| Volume 1 of Quentin Tarantino's bisected Kill Bill is at once less

full-length films - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown -
were amongst the best films of the last decade, but...more |

| It is too soon to be sure but "Kill Bill, Vol. 1" may be Quentin Tarantino's
weakest film. The reason I say too soon is because we are only seeing the first
half of a three-hour-plus movie - Volume 2 will come to theatres in February.
