'Kill Bill Vol. 2'
![An adrenaline shot to the movie heart, soul and mind, Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 2" is a blast of pure pop pleasure. The second half of Tarantino's long-gestating epic, "Vol. 2" firmly lays to rest the doubts raised by "Vol. 1" as to whether the filmmaker had retained his chops after years of silence and, as important, had anything to offer beyond pyrotechnics and bloodshed. Tarantino does have something to say, although most of what he does have to say can be boiled down to two words: Movies <I>rock</I>.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-04/12252148.jpg "An adrenaline shot to the movie heart, soul and mind, Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill Vol. 2\" is a blast of pure pop pleasure.

'Masculine Feminine'
![When Jean-Luc Godard's "Masculine Feminine" opened in Los Angeles 38 years ago last month, it seemed as new as tomorrow's headlines while exploring a theme as old as time — the essential enigma that a woman can be to a man. Headlines, and hairstyles, may change, but this witty and tender 1966 gem remains as timeless and fresh as ever.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-02/16240032.jpg "When Jean-Luc Godard's "Masculine Feminine\" opened in Los Angeles 38 years ago last month, it seemed as new as tomorrow's headlines while exploring a theme as old as time — the essential enigma that a woman can be to a man.

'The Ladykillers'
![Since the release of their neo-noir "Blood Simple" in 1984, Joel and Ethan Coen have kept the flames of movie love burning. In one after another of their features, the brothers have revisited classic film genres and bygone eras, carving out a signature filmmaking style with great visual flair and their trademark ironic deadpan. From the evidence, the brothers have a passion for film noir, gangster movies and screwball comedies, with a large place in their cold, cold hearts reserved for Preston Sturges. If the Coens loved people as much as they loved movies, they could be put up for sainthood.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-03/11967097.jpg "Since the release of their neo-noir "Blood Simple\" in 1984, Joel and Ethan Coen have kept the flames of movie love burning.

'XX/XY'
![The independent drama "XX/XY" opens with the sort of hot stuff for which Penthouse Forum and French movies were invented. After crashing a party, a fledgling animator named Coles (Mark Ruffalo) lands in bed with two of Sarah Lawrence's finest. The object of his lust is Sam (Maya Stange), one of those girls with melting eyes whom men pursue like heat-seeking missiles, while the object of his opportunism is her best friend, the querulous Thea (Kathleen Robertson). The three fall into bed only to have their erotic expectations dashed.
