Movie Reviwe 2-2


Well, to tell you the truth, I do not like this movie so much. First of all, I think this movie has too many meaningless violence scenes. I know that all most of Quentin Tarantino’s works are totally very violently, but the violent scenes in this movie are especially beastly for me. Second of all, the story sucks. I don’t believe that anyone would like it. The screenplay was written by creator of “Reservoir Dogs” and “Pulp Fiction” and I like those, but “KILL BILL” isn’t interesting at all to me. At least that is my opinion.
Speaking of the actors in this movie, I am so glad to mention about Uma Thurman because she is one of my favorite actress. The character she played named Black Mambo. She was one of assassins and trying to wash her hands, but her boss doesn’t like it. That is why the boss attacked her and Black Mambo lost her first baby and husband. In the movie, Black Mambo is trying to have her revenge so the title is “KILL BILL”. Uma Thurman is well-known as an actress who played in a lot of movies. She often appears in a movie as a poor woman such like Fantine in “Les Misérables” or Glory in “Mad Dog and Glory”. Basically, she is very talented.

Book Review 2-4

"Men in Black"(1997)

James is a New York City's finest who believes that there are no aliens on earth. One night, James was chasing a suspicious-looking man on the side of the road and found that the man was not a human. After that, a middle-aged man who wearing black suits and black glasses visited police station and introduce himself as a secret agent named "agent K". The middle-aged man's goal was scouting James to their organization. James refused that offer at first, but finally he became a member of M.I.B as "agent J". After J joined to the organization, K and J ran into an alien who claims help. The alien said that a war will be broke out if they don't keep hiding a special treasure in earth. Soon, the two agents started to find the treasure and save the earth from bad aliens.
This movie and novel book was released in 1995. I wasn’t really excited about the story because I don’t like science fiction so much, but movie was totally funny. It is kind of comedy, but you would be moved when you watched the last part of movie.
Will Smith played agent J. He had also appeared in a alien movie named “Independence Day” ten years ago. That movie seems horrible to me, but Randy Quaid had done an excellent job as an air force pilot. He is very talented actor, I guess.

Tony Shalhoub played a strange weapon trader.
Recently he is known as "Monk".
