Inglourious Basterds: Tarentino Perfects Video Game Cinema

When I heard Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" was not only inspired by Italian Grindhouse (Quel maledetto treno blindato from 1978), but also by "Wolvenstein 3-D", I thought that he had finally gone off the deep end. With the lack luster response at Cannes, it led me to thing that maybe he took his ability to find charm in all genres too far.

These fears were nothing more than paranoid American beliefs that there was nothing worth going to the theaters to see this summer. "Inglourious Basterds" rewards the faithful fans of Tarantino with his most brilliantly directorial effort to date.

And as a David Bowie fan, you have to appreciate Quentin finally putting the theme to "Cat People" (sorry, that movie used the riff pretty well) to good use.
