February 8, 2010An audacious take and a plausible, entertaining alternate history, Tarantino has gone Western with World War II and tells the story we all wish was true: Brad Pitt, doing his best John Wayne, rustles up a posse and takes down them damn Nazis... good movie, slow going early on but...( read more)

February 3, 2010Another Tarantino classic, a love letter to cinema. Fun to watch, stylistic and cool. Christoph Waltz is almost guaranteed to win the best supporting oscar this year for his movie stealing role as the 'jew hunter'.

February 2, 2010This was quite an entertaining ride. Christoph Waltz was brilliant, and it wasn't nearly as bloody as I was expecting.

January 7, 2010What can I say? This is simply more Tarantino goodness. The story is simple enough and the action isn't overwhelming, so most of my attention was directly on the all-star cast. All that clever dialogue wouldn't be of much use with some capable actors to deliver it.
Everyone was...( read more) -

I'm tempted to say Tarantino has done it again, but I doubt anyone has ever done anything like his dazzlingly original World War II movie, Inglourious Basterds. full review

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

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

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

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

Armond White, The New York Press
QT manipulates WWII horror into hip pornography -- Jewish revenge looks just like the sadism in Eli Roth's Hostel movie. Our political and moral responses are discombobulated. full review
August 17, 2009
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
The movie is an ungainly pastiche, yet on some wacked-out Jungian level it's all of a piece. 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.
