I'm gonna Kill Bill

It seems like life is really really returning to normal now. Not only did I actually cook yesterday (nachos and chili con carne), but we went to the movies for the second time in two weeks. Yesterday's chosen movie was of course Kill Bill volume 2.

I try not to have huge expectations when I go to the movies, because it usually just ends with disappointment. This movie wasn't a disappointment by any means, but it didn't have the same kind of impact on me than the first one did. I was trying to figure out yesterday why - maybe it was that I had some idea on what was coming, and the wow-effect just isn't the same then. On the other hand, volume 2 was very different to volume 1. There was very little dialog in the first movie, and lot of action - second movie was almost entirely the other way around.

But most of all, I'm in total awe of Uma Thurman. If she's not going to get some sort of recognition for this movie, it's going to be the biggest travesty of justice ever. Not only was she very convicing in the action scenes, she can also potray very sensitive emotions with the tiniest movements on her face as well as acting with her whole body when showing big emotions like rage or pain. I can't think of any other actress who can do this as Uma can.

Unfortunately Kill Bill volume 2 is not a movie on it's own right, it's quite obvious that it's just a part of a whole film. So we're left awaiting for the super-hyper director's cut DVD edition of Kill Bill as one movie, like it was intended. Hurry up Mr. Tarantino.
