OK, my take on Kill Bill Vol.1: a wonderful, wonderful film. It's unlike his previous work for the obvious reasons: less dialogue, more action, slightly more coherent time line, and the obvious nod towards Asian Cinema. This could have gone horribly wrong, there is a fine line between parody and homage, but he stays on the right side of the line even in the more humourous, tongue in cheek moments; the fight scenes are great, plenty of blood and amputations and just enough wire work to keep it exciting but not too silly; and Uma Thurman is just stunning, playing the vengeful Samurai role perfectly. I can't wait for Volume 2...
