A Logical Follow-Up to “Inglourious Basterds”

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

Watch Holy Land Hardball. Baseball comes to the Middle East. Why not?

This is a great new film - an important film - on SnagFilms.com. Watch it by clicking here.

Kosher Porn

That is the best description I have heard of Inglourious Basterds. It is the best worst film I have ever seen.

I wish I was in the pitch meeting with the Weinstein Bros. I can see it now…”So we kill Hitler. The Jews win and Brad Pitt stars.”

I loved the filmmaking. The gore was kept to a minimum. The acting was ironic, funny and not over the top and the pacing was good although some scenes dragged on and on.

The ending is spectacular. It is another film a la Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill that people will talk about and feel is influential from here on out. The film felt like the last big film of the summer to me, too. Go and enjoy it. Experience kosher porn.
