Can't wait for this to hit the screens. I will probably see it this weekend, crowds be damned. I've been on a WWII kick with Band of Brothers, so this movie s/b very satisfying.

Just found out Quentin Tarantino will be at Arclight midnight showing. Good thing I got my tickets just in time.

i'll prob hit a midnight screening of this (surprising that there are only 3 theaters in the state that are doing midnight screenings). I'm also surprised that this is only playing on one screen at the big theater by me, given its run time, and whos involved in the movie.

I can't wait to see this tomorrow. I took off some work for some vacation solely for this film. I'm also going to drive 4 hours to my hometown to watch it w/ my friends. I can't wait to discuss about it afterwards with a round of drinks.

I'm so excited for this. I love everything he has done.

James Berardinelli's 4-star review:
http://www.reelviews.net/php_review_...dentifier=1774 I have found over the years that If James B and Roger Ebert both love a movie, it's pretty much guaranteed it'll be good. |
Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
granted, aren't both of those 2 (and Peter Travers) all Tarantino fanboys who seem to give everything he does 4 stars
|
Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
Ebert didn't like Reservoir Dogs (initially at least) or Death Proof.
James Berardinelli gave Kill Bill vol 1 a 2.5 out of 4, Vol 2 got a 3 out of 4, and Jackie Brown got a 3 out of 4 as well. |

Is Regal not doing midnight shows?

Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
Just back from a screening in Zurich, Switzerland.
Love Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, really like Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown. Grindhouse, not so much so. The thing that went through my mind leaving the theater: there's been talk about him making this movie for 10 years or more, I would have thought the story could have been a lot more tight. Bloody nazis are not going to leave their top of the line nut jobs in a cinema with two lone guards at the door of Hitllers balcony. mel brooks did a better job on that in his remake of 'to be or not to be'. there just didn't seem to be any danger in the kino scene, other than from the incredibly well played col. hans landa. Christoph Waltz steals every scene he is in. Brad Pitt, great in Snatch and Fight Club, is not much more than a mustach and a thick accent here, one of which is good for some good chuckles. Took me some time to figure out that Eli Roth is not a relative of Tim Roth but the guy that wrote and directed 'Hostel'. Yeah, but he IS good with a baseball bat. With my two favorite critics both giving full 4 stars I will watch this one again at the cinemas. Picking the 5pm screening on a Thursday might not have been a great idee. The granny in the seat next to me seemed really disturbed by some scenes. Which made me feel bad for her. 3.5 out of 5, or 3 out of 4. The movie could easily lose a good 15 minutes. Why bring the British into this?? To be historically acurate... no!? |
Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
Looks like you might have to check with your local AMC for a midnight show. Regal is not running any of them (but they ran them for Funny People?) and even AMC is not running them everywhere.

Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
Just got back from a midnight showing. The film was great — not action-packed at all, aside from a few scenes, and the pacing was pretty good. Interesting to see Tarantino start to self-reference himself now. If you've liked a majority of his films, definitely go see this.

Re: Inglourious Basterds (Tarantino, 2009) The Reviews Thread
5 words. Tarantino is my fucking hero. he made a movie that was worth the almost 6 year wait since he first announced it. Violent as hell at certain points, lots of moments when the audienced cheered

About the movie theater scene Spoiler:
Brad Pitt's performance is that of a cartoon in the trailers, but in the context of the entire film it's very fitting. Especially when counterbalanced against Christoph Waltz' character's eloquence. |
