Yes, this is a review of KILL BILL, VOLUME ONE. But this is also going to hit some personal notes, as my relationship to this film is a little different than most that I see…

In the very opening scene of THE RUNDOWN, there’s a shot of California Gubenatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger passing by and mumbling something to the film’s star Duane Johnson (a.k.a. The Rock) that’s so quick you might miss it if you blink…

This past weekend was a virtual cornucopia for MCFTR goodness, with me attending a theatrical showing of THE BIG LEBOWSKI on Friday night and lots of fun at Dragon*Con on Saturday. Sunday night, however, I got to enjoy Drive InVasion at the Starlight Drive In in East Atlanta…

I suppose I shouldn’t fault Steven Soderbergh for wanting to experiment, but I’m starting to wonder just where his head is. The man who made his mark by rekindling interest in the indie film with 1989’s SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE has gone on to have quite an interesting career…
