Film: Kill Bill vol. 1

With so much noise surrounding it, I was always going to see Volume 1 of Kill Bill. And while I'm not usually a fan of heavily blood-splattered films, Kill Bill was wonderfully entertaining last night. The violence is so over-the-top that it's not upsetting: it doesn't resonate with anything in the world I know. What's left is a blend of cinematic tricks and treats, laced throughout with jet black humour.

Best avoid it unless you like 18-certificate gags; I can't wait for Volume 2.
