Except Salma Hayek of course lol. <br /><br />I think Tarantino's a genius. I think Rodriguez's is nowhere as talented and good mostly for shooting set pieces and violent/humourous scenes. <br /><br />Good review nevertheless, especially since you put a lot of focus on the best part of the film, Hayek.The Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604204981457343496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-8329552954846315862008-06-03T11:23:00.000-07:002008-06-03T11:23:00.000-07:00Christine, as you can probably tell from the revie...Christine, as you can probably tell from the review I like this one - but it isn't everyone's cup of tea (I know Chick over at Trash Aesthetics isn't a fan).Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-30331833502975620862008-06-03T10:55:00.000-07:002008-06-03T10:55:00.000-07:00Actually, I have seen only opening of this film.

I like it so much I own its comic adaptation, the soundtrack and the original screenplay in book form (London: Faber and Faber, 1996).<BR/><BR/>There was also a documentary made on the production of the film, called <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119165/" REL="nofollow"><I>Full Tilt Boogie</I></A> (1997).

However, after I happened to catch a clip of Salma Hayek's snake dance, I knew I had to own a copy.<br /><br />I was pleased to find the rest of the movie was entertaining as well.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230271850012415024noreply@blogger.com
