Pam Grier stars as Foxy Brown, who is... well... Foxy Brown. I had always assumed she was like a professional killer or something, but nope: she's just cool as hell all the time. She lives in a cartoon world and kicks the ass of cartoon baddies. Mostly dumb fun. (3/5)

Utae and Aiko attend an all-girl private school and are constantly tormented by the embodiment of Christianity, patriarchy, westernization, and homophobia. The plot is little more than a simple movement from one incredibly distressing scene of sexual exploitation to another. (2.5/5)

Ralph Fiennes gives a performance which, while maybe not nuanced, is quite spectacular. The zombies *as zombies* take a step into the background- and I don't miss them- to make room for "The Jimmies". Now if only we could move on from 80's needle drops. (3.5/5)

First time seeing a film from a genre I'd hitherto known only through parodies. Enjoyed the soundtrack far more than the actual story, though I would have liked to hear even more new songs instead of old ones repeated. I appreciated this more as a time capsule than as a movie. (3/5)

Truly incredible. A must-watch movie continually alternating between characters, cinematic forms, and tones; held together by painterly, expressionistic compositions. I haven't seen the other films in this series but did not feel lost at all. (4.5/5)
