EXCERPT:

Let’s assume that you paid just enough attention in history class and that you know how Adolf Hitler eventually died, and you’re aware that it had nothing to do with crazy interconnected assassination plots staged by French Resistance cinephiles or a team of swaggering, American, bloodlust-crazed, working class Jews.

Then you can walk right into Quentin Tarantino’s sprawling, gory, tense, hilariously strutting vision of fact-implosion and skull-carving called “Inglourious Basterds” and not really worry too much about the million other bytes of movie-nerd information he’s machine-gun spraying all over you. You’ll understand that this is one man’s fantasy of how the Greatest Generation’s war could have ended and leave the theater afterward both grossed out and thoroughly entertained.

But that’s not all you get when you watch one of Tarantino’s movies...

Hey Warrenton theater:

man, you guys suck for not getting Inglourious Basterds.

I gotta blame it on that guy with the Elvis glasses.

just because he deserves to be blamed.

I need to get my license so I can see movies out of town.

Film scores and themes

I'm a sucker for a good soundtrack.

If you ever get bored one late night (like I am) or are in the need of a bit of an uplifting soundtrack, or just something for the background of whatever you're doing, be sure to give these a listen.

Mister Lonely by Patrick

If you are familiar with director Harmony Korine then you already know it's a strange movie.

The film is about a struggling Michael Jackson immitator who is invited to live in a commune of other celebrity immitators including Abe Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, The Pope, Sammy Davis Jr, Madonna, among others. It's absolutely hilarious and at times somewhat moving. All in all, a nice dreamy dramedy but it may take a few sittings.
