One thang and thang only...kill the nazis

I have to say I am a little biased towards Quentin Tarantino, I grew up admiring what a phenomenon 'Pulp Fiction' was.I watched it when I was in post hi-skool and it is still written in my top 3 film of all time.

So naturally every subsequent QT flick was met with high expectations.  Unfortunately, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol 1&2 and Grindhouse has not really lived up to the billing. Then i heard all the good vibe about his latest project Inglourious Basterds which tell the tale of a group of Jewish-American soldiers chosen specifically to kill Nazis (read my stoked post back in May here).

Lt. Aldo Raine and his basterds

The film makes no apologies, asks for no forgiveness, it's a no holds barred assault on the senses. Tarantino doesn't care if he offends, if he steps all over stereotypes and clichés, this is film making at it purest.

and btw, for my money Christian Waltz deserves an oscar nomination for his potrayal as the Nazi "Jew Hunter" SS Colonel Hans Landa

Colonel Hans Landa, best QT character since Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield

What is your favorite John Hughes movie? Bonus points: Share your favorite quote from that movie.

a tie between FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF!! and THE BREAKFAST CLUB.

No bonus points for me. I kinda dig Prof Razak Mohaideen's films (masterpieces such as Anak Mami the movie, Mami Jarum, Cinta Fotokopi dan yang sewaktu dengannye) after that

Earlier this week at the Cannes Film Festival, World War II epic Inglorious Bastards was screened. Reviews almost immediately start to pop up, some coming down hard on it and others praising it to high heavens (read what the critics have to say here)

Inglorious bastards
