: Kill Bill: Volume One

Author: Quentin Tarantino

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Wow, what a film! While I can see that some people wouldn’t like this — it’s violent, loud, and wild — I loved it. I didn’t go in thinking I would, either. While I’m a Tarantino fan, I don’t worship him or anything. This film, split into two movies because it was too long, had me dreading it would feel incomplete. Far from it. The action is amazing and the finale makes

The plot is a simple one, brilliantly executed: Uma plays a member of an assasination team who was betrayed and left for dead. After four years in a coma she wakes up seeking revenge, and goes after her former teammates one by one.

About Marc

 My Photo
Name: Marc Zeedar
Location: USA (Oregon)

I'm Marc Zeedar, writer and dreamer. I'm interested in writing, technology, programming, soccer, philosophy, engineering -- pretty much anything creative.

Why is this blog all movies and books?

 

In college I was given an assignment to write a mini-biography. Rather than do the traditional, I wrote mine as a chronological list of the influential books in my life, explaining what they meant to me (both at the time and later). This turned out even better than I expected -- the saying "you are what you eat" really ought to be "you are what you read." So I decided to do that with my blog: it's a journal of what I'm reading, seeing, thinking, with the occasional unusual event thrown in. Feel free to add comments!
