REVIEW
I know it is very surprising to find a “non” Quentin Tarantino believer out there but after watching his lastest film Inglorious Bastards my faith has been restored , so much so in-fact that I am going to have myself a mini ‘ Tarantino movie marathon just to catch up on what I’ve been missing ?
Tarantino is better known for movies such as ; Grindhouse , From Dusk Til Dawn , Four Rooms , Sin City and Death Proof.
His lastest film INGLORIOUS BASTARDS is in keeping with true Tarantino black comedy /slasher style ,
I was invoked by the incredible tension and anticipation this film conveyed right from the very moment of the opening scene and throughout this films duration I was so covinced amused and repulsed by the unfolding events that were transpiring that I felt I was emotionally sharing the anxiety, empathy and humour being conveyed through each and every performance
Not only does this film offer gruesome portions of contemptible and repulsive violence in true Tarantino style but it also mixes up and confuses your emotions in synchronicity with injections of incredible humour and visual style
INGLORIOUS BASTARDS features a brilliant cast such as the likes of Brad Pitt ( Lt .Aldo Raine ) , Mike Myers ( General Ed Fenech ) Julie Dreyfus ( Francesca Mondino ) Rod Taylor (Winston Churchill ) just to name a few accomponied by a superb storyline that is backed up by incredible performances, this film will defiantly leave you wanting more …
I highly recommend INGLORIOUS BASTARDS
I rate it 10/ 10

Although a work of fiction….based on fact…. I was thoroughly entertained by this film. It has an engrossing masterful screenplay.Tarantino stirred my emotions while making so many insightful comments on the human psyche. From the SS officers visit to the farm ;to the stand off in the pub…to the “Carrie” inspired scene(I won’t give it away) it was one of the most engossing 2.5 hours I’ve spent in a cinema in a very long time. It was well acted by all…a tribute to the passionate directing.
This is the great movie. Tarantino always makes a different movies. This movie is is special too.
If you can like this movie then it pains me to wonder what you consider bad. Christopher Hitchens got it right: sitting through it for him was like “sitting in the dark having a great pot of warm piss emptied very slowly over your head.” The one part of your review I agree with is “gruesome portions of contemptible and repulsive violence.” Indeed, though how you see this as something positive is beyond me.
