Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino can do no wrong in my opinion. I may be a huge fanboy, but this guys just continues to deliver with each and every film. To be honest, this was not my favorite of all of him movies, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it! Brad Pitt was great, though not in it as much as I thought he would be. Christoph Waltz, who played Nazi Col. Hans Landa was amazing!!!! That guy made this movie what it was! Diane Kruger was terrific and movie star, Bridget Von Hammersmark, and Eli Roth and the rest of the supporting cast were also really good. Cameo voiceovers were an added bonus for fans of Tarantino’s other flicks. Great camera work and music accompanied by insightful dialogue and one hell of a journey through Nazi occupied France leaves you with your fill of entertainment from start to finish. The use of subtitles throughout the film, though a pain in the ass to keep up with at times, still played a very important role. If you like movies, and/or hate Nazi’s, then you NEED to see this movie! If you don’t, then The Bear Jew might just come after you… Yeah, that’s right, The Bear Jew. So go see it!

I give Inglourious Basterds a 9 outta 10!

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Just like the books, the Harry Potter films get longer and more impressive every time. Though this installment didn’t have as much action as I had hoped, I was still impressed, and was thoroughly entertained. The cast, as usual was amazing and the visual effects were great, especially Helena Bonham Carter and Jim Broadbent as Professor Slughorn. There were a few comedic moments that really made it a lot of fun and kept my attention while the plot of the main storyline was more serious, and for some people, maybe a bit too dry. I know it’s nearly impossible to adapt an entire novel into an hour and a half movie, but with all things considered, they still did a good job. With one more book to adapt (into two movies) left to be released, there is just that much more to look forward to as well. If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out, it’s a fun ride!

I give Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince an 8 outta 10.
