Inglourious Basterds = fantastic.

it was told in order, so Gloat might even like it.

Okay, check this out..

I ams SOOOO F"ING DONE with the GD Holocaust. Done with it.

I am not watching any more depressing Holocaust movies, engaging in Holocaust discussions, looking at Holocaust pictures, etc, etc. I am sick to death of beating this dead horse with the intention of proving just how horrible we are. It's pointless because history shows we haven't learned much from it anyway.

It was BAD. Got it. Really, I do. I totally understand that it was bad.

The last Holocaust film I have and will ever see is The Pianist, and I am not ever going to sit in front of a screen and subject myself to any more anguish and misery like that again.

This goes for any 'Man's Inhumanity Towards Man' film. Hotel Ruwanda ruined my night... the lady got no tail for making me sit through that one. If any film is going to feature people dying, it better be because a superhot Size 5 athletic chick is brandishing lots and lots of high-powered weaponry at them.

Done with the Holocaust. No more.

"An Unfinished Life", with Robert Redford, Jennifer Lopez,and Morgan Freeman is very good. It came out in 2005, but I saw it for the first time last night. Beautiful scenery, good story, great acting...

 

Saw District 9 over the weekend, and really enjoyed it.

I think it really helped the film that it wasn't flashy looking, and the actors were all no-names. While the previews provided a background, the story definitely took a turn that I wasn't expecting, and I enjoyed it.

Very curious to see if they end up making a sequel. Could be good, could be a terrible dropoff. I'd only see it if Jackson stayed on board.

That was probably the best movie that I've seen this year though, all around.

 

I will double that post. One of the best movies I have seen all year!

 

Well Brad Pitt usually picks good scripts, so I actually think it may be a watchable Tarantino flick.

 

:ha: Didn't mean to ruffle the feathers.

 

being a huge movie watcher i have been constantly picked on by friends for not having seen pulp fiction and reservoir dogs.

So finally got to watching them, and don't kill me when i say this but...

reservoir dogs: surprisingly disapointing, but still a good movie. 7/10

pulp fiction on the other hand, brilliant! 10/10

 

I will never understand what people see in Pulp Fiction. Other than cool little 1 liners by Samuel L Jackson.
