    I'm a Brit, but I bloody loved it, and I've never been a massive Tarantino fan (Jackie Brown aside). Shame about it shoring up Weinstein, but do go and see! It's unique.

    Also, anyone who didn't like Jackie Brown has no credibility whatsoever. Obviously doesn't like movies full stop.

    Uh, uh... didn't Denby gush over Funny People and that horrible Nazi killer movie with Liev Schreiber? 'nuff said. As for Edelstein, "an ungainly pastische" doesn't sound like an unvarnished rave. I think I need to see this before coming to any conclusion.

    I'm just wondering how the critics at Berlin bar Tarantino's will react.

    Not digging Pitt's Sling Blade lock-jaw grimace and "Um-hmm" voice cadence. Did Angie help him with that one?

    I've seen the trailer so many times now that I find it annoying, especially Brad Pitt's southern accent "My name is lieutenant Aldo Ray, and I need me eight soldiers"

    Didn't the Kill Bills get somewhat mixed reviews as well?

    @bluebears: I think it got fairly positive, if slightly mixed reviews. Volume 2 definitely received more acclaim, which makes sense because I think a lot of people weren't expecting that depth (yes, depth) after Volume 1. I heard Ebert say at UC Boulder that the two combined created one of the best cinematic experiences of the past 10 years.

    David Denby's name is penicillin to my bacteria. I cannot, cannot read his film reviews.


    Also, please say you're joking about that pronunciation.
