Summer blockbuster season is a perfect time for the movie fans to show their true colors. For some, the appeal strikes with a comic book inspired action movie, as in Iron Man 2. For others, it might be a laugh-out-loud high concept comedy, as in Get Him to the Greek. But for cult geeks like [...]

Inglourious Basterds Directed by Quentin Tarantino Normally I approach a new Tarantino film with caution because more often than not, due to his fame and talent, his movies are severely hyped in the months leading up to their release; they are promoted with so much zeal and accompanied by so many industry buzz-words that I [...]
The unlucky numbered 13th edition of the Fantasia Film Festival turned out to be a lucky year after all. With it’s diverse line-up of high selection standards, the festival attracted more than 90 000 fans this year and saw 40% of its 195 screenings completely sold out. With such eminent titles that had previously premiered [...]
Inglourious Basterds Directed by Quentin Tarantino Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino`s Pierrot Le Fou, his 8 1/2, a movie about cinema and quite possibly his most sophisticated entertaining and exhilarating film to date. Basterds won’t cater to a mainstream crowd and although it has every Tarantino trait that he could possibly include, none of those trademarks [...]

The New French trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds is quite an improvement for the American. Mostly (in my opinion) because there is less Brad Pitt. But the editing is sharper, it’s funnier and we get a better idea of the large scope of the story. American audiences seem to be getting sold the action [...]
Looks like Tarantino isn’t the only filmmaker working on grindhouse Nazi war films. Director and horror fanatic Shaun Robert Smith is in development on his next feature, The Fourth Reich, a terrifying adventure built on the Nazi human experiments during the war. Shaun’s runaway success of The Soldier, his 2007 award winning short attracted some [...]
A new trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds makes it on to the web. The film received a lukewarm reception at Cannes (some even considering it Tarantino’s worst film by far). It currently getting a huge reedit with the Harvey Weinstein pressuring him to scrap at least 40 minutes from the original 2 hour 40 [...]
Pixar’s Up and Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell are looking to be two of the years best reviewed films. Up currently has a 96% on the tomato meter with over 45reviews (If you consider the diatribe by Almond White a review). Drag Me to Hell has a 94% with 38 reviews. Both appear to [...]
Quentin Tarentino’s new film Inglorious Basterds was screened to critics with a mixed reception. It has its fans but has plenty of detractors. Most agree that the film is an entertaining romp but way too talky. “Inglourious Basterds is great fun to watch, but the movie isn’t entirely engaging. And it is defiantly an art [...]
