Director: Quentin Tarantino

Cast: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Lucy Liu

Release Date: July 28, 2026

A Review By: Kevin Lovell

Release Rating: 7/10

Synopsis:

Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair unites Volume 1 and Volume 2 into a single, unrated epic — presented exactly as he intended, complete with a new anime sequence. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, left for dead after her former boss and lover Bill ambushes her wedding rehearsal, shooting her in the head and stealing her unborn child. To exact her vengeance, she must first hunt down the four remaining members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad before confronting Bill himself. With its operatic scope, relentless action, and iconic style, The Whole Bloody Affair stands as one of cinema’s definitive revenge sagas — rarely shown in its complete form, and now presented with a classic intermission.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary and available on 4K for the first time, Sing Street from filmmaker John Carney (Power Ballad, Once) remains as charming and relevant as ever as a coming-of-age tale about escape, imagination, and young love. Set in 1980s Dublin, this semi-autobiographical story is told through the eyes of 14-year-old Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), who seeks refuge from family tension as he struggles to fit in at a tough public school. Enter über-cool aspiring model Raphina (Lucy Boynton). Completely smitten, Conor aims to win her heart by inviting her to star in his band’s music video — with one small problem: there is no band. Forming a band with some new lads, the group pours themselves into writing songs and shooting videos, along the way discovering the power of music to uplift, empower, and create community.
