Quentin Tarantino, sigh.

Why can't Tarantino just MAKE A FILM? Ingourious Basterds (seriously, that spelling) would be a good, solid piece of work if it were made by someone else. Get rid of the spelling, remove the wacky "anachronistic" soundtrack, get rid of the out-of-place interludes, the annoying freeze-frames, Eli Roth and Mike Myers, trim it down to 100 minutes max, stop working in chapters because it just doesn't hang together and form a cohesive whole, and you would be left with a really rather interesting, entertaining, tight film. But this is just... messy. It's like, yeah I get it Quentin, it's "art", it's weird, it's out there, it's what you do. But it just isn't good enough. Stop it, please.

Christop Waltz is priceless!

Christoph Waltz hits every single note as a sleazy fear monger empowered by the SS to hunt down Germany's foes! Tarantino casts his usual unique dialogue, and twists both proper spelling and history to suit his comic book mentality of the black and white interpretations of good and evil, and that's O.K. Where else can Brad Pitt's bad and juvenile John Wayne impersonation be tolerated for three hours?

Tarrentino is simply amazing.

He may not be dishing out one blockbuster after another, releasing one off-beat movie inside one decade (in which Cinema and tastes transition from one generation to the next)... But when he DOES display his art, it is pure, unbridled joy. That is what it needs to be cherished for. No more no less. Such is the tale of Inglourious Basterds. It was to me his best work after Pulp Fiction. And to the the connoisseur of his works, this movie too grows on you with each successive viewing. Like Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, deep down, really has no plot. And like the former, the plot just doesn't matter, as the thrill in the movie lies in the dialogues and chemistry between the actors during (seemingly) mundane bits of smalltalk. However, unlike Pulp Fiction, this movie delivers a first. T...
