i'm curious too. i was kind of disappointed with kill bill, so i don't know what to expect. but i'm very interested to see christoph waltz's performance in any case.

district 9 sounds pretty interesting too.

Yeah, Kill Bill was really a downtrip. I slept through most of part one and decided it to be one of the worst flicks I ever saw. But then my girlfriend at the time (who was a big fan of KB) begged me to see part two aswell and somehow it cleared the picture of KB #1 somewhat, but still I think it´s a poor film.

funny to hear that, because i used to have a friend who absolutely adored kill bill, made me come to see part two in the theater in the opening day.
actually i thought part1 was somehow bearable , it was part2 where i fell asleep (especially the final scenes where the protagonist finally meets bill). to me it was a complete let down.
i think it was a bad idea to split the movie in two parts and release them separately. it would have been better if some material had been cut and everything put into one single movie.
but still i think it wouldn't have been really that good.

I saw the Bastards recently.  Not Taratino's best work, but how do you top Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs?  It's certainly better than his latest films.  Christopher Waltz is the real star of the movie, easily stealing the spotlight away from Pitt.  Wonderful performance there as the "Jew Hunter".  He's sure to be nominated for an Oscar.

Scent of A Woman - Al Pacino and, Chris O'Donnell from 1992. Al Pacino with his portrayal of the blind Colonel Slade is just brilliant.

And The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman from 2007.

I´ll guess You mean BastErds, because Inglorious BastArds is the Italian warflick from 1977 that Tarantino thinks so high of. The original flick, from where he gets the idea is a very violent film (giving the premisses of the late 70´s) but it has got an incredible set of requisite and the shootings of the sceneries are very impressive. As an overall verdict I could easilly say that The Inglorious Bastards from 1977 is one of the best flicks I´ve seen about the second world war and it is easilly understandeble that Tarantino wanted to do a version of his own, given the truth that he really liked this film when he saw it.

for such a big hollywood production, i was really positively surprised by this. i liked the environmental/racial themes in brought up. it made cutting (or should i say gunning) down trees and destroying the natural environmental look really stupid  - which it how it should look like too.
i wish people going to see this movie would also learn from it, see the parallels to our world.

not to mention it is really visually stunning. the creatures seem very real, the glowing nighttime forest with that huge gas giant hanging overhead just makes you wish you could be there.
the flying sequences were awesome, very well done (with most other CGI i've seen so far, trying to make the movement of wings look natural usually fails).
CGI has really made huge progress in just a few years.

District 9
that was a good one.


not really a recommendation.... anyway:
i recently went to see the new robin hood movie by ridley scott.

'Robin Hood' Trailer 2 HD

i'm really pretty disappointed, i expected so much more from scott. he's always been an interesting director, his very first film 'the duellists' is still one of my favorites. but this one's really not worth it.

i think russel crowe was a totally wrong person for the leading role in robin hood. the script could have been sort of interesting but it wasted all the good ingredients. especially the supporting roles didn't get any room to develop, all "the merry men" hardly even noticed.
the only good thing in the film was cate blanchett.

I just re-watched "What About Bob?" to get into a summer mood :-D This movie  always seems to crack me up. Here is one of my favourite clips from the movie

i only watched the trailer and this is exactly what i thought about the movie: scott disappointing again, russel's ordinary performance, no challenge and no point making this.
