Kill Bill, Part 2: As good as the critics say. The violence varied from the first movie: less of it, but much crueler and less cartoonish. I particularly liked the sequences with the kung fu master. I keep looking for deeper themes in Tarantino’s movies, but I think that for the most part they’re just surface: cool action, badass characters, tributes to movies and entertainment overall. Although the little girl will be screwed up– but that’s basically just a nod to “Shogun Assassin.”

Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale: Most of your wierd-ingredient beer tends to be very complex in flavor, often to its detriment. This is tangy and crisp, with a color just a little more red than most red ales I’ve encountered. Would definitely buy again.

Cambridge, One: owned by the same folks who do Audobon and the Miracle of Science, and filled with the same angular slate tables that scream “no toddlers, please,” this one does ultra-thin gourmet pizza and fancy salad. A very short menu prepared well and quickly, an open kitchen, and truly delicious spicy breadsticks. Try the arugula and bresaola salad, or the potato and green-onion pizza.
