Quentin Tarantino has gained superstardom and has done so with barely a handful of movies under his name. This guy is so good and if you haven't realized by now, I suggest getting to know his credentials for he is an unusual, visually explosive and phenomenal genius at making movies come alive. Music is another element that Tarantino uses quite remarkably in every frame-by-frame shot where it is heard. The music, just as important as the words spoken or the scene being directed, is laid out perfectly.

The story of Kill Bill is quite simple, a bride who was once part of a brutal assignation group called the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad is now betrayed by those members on her wedding day. The whole wedding party and those a part of the ceremony viciously slaughtered in front of her. The bride herself beaten and a slug in her head put there by the big guns himself, her boss, and past lover, Bill (David Carradine), and father of her unborn baby.

Years later, after awaking from a coma, revenge is all she is hungry for.

However, that is where the simplicity ends. Once the film starts, it just doesn't stop and even when the action slows down, it's the facial expressions, the music, the personalities of each of the characters and the direction that keeps the intensity, the uncertainty, the continuing want of knowing what will happen next burrowing its way under your skin.

The bride (Uma Thurman) a.k.a., Black Mamba, makes a list of those who did her so very wrong and now she goes in search of them, one by one, until she slays them all. We also get background information on one of the Squad members who is shown in Anime. That whole sequence was one of the most bloodiest and riveting I've scene in awhile. A very cleaver approach, having a part of this story being told through that medium, it was an amazing sequence that not only was disturbing, but also let you get a peek inside of that character's mind.

Music is one of Quentin Tarantion's trademarks and he, again, pulled it off with the greatest of ease and brought a fascinating collection of music to his film."Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra is just perfect for this movie. At first I couldn't place who was singing it or if even it was an older or newer piece of music. When I found out, I was most impressed for the placement of the song and totally crazy about it, in general, and for the opportunity to hear this fantastic song for the first time and for Nancy's gorgeous singing, of course.

The music performed by the 5, 6, 7, and 8's was hyper and fun. Overall, very interesting, it definitely worked out well. How cool was it to use The Green Hornet score? Very cool and you will see just how cool it was used.

Kill Bill is a work of art, an outrageous combination of splattering bodies, bloody grotesque images and psychotic humor. Incredible action sequences that draw you into this wild illusion and the pulsating acting that leaves no question in my mind how awesome the performances were. Truly, this is an exceptional film, by one of today's best and brightest writer/director names in the movie business.
