November 18, 2009"Once upon a time in Nazi occupied France..."
In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds so...( read more) -
November 17, 2009Beyond bad. Not even much fun to poke out of it. Mélanie Laurent's great however.
Post scriptum:
When I left the theater and wrote this I thought it would be evident for any one that this film was plain bad. But turns out it ain't, many of my friends actually quite enjoyed it. S...( read more) -
November 11, 2009Time will tell if this is truly Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece, but in the very least it detracts nothing from his reputation as one of the most unique and talented American directors in modern film. What could have been a zany action picture is nearer a triumph of arthouse cine...( read more)

November 8, 2009"You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, Business is a-boomin'."
Its been a while since I watched anything with subtitles, so my eyes were a bit tired :) but otherwise o.k., which I'm glad for because this is not a...( read more) -
November 3, 2009Inglourious Basterds disappointed me more so than any film in recent memory. This was mainly because, as individual scenes, the film is fantastic. There's no faulting the cinematography, demonstrating Tarantino's best use of colour and lighting. The dialogue is wildly enthralling...( read more)

November 22, 2009QT's best, most involving, most assured work to date. Pitt owns the dialogue and really runs with it. I got to say, I had a hard time imagining him in a Taraintino flick, but damned, I think this is some of his best acting (his best will always be Meet Joe Black), but the really ...( read more)

November 22, 2009Tarantino cant be touched he is one of the chosen few directors who can make a movie so incredible. No one else can make you feel the way one of his movies makes you feel, and you will never laugh at violence more in your life than you do in a tarantino movie. Everything about th...( read more)

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Will Basterds polarize audiences? That's a given. But for anyone professing true movie love, there's no resisting it. full review
August 21, 2009
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The picture contains all the things his fans like about Tarantino -- the wit, the audacity, the sudden violence -- but this movie's emotional core and bigness of spirit are new. full review
August 21, 2009
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times
Whirled around the floor of a story that goes absolutely nowhere, contains no human verities, has no significant heft as historical drama, yet still proves, now and then, an entertaining piece of Pop ... full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Amongst all the filmmakers working today, no one inspires more passionate discussion, debate and analysis than Quentin Tarantino. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Inglorious Basterds is an entertainment but an uneasy one; it represents 153 minutes of bravura stalling, after which its creator loses interest and walks away. full review
August 20, 2009
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Tonally schizoid and rife with anachronisms (a David Bowie song on the sound track, out-of-era vernacular), Tarantino's Third Reich folly is utterly exasperating. full review
August 20, 2009
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Something close to an ideal Tarantino flick, an impertinent and often tasteless epic that rewrites WII history as a fairy tale for gonzo genre kicks. full review
August 20, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he's the real thing, a director of quixotic delights. full review

August 30, 2009Friendship is not a game to play, It is not a word to say, It doesn't start on March and ends on May, It is tomorrow, yesterday, today and everyday.

August 29, 2009Inglourious Basterds takes a genre, which you no doubt know so well as there are so many different war movies and does something new and original with it. Tarantino fakes right and he goes left, fakes left and goes right, just when you think you have a pattern figured out he does something completely different. Thats what this fairy-tale is all about. Taking what you know and making it funny, violent and dramatic. Awesome movie.

August 25, 2009This was the worst movie from any genre that I've ever watched. Even those handycam movies shot in somebody's back garden with a bunch of beer guzzling friends are better than this dreck. Yeah, like all America needs right now is another film that makes a mockery out of history and let's them think that they were solely responsible for winning WWII. As if they were even there in the first place! Utter crap from start to finish.

August 23, 2009lol, i pronounce it inn-glow-ree-us bass-turds.

February 14, 2009You know what? I thunk Mike Myers might pleasently surprise us. He is good in some of his earlier comic roles (Austin Powers for example) and maybe he can pull of serious. But knowing Tarantino, he will probably be given a funny character, as most of his films have one.
And I can't wait to see Cloris Leachman. She was excellent in the Mel Brooks spoofs and was good in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents. -
