films of 2009: INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS



(More of a personal re-cap than a review)



This film was quite anticipated, and was in the works for a long long time. Tarintino, having a good track record and a number of cult movies under his belt, like many of the other fans i expected ALOT from him - and my expectations were exceeded.

The film, was absolutley brilliant. To put it very simply: Its everything any tarinto fan would expect from the man himself, its quirky, its extremely violent, its obscene and very witty. Tarintinos story telling abilities are also at its best in this film, presenting it to us in chapters as he did with the kill bill Volumes, and throwing some out-landish and diverse characters in the mix.

Brad Pitt gives us a gritty and comical performance as Lt. Aldo Raine, which is met by Christoph Waltz' sinister and brutal portrayal of Col. Hans Landa.

The rest of the cast also give great performances, Eli Roth, Daniel Bruhl and B.J. Novak are all names worth remembering.

Other than what ive said, I couldn't really find a weak point in the whole movie, its just one of those films i enjoyed from start to finish.

9/10
