• DVD review

  QUENTIN Tarantino's fourth film Kill Bill is a fantastic piece of cinema. Starring the stunning Uma Thurman as a character so far only known as 'the Bride' or Black Mamba, it charts her determination to exact revenge on a group of female assassins who tried to murder her on her wedding day.
