I am a great fan of both Kill Bill segments, and I can safely say that yes, that statement made previously is very, very true... in some sense.

Kill Bill, while being violent and bloody, did not cross the line of "safe" violence, in my opinion. It was all safe. Sure, there was excessive amounts of blood, deaths, and killing - but they were done aesthetically, and in a mood to suggest enjoyment rather then fear. When watching it you do not think "Jesus... fucking... christ." with your mouth open. You do not find it controversial. You do not turn it off because it's too hard to handle. It's safe, because it's unrealistic, and it's stylish. I would not even hesitate to let a kid around the age of 10 see this, as it's nothing too shocking.

On the other hand, we have Running Scared. While it may have slightly LESS gore, it does - in mood comparison - make Kill Bill look like Sesame Street. This is due to the nature of the film. Gritty, dark, realistic, and daring. It goes far and beyond with what it shows, and you might even begin to ask yourself "Should they be showing this?". I cannot state this more - The scene with the child-captors is one of the most shocking scenes in recent memory. Because it can happen, they were daring enough to put that in the film. The controversy of having a child witnessing all this, and going through all of this in one night is what makes it set apart from Kill Bill.

In the end, the mood does it.

What's the "EH?" for? :D

The Hole I saw a while back, and loved it. Again, for me it was the mood and the accents added to it. I don't know why. Thought it was good, liked all the characters, liked the entire plot to be honest. Not sure why Kiera is ashamed of it, it's good!

The Fly II:

I finally managed to stay awke for it this time. I seemed to have the knack of putting it on when I'm too tired and ended up narking out half way thru it. Nowhere near as good as its predecesor but still a pretty cool flick that I really enjoyed, it just missed the darkness the Cronenberg original had. But as far as sequels go it was decent.
