"Kill Bill Volume 1"
Miramax
Starring Uma Thurman, Lucy Lui,
Vivica A. Fox and David Carradine
When “Reservoir Dogs” was shown at the 1991 Sundance Film
Festival, Director Quentin Tarantino had written and directed four
movies. Now, it has been more than five years since Tarantino
released a new film.
For most directors, this shocking length of time between movies
would have led to banishment to the island of forgotten filmmakers.
However, Tarantino has managed to carve a niche in American cin
ema with his previous three movies and has remained a favorite
director amongst movie buffs and casual theater-goers alike.
“Kill Bill,” Tarantino’s latest foray into film, has been delayed for
years. Many times this is a sign of a subpar movie that will flop in
the box office and eventually be the butt of jokes of film geeks and
talk show hosts.
But “Kill Bill” has risen above and beyond every expectation set
and has become one of Tarantino’s greatest films.
Closer in style to the quasifantasy-like world of “Pulp Fiction” or
“Natural Born Killers” to the gritty street-level violence of
“Reservoir Dogs,” “Kill Bill” is a violence-soaked adrenaline ride
that will satisfy the lowest levels of human nature.
When filming “Kill Bill,” Tarantino said he could not stop writ
ing the movie. Setting out to create a single two-hour action film,
Tarantino created a four-hour epic. Unable to part with any of his
scenes, Tarantino took his film and created two separate volumes of
the movie. In “Kill Bill, Volume 1,” The Bride (Uma Thurman), is
a former assassin who is attacked on her wedding day by her boss,
Bill (David Carradine) and his team of assassins (Michael Madison,
Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox and Daryl Hannah.)
Waking from a four-year coma. The Bride seeks revenge for the
deaths of her husband and unborn child who were killed on her
bloody wedding. In “Kill Bill,” Tarantino returns to non-linearsft
rytelling with a large chunk of the end of the movie being I
before any exposition whatsoever. Tarantino also utilizes a wit
array of color schemes to convey flashbacks and side stories, 1
large portion of the movie handling the origin of Lucy Liu’s ch®
ter is told through animation.
While the first volume of “Kill Bill” is by no means perfect!
is a cool movie. Audiences are sure to be split ove; this hard*
define film.
“Kill Bill” is slow-paced, insanely weird and brutally violenli
obvious homage to the Hong Kong and Kung Fu action film
Tarantino idolizes.
Several audience members walked out of the theater halfwi
through the movie, so potential viewers should be prepared for
violent spectacle. Any child under 16 should not see this movie.
If you plan to go to this movie to experience an action flick,yo
will not be disappointed.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
Garner appreciative of
media sensitivity
regarding divorce
NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Gamer says
the media were remarkably kind to her and
Scott Foley when they announced they were
divorcing.
“I think people understood that we were
just two normal people who really loved each
other,” the star of ABC’s “Alias” tells W mag
azine for its November issue. “You know, we
got quietly married in our backyard after
being together for a couple of years; we never
gave our wedding pictures out to be pub
lished. I think they got that we’re both pretty
brokenhearted about it.”
Gamer and Foley, both 31, met in 1998 on
the set of “Felicity,” the WB drama in which
he co-starred. They married in October 2000;
she filed for divorce in May.
But Gamer doesn’t like to dwell on specu
lation that her rise to fame playing TV secret
agent Sydney Bristow drove them apart.
“Honestly, I just don’t have enough per
spective on it yet,” she says. “I think there are
a million reasons why things don’t work.”
Gooding, who won an Oscar for his work
in “Jerry Maguire,” flew into Knoxville on
Saturday and visited with fans at a reception
for his new movie, “Radio.” He also learned
about Variety, which since 1982 has provid
ed medical assistance to children throughout
the world.
Gooding had the last laugh on Knoxville
Mayor Victor Ashe, who introduced the actor
as “Goodly.” Gooding quickly extended his
thanks to “Mayor Ashley.”
“Radio” was filmed in South Carolina last
year and based on the story of James Robert
“Radio” Kennedy, a mentally impaired man
who found a place in the hearts of Anderson,
S.C., residents after he was befriended by
coaches in the local schools.
Regina Key, of Powell, brought her two
children and two of their friends to the screen
ing. She was impressed by Gooding in her
brief meeting with him.
“He’s friendly, outgoing and energetic,”
she said.
Robbins plays Dave Boyle, who was
abducted and sexually abused as a boy. No
one ever talked about it afterward.
In Dennis Lehane’s book, which inspiral
the movie. Robbins said there’s a great scene
“about Dave’s mother and father pretendk
that nothing ever happened — as if by pie
tending it didn’t happen it would all go aw;
Said Robbins: “And it says somettitt
about being a man, too, and working dass,
that you don’t admit emotion. You don't cry
You can’t be beaten. And it’s such a strong
ethic in those kinds of neighborhoods.”

Rodman charged with driv

Inspiration for newest
role came from his life,
Tim Robbins says
Cuba Gooding, Jr. helps
raise money for
Knoxville, Tenn charity
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Academy
Award-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr.
helped a charity raise nearly $80,000 —
donating $10,000 himself.
“He’s fabulous,” said Dena Pinsker, exec
utive director of Variety, the Children’s
Charity of Eastern Tennessee.
NEW YORK (AP) — Tim Robbins says
he drew inspiration from growing up in New
York for his latest role in Clint Eastwood’s
movie “Mystic River.”
Robbins was raised in New York City’s
Little Italy and Greenwich Village, playing
with children from working class families.
“We’d play hockey in the streets after
school. Working class families,” Robbins said
in an article for Sunday’s edition of Newsday.
“Mystic River” tells the story of three child
hood friends from a blue-collar Boston neigh
borhood — his co-stars are Sean Penn and
Kevin Bacon — who are reunited by murder.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Dennis
was charged with driving under the
ence of alcohol after he crashed a motorcy
cle while doing stunts outside a strip
police said.
The former NBA star, who was tn
Sunday for cuts on his legs, was not jailed
on the misdemeanor charge. He was is
a summons to appear in court for an arraign
ment in three to five weeks, police said.
“He borrowed an employee’s motorcycle
and was attempting to pop wheelies when he
hit a pole,” police spokesman Jose
said Monday.
Last month, the 42-year-old formet
rebounding champion was charged
being drunk in public in Newport B
Calif., where police say they
answered scores of complaints about
at his home.
Rodman is a regular visitor to Las Vegas,
where he reached a settlement this year with
the last of four women who accused him of
fondling them at a hotel-casino in 1998.
He last played in the NBA in
the Dallas Mavericks.
