Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2...are undoubtedly THE best works of Tarantino after Pulp Fiction. The direction and the acting by Uma Thurman stand out as one of the best on-screen, post Y2K. I m surprised Thurman didnt get an Academy nomination for Vol 2. (Yes she was THAT good)

The unique story-telling plus the raw, ruthless and brutal fight sequences are superb. I liked the way the movie turned into B/W mode once The Bride started her slaughter, and returned to color once the massacre was over. And that one scene when she surveys the club floor, filled with bodies, some dead, some writhing, moaning, lost limbs, hacked heads, arms, legs everywhere, blood, blood, blood...damn I re-played that at least 7-8 times over and over again. :D

Anyway, I saw Dementia 13 earlier tonite. An excellent movie. Coppola's first (so I read somewhere) and I dare say, one of the earliest and best slashers to come out in the early 60s. Some scenes stand out, from which I loved the decapitation scene (probably the first in movies??)

Anyone who hasnt seen it, its worth every dime to check it out. Good value for money. Highly recommended.
