can't stop smiling. The ingenious Coens have made another sweetheart of a film. Usually, when I leave a movie this happy, it's a love story.

This is a kind of goofy buddy movie with charming, unexpected performances from everybody. Three convicts escape, have meeting with fortune teller/seer, make a record, get caught, escape, meet a famous bank robber, meet beautiful women, get caught, escape (and each escape is more poetic than the last), discover that their treasure has been betrayed, become a famous singing group (and they don't even know it)by virtue of their recording...and on and on.

This film is fascinating, funny, freedom loving, and fine. The director's vision with perfectionist cinematography flood the audience with golden images, creating a nimbus of timeless radiance.

But wait! There is more! The Music. So much fun and expertly done. I have new laugh lines on my face. I almost don't mind.

You don't know me, but take my word for it, this movie is a true gem. These high-power, smart, funny, comic savant women got together and (I'm sure) had the best time of their lives making this film. And we are the beneficiaries.

There are only a few wonderful "screwball" comedies. The last one I remember seeing was "What's Up Doc?", until now "In the Spirit", directed by Sandra Seacat, is right up there with the best of them. In fact, I might suggest that the "spirit" is not only Reva's inner guides, but the ghosts of Hitchcock ("Mr.& Mrs. Smith"), Cukor ("The Awful Truth"), and Hawks ("Bringing Up Baby") are alive and well and kicking up their heels!

I hope you have as much fun watching as I did!

After the last two or three Steven movies, "I was 'starting to get in a bad mood'", but this latest one, "Exit Wounds" fixed all that.

Steven is looking in good form and there is a lot of male "eye candy" all through the movie. I never get enough of watching Steven in action (oh, for a slow motion button or instant replay to really contemplate all that goes on), and still I want more of those smooth, fast, supple moves he makes.

There is no stopping the action in this imaginative flick. Lots of great cars and "cool" wardrobe add flash and color.

Tiny quibble...no new way of killing the baddest boy. Good kill, but not original.

See it, you'll have fun, people are actually flying out of cars!

Everything about this movie is pure class. Black and white, director's choice and perfect. Ingrid is beautiful and mysterious and Cary is looking his personal best, and his passion for the lovely lady is always there, in his eyes, unspoken. The love scenes are cool, but hot (know what I mean?)and I learned how to kiss from this movie.

Hitchcock's famous camera angles are seen all through this movie, especially in the "key" scene. Ingrid wears Edith Head clothes to perfection and some truly great jewelry.

I've seen "Notorious" bunches of times and every viewing is a pleasure. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Slightly crazy, cute premise (mysterious... which one of them is REALLY the son of Elvis? Smoke-out duels--somebody is always lighting up and more shooting than any six war movies. I just sat back and enjoyed it. Kurt Russell is a standout, as usual.

This is a light hearted film featuring a knock out comedy performance by Cindi Lauper. Jeff Goldblum is charming, bemused and droll and Peter Falk is so funny. They all wind up in South America seeking "a room of gold", and dancing a lovely tango.

The scenery is beautiful, the music lush.

I consider this movie a friend.
