Exactly right. I saw this same behavior in the local movie reviewer here in Houston. "The Passion" was so terrible with its violence ... he gave it an F grade in his review. But "Kill Bill" which (as I have read) is non-stop blood and gore in a "stylized fashion" was swell. Oh, boy. Of course you can guess, "Kill Bill" got an A from this same reviewer. Nth degree hypocrisy.

Fox News' film critic, Roger Friedman, was beside himself about the violence in The Passion until Mike Gallagher last night asked him about his rapturous review this past summer of "Kill Bill", the Quentin Tarantino film filled with blood, gore, endless murders, rapes and mindless violence. Friedman responded that this was just "cartoonish" violence that was entertaining and that no one would believe it as opposed to the "graphic, all too real violence" of Ths Passion. Roughly translated, what Friedman really meant is: "I can't stand films that are made by conservatives, which are attended in droves by middle America, and which track the literal truth of the Bible".

No matter how many reviews I read about KILL BILL, which I had the misfortune of seeing, I can't, for the life of me, figure out ANYTHING that was good about it, let alone GENIUS as it's been referred to. I like Tarrantino. Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies, but Kill Bill is just plain STUPID.
