I must be in film heaven. Since when do I get to see two amazing movies in the theater practically back to back. "Distinct 9" and now "Inglorious Basterds". Basterds has completely surpassed my expectations. I have never been a huge Tarantino fan. Sure, Pulp Fiction is quite good but everything else he's done has been so-so in my book. This film is something totally different. Tarantino manages to approach typical scenes and completely break them away from the "rules". This film is NOT typical! The cast is top notch and even Pitt's ridiculous accent has a purpose. By far, Christoph Waltz' fantastic performance was the most unexpected. And when it comes to the soundtrack, It's easy to say that it makes this movie. The opening scene couldn't be better. All I can say is how dare you mature audiences choose to watch "GI Joe" over the Basterds!

I never thought that I would be this happy to see the "Halo" movie project fail. District 9 is by far the greatest sci-fi action film that I have had the pleasure to see in years. Everything is crafted with originality and enough imagination to have people watching over and over again. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see some alien guns destroy crap straight out of video game land. It's a thrill ride worth the watch, the buy, and the praise. Just a word to the wise, watch out for the people popping....
