masterpiece

the films of quentin tarantino are rarely a disappointment. even
death proof, who most people underestimate, is a truly remarkable
film in so many ways.

it's been awhile since our last viewing of one of our favorite films
of 2009, so last night we watched inglourious basterds and
enjoyed every one of the 153 minutes. the opening sequence is a
perfectly executed set up, as is the last moment, as lieutenant aldo
raine refers to the newly cut swastika on ss colonel hans landa's
forehead as his masterpiece.

he's been chewed out before. no doubt.

(we also think the classic 70's look of this poster released for the
italian cinema couldn't be better.)
