Advantages: Loads of tracks, pumpin remixes Disadvantages: *
After discovering the freemasons a couple of years ago with their release of Watchin and Love on my mind I immediately searched out other tracks on various music websites. After discovering Freemasons remixes of other artists tracks i was hooked! As a regular clubber too, i regularly heard these tracks being played in the clubs, always receiving a good reaction. This album features 2 cds each containing around 14 tracks each, depending on which version of the album you have. mine was a HMV exclusive version which features exclusive bonus tracks on both cd's. The album is kind of mixed so that the tracks blend into one another for a non stop party feel. Including great remixes such as Beyonces Deja Vu, Angie Stone's I wasnt Kidding and Faith Evans Mesmerized this cd offers club quality remixes.
It also includes the brand new single ...
Advantages: Looks nice, final chapter is impressive. Disadvantages: Lack of originality, entirely dull for most of running time.
Does Quentin Tarantino actually serve any kind of purpose? This question has been bothering me for a while, largely after the first Kill Bill, a film that annoyed me in a big way. I went into it expecting to enjoy it, and came out bored stupid after seeing two hours and what felt like badly assembled clips from other films. Looking back on his career, his trend is hardly a new one for him. Jackie Brown resembles a ton of 70s crime films. Reservoir Dogs is just a remake of Long hu feng yun, a 1987 Hong Kong film. Pulp Fiction appears to be his only original works, and deserves all of the praise that it gets. It's a stunning film. This aside though, there seems to be little point in what he does. Kill Bill Vol2 is no exception to this rule.
This is the point where I'd usually write a paragraph detailing the plot ...
Advantages: Amazing music, sharp script Disadvantages: Last third drags on a bit
Kill Bill Vol. 2 is the concluding installment of the Kill Bill saga. In this one the Bride (Uma Thurman) continues her vengeance against her ex-boss, Bill, and the two remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad; his younger brother Budd, and Bill's latest flame Elle.
The first one had more of an eastern feel, this one is more like a western. So it's dusty, dirty and sweaty. Again Tarantino enlists the help of Ennio Morricone, the man who can take an ordinary western and make it legendary. His music is masterful, the lone trumpets in his compositions invoking a sense of isolation and the wild west, which is exactly the tone this film needs.
The acting is good again, helped by a sharp script. The action scenes are fewer and far between than the first one but equally as impressive. Again during the fight scenes ...
