INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS ~ Magnum Opus


Tarantino does an immaculate job of balancing various genres of film-making and threading them into a mesmerizing and poignant period flick. It plays much like a Western only set in war torn France during the Nazi invasion. His writing is full of wit and intrigue and the performances, for the most part, are terrific. Christopher Waltz shows true genius in his performance combining humor, terror, and cunning vindictiveness. He deserves the academy award nomination, if not, the award itself. A must see film. Full of every element that makes you want to toss back some popcorn and be swept away by cinema. (by Rob Kolar)
