Fandango (1985)
Simply annoying.
I really fail to understand why some believe this is a good movie. From the very beginning you can feel that you are simply up to a film without any sense.
This movie is about five friends (even though one of the simply plays no role in the film) that go in a trip to find "Dom", something they hid long ago near the border with Mexico.
The idea of the movie is neither original nor is it well developed. You constantly get a feeling of despair because the plot is dumbly unbelievable. The events that this group goes through are totally unchained one from another, without mentioning that the whole idea of their trip and the stubbornness of one of the members of the group is simply annoying. I must admit that the movie gets a little better while approaching towards the end, but that doesn't make it a good film at all.
I don't recommend watching or renting this movie unless you're up to seeing a very predictable, no depth-in-plot film.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Great Movie, but fails in its intention
What can be said about Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill? Some consider it a masterpiece, others don't. The only certain thing about this movie is that it loses its original intention. In this movie, Tarantino tries too hard to make a sort of replica of the classic Japanese samurai films combined with the well-known martial arts movies. This can be easily seen from Uma Thurman's clothing, the yellow suit with the black line is featured in "Game of Death" featuring Bruce Lee. The problem that this film represents is that in virtually every Japanese movie of the types mentioned above, you'll never find massive, senseless slaughtering because the fighting is actually NOT the main idea of those movies, but the preservation of honor along with the demonstration of courage and skill. Certainly this movie has Tarantino's style well-engraved in it. I believe it's been highly regarded by many because it has the name of a well-known director, and most supporters fail to find the true meaning and intention of the film.
*Just for reference you should watch a couple of Akira Kurosawa's movies , see which style you like best.
