Movie Reviews: Inglourious Basterds, etc.

I finally got to see Inglourious Basterds this weekend and loved it. It's set in Nazi occupied France in WWII and focuses on an elite group of Jewish American soldiers called the Basterds (led by Brad Pitt's character) who brutally kill and scalp Nazis. They eventually cross paths one fateful evening with a Jewish woman (hiding her identity) who runs a movie theater in Paris that is frequented by German soldiers. Together they change the course of history (if only!!). This is classic Tarantino and I highly recommend it to his fans. However, don't go see this movie if you don't like his other movies.

I also rented a bunch of stinkers lately. I highly do not recommend Employee of the Month (not funny), The Watchmen (WAY too long), Dream Girls (well made but boring), or Laddder 49 (predictable and boring).
