Inglourious Basterds

The long awaited Quentin Tarantino movie. It is set in Nazi occupied France during WWII. A group of Americans, led by Aldo (Brad Pitt) known as the Basterds ambush Nazis and kill them viciously. There is terror within the Nazi camps. The Basterds disguise themselves as Nazis to get into their company. Diane Kruger plays a German actress who conspires to help the Basterds kill the top men - Hitler and Gobbels at a Nazi film premiere. The ending would be spectular if it was true. Good performances by Brad and Diane.

The Pursuit of Happyness

Based on a true story of a salesman down on his luck, who's wife leaves him because they are broke and out on the street. He does everything he can to provide for his son, even taking anunpaid interinship to create a better life for them. It is sweet as Will is really Jayden's dad. The scene in the men's room is heartbreaking. Be ready for teary eyes.

Public Enemies

Gangster movie set in the 1930s. John (Johnny) is a notorious bank robber who escapes jail and evades the police. Hoover sets up the new FBI with Christian Bale leading the agency to hunt down John. Very violent but exciting. My favourite scenes are the scene in the theatre when the FBI commerical comes on and where John walks into the police station and wanders into the investigation room. You get to see two great actors together - Johnny and Christian.
