Uma Strikes Again!

By: Brian Thomas
Date: Tuesday, August 10, 2004


Regular readers know of our enthusiasm for the adventures of Beatrix Kiddo, so our spotlight item this week should come as no surprise. You may be wondering if we're giving away copies of the DVD, just as we did on the release of KILL BILL Volume 1. Yes we are. We've got six DVDs to give away, courtesy of Buena Vista and the Psychotronic Film Society. Head on over to www.psychotronic.info for details on how to enter.
