Review: Inglourious Basterds

Review: Inglourious Basterds

Love him or hate him, Quention Tarantino’s new movie finally hits theaters this weekend. Is it worth your time and money? Is it shit or is it shinola? (And what the hell is shinola?) Do I like it, love it, or loathe it? I can’t reveal the answer here, you have to read the review. But how about a little hint… it may just be Tarantino’s best movie yet. (And notice I didn’t say “since pulp Fiction.”)

Raiders + Rocketeer + Private Ryan = Captain America

Raiders + Rocketeer + Private Ryan = Captain America

WTF: Nazis on Christmas

WTF: Nazis on Christmas

When you think of Christmas, what comes to mind? Is it visions of sugar plums dancing in your head? Is it the thought of your favorite holiday movie being aired 57 times on television? Apparently for Hollywood, Nazis come to mind when they think of Christmas.

New ‘Valkyrie’ Trailer Has More Action… Still No Accents

New ‘Valkyrie’ Trailer Has More Action… Still No Accents

From production issues, legal troubles, and release date changes to the blind bashing against anything with Tom Cruise’s name attached to it… the buzz on Valkyrie has been non-existent. United Artists hopes to change that with the release of a new, action-packed and more stylized trailer.
