Movie Thoughts is a semi-infrequent series where I briefly write up my thoughts on movies I've watched recently.
--
I watched three movies this month: American Psycho, and both Kill Bill movies.
American Psycho – This one took multiple days due to how completely over-the-top it was. It wasn’t the violence or gore that got to me, but the self-absorbed superficiality of just about all the characters was too much to handle for more than about half an hour at a time. Also, I now understand the comparisons people make between Patrick Bateman and Tom Cruise.
Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 – These are (somehow) the first Tarantino movies I’ve ever seen. I’d heard that his movies were incredibly referential to other movies, but I didn’t realize just how many references there would be. There’s a lot that anyone who’s watched older Japanese and Hong Kong films would recognize.
