If you hadn’t guessed from the title, I just saw the latest installment from Tarantino.  Inglourious Basterds.  I have been waiting several years for this movie to come out.  Tarantino promised a war epic when Kill Bill was released.  Unfortunately, there were many distractions in the way (Rodriguez , Hostel, killer episode of CSI, parties in Iceland, etc… ).  Five years later, I get my movie.  Yet another classic tale of revenge.

Does anyone remember the ridiculous fight against the Nazi Invaders in Bedknobs in Broomsticks.  I thought nothing of it as a child.  But seeing the movie as an adult, it is a little disturbing.

Somehow I didn’t feel the same about Tarantino’s portrayal.  The absence of magic helped (Why would invisible knights need armour?  Couldn’t you just make them invincible and call it a day?).  Mostly it was the fact that he had the Basterds do unto the Nazis what they did to everyone else.  They had it comin’ to ‘em. Oh, and did anyone notice that Pitt has become more Clooney?

I highly suggest seeing this film on the big screen while you can.  Better yet, see it at the Alamo Drafthouse.  We all know how long it takes for the full director’s cut version of a Tarantino film to be released.  It took 10 years for Pulp Fiction.  I am still waiting for Kill Bill uncut (I saw it at the Drafthouse and it was phenomenal).  If anything, you should see the movie to find out who wins.
