Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino’s high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds, a nominee for Best Picture Oscar. As war raged in Europe, a Nazi-scalping squad of American soldiers, known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” was on a daring mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Bursting with “action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue” Basterds is another Tarantino masterpiece with a crowd-pleasing revision to history.

We found ourselves laughing aloud at the over-the-top antics of the Basterds…and then, being shocked at ourselves upon absorbing the fact that those antics were savage and brutal as only Tarantino can do savagery and brutality. And, speaking of funny, savage and brutal…all in one sentence…the performance of Christoph Waltz, as the diabolically sinister and evil Nazi, was the only choice for Best Supporting Actor honors at the Oscars.

Turn off the phone, pop the popcorn, chill the beverage, get in the comfy sweats…you need to watch this perspective on war without interruption.
