So people are doing top 10 lists and tell you what they thought of the movies that came out this year (or anything else for that matter that came out this year).. and I know no one is waiting for my opinion, but I thought it would be fun to share my views on these dark chilly interwebs right now. Besides, my list of movies isn't very long. Partly ( Read more... )

I saw the Basterds yesterday for the first time and think I agree mostly with you there. There's a weird disconnect between the two storylines. You have the amazing Basterds stuff (HUGO STIGLITZ, man I exploded when that came up), and then suddenly the Shoshanna stuff. And was it me, or did those shots seem less professional too? I dunno, weird. Aside from the occasional brilliant Tarantino shots (putting on lipstick), it's just not very good. So it's a weird half-film as far as I'm concerned. Not as overall brilliant as Kill Bill.

Then again, the PERFORMANCES the movie gets from especially Hans the Jew Hunter... oh my goodness!

I loved Hugo Stiglitz's reactions in the café/cellar scene, and then in the end this explosion of frustration that just erupts all over his victim was just fantastic.
Funny, I enjoyed that lipstick scene as well but I agree that I simply wasn't all that into it in the Shoshanna story either. It was more enjoyable the second watch though, perhaps because I anticipated it now and paid more attention to everything that was going on in her scenes.
Hans Landa/Christoph Waltz was indeed incredible and it's because of highlights like these that I have a hard time rating this movie.
