Inglourious Basterds, 2009 (Grade D-)

Director:  Quentin Taratino
Awards?  .. Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and nominated for other awards
 Stars: Brad Pitt, Christopher Waltz, Melanie Laurent, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Daniel Bruhl; Til Schweiger, B J Novak, Samm Levine, Paul Rust, Mike Myers.

sez says-- Using hatred for Nazi as an excuse to ramp up the violence is par for the course for Taratino. I wonder if he could even make a movie that anyone would watch if he abstained from being grotesque--he seems to only want to outdo his last spree of blood and gore. He doesn't ring my bell. I watched this to see the Christopher Waltz's award winning performance --I was told it was really good--and it is. So this is not a total loss --and actor with Waltz's skill has now been recognized --so we will probably get to see him again. Hopefully not in another Taratino flick. Being a 'bad boy' is nothing more than boring and doesn't produce good stories. (Grade D-)
