Kill Bill Volume 2 Review: A Worthy Sequel With Hidden Depths

Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 2 is a terrific form of entertainment, a blistering and meditative piece of fiction that gets to the heart of savage warriors.

In Jackie Brown, Pam Grier was the smartest character in the entire picture. Death Proof was a film that constructed a likable group of women, expertly balancing individualism and teamwork.
