Film review: Inglourious Basterds

Caught myself a guest gig doing a film review over at The DumbDrum.

OK, I asked and they said yes. Whatever.

Here's a sample of my take on Tarantino's latest.

This is a period piece so Tarantino can’t fall back on the jive-talking bad-muther-fucker routine. But that’s what keeps Basterds from being simple novelty (see “Death Proof”) and allows for a few surprises (like the totally moving opening scene). It’s heartening to see that Tarantino can do a genre-shift and keep it real (so to speak).

Read the whole thing here.

This should make at least one Famous Guest really happy.

Basterds

It was a really good flick. I keep seeing what happened to Hitler's face flash through my head.
