Inglorious Basterds (2009)


I went to the movies today to see Brad Pitt in the new Quentin Tarantino movie entitled "Inglorious Basterds" which is about a group of soldiers that go on a mission to do one simple thing and thats to kill Nazis. For those that know Tarantino movies, there is a lot of dialouge but don't be discouraged by that because the movie is very funny and Brad Pitt does an excellent job. There is another story that goes on as well about a girl whose family is killed by Nazis and so she is on a mission for revenge. Much like Tarantino's style there usually is more than one story that goes on and it all comes together in the end. Brad Pitt (Seven, Fight Club) plays Lt. Aldo Raine, a redneck from Tennessee who is charge of a group of outcasted Jews, a German soldier, and Eli Roth (Grindhouse, Hostel). The movie also stars Christoph Waltz (Jacob, Catherine The Great) who plays Col. Hans Landa, a man that is hired by Hitler to find Jews in France. This movie features a lot of European actors like Mélanie Laurent as runaway Jew Shosanna, Dianne Kruger (Troy, National Treasure) as legendary German actress Bridget Von Hammersmark, Daniel Brühl (The Bourne Ultimatum) as war hero Fredrick Zoller, and Till Schweiger (Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Driven) as Nazi soldier turned Basterd Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz. The movie also features brief cameos from the likes of Mike Myers (Waynes World, Shrek) as a general and Samuel L. Jackson as a narrator. Like I said before I thought this movie was terrific even though it was two and the half hours long. Four And The Half Stars Out Of Five
