CLASSIC REVIEW: ‘Adaptation’

Part of a continuous series of classic film reviews from some of the most eloquent, hilarious film critics from yesterday and today.

I started this “classic reviews” collection to highlight “classic reviews.”

Now, I’m thinking I started it just so I could post Stephen Hunter reviews to Cribbster.

CLASSIC REVIEW: ‘Kill Bill: Vol. 1′

The first in a continuous series of classic film reviews from some of the most eloquent, hilarious film critics from yesterday and today. That sounds really official. But it’s really just self-indulgent.

This is one of my favorite reviews ever. By Stephen Hunter, a retired film critic who started at The Sun in Baltimore and eventually moved to The Washington Post where he won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 2003. For several years, from high school through college, Hunter was the primary reason I purchased the paper on Fridays. His reviews were entertaining, often hilarious and brilliantly written.
