Inglorious Bastards

Being a big Tarantino fan I was psyched when the man himself announced, that his next movie may be in cinemas, at the next Cannes Festival. The flick is a WW2-movie called Inglorious Bastards, and he’s been working on it for more than a decade. We all know Tarantino is heavily inspired by his own favorite movies, and a Tarantino movie mixed with classics like The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, and Where Eagles Dare sounds extremely interesting to me. Anyway, a couple of movie blogs got a hold of an excerpt from the script and now I’m even more hyped. I’ll quote a bit of it, this is Lt. Aldo Raine, who may be played by Brad Pitt:

But I got a word of warning to all would be warriors.  When you join my command, you take on debit.  A debit you owe me, personally.  Every man under my command, owes me, one hundred Nazi scalps.  And I want my scalps.  And all y’all will git me, one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred Nazi’s or you will die trying.

Death Proof

Earlier this year I wrote a small post about Grindhouse, saying that I expected to rate it 10/10 and that it definitely would be the best movie of 2007. So far, the movie from this year I've rated highest is Hot Fuzz, with 7/10 (I'm still considering changing it to 8/10 though), and when I rate movies I very rarely hand out 10s, even though some movies probably have deserved it, because I feel like it's nice to have one grade exclusive for the movies I personally like most. Therefore I have a hard time handing out tens and at this point I've only given 10/10 to Amélie and Fight Club, a lot of people probably disagree but they are my top favorite movies. I could probably find more movies that I think deserve 10/10, but I find it kinda hard most of the time (12 Monkeys and Pulp Fiction are some of the movies that are pretty close to getting it).

Obviously I've never rated a movie with a 10/10 after only watching it once either, at this point you can probably see where I'm going; I've never in my entire life felt compelled to clap in a cinema, but I did after watching Death Proof. It's simply a masterpiece and I cannot believe how Tarantino can continue to create so incredibly great movies. The dialogue (of course), the gore, the action-stuffed scenes, the humor, it was all top notch. While watching it I was pretty certain I'd give it 9/10, when the movie was halfway done, but after the ending I had no choice but to rate it with the highest grade. It's just fucking awesome, and this was only the first part of Grindhouse! All hail Quentin Tarantino.

Death Proof: 10/10.

Grindhouse best movie of 2007

I managed to turn off my Xbox 360 and post a small entry. The full theatrical trailer for the Rodriguez/Tarantino project Grindhouse has been released, and I'm going to be disappointed if I rate it with anything less than 10/10 (well, let's say 9/10 just in case). Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Willis and Kurt Russel, how can this not be fantastic?
