Inglorious Basterds

Brad Pitt d/Tarantino

I expected junk with this one and I got it but I also got an entertaining 2 1/2 hours too. Call it good junk.

At first I was put off by the distortion of history but after a while I realized it didn't really matter. Structured as a series of slowly developing set pieces - each almost independent of the other. It's a form he's used before (Pulp Fiction) and works well this time at creating a periodic sense of tension.

Very high production values...he has a lot of money to work with now so sets/props are first rate. Pure, violent entertainment...perfect for teenaged boys.
