Inglourious Basterds (2009)
clever funny and ambitious!
You say Quentin Tarantino and you think Pulp Fiction. Well not for me. Not now. This film was so good, so beautifully crafted, and so...grown up for want of a better word that I can only agree with Quentin's final line of the film: "this could be my masterpiece". So audacious and with something to say too.
I can only recommend the film. The performances are absolutely incredible and the suspense is like I've never seen before. Honestly, my heart was in my mouth. The lead actress is stunning and Brad Pitt's underbite and Italian accent - hilarious! Watch it. You will not be disappointed and you will most definitely be surprised at Tarantino's depth as a writer. Amazed. And in awe.
Beyond the Pole (2009)
A really great film
We watched this on DVD today (too hot to go out) and the whole family loved it!
It's not often you see a film that really stays with you but we were all talking about it right through dinner and my brother and his friends have already started quoting their favourite lines - a sure fire indicator of a cult hit if ever there was one!
Everyone loved Stephen Mangan and Rhys Thomas who are just the most wonderful friends in it (bickering their way across the ice was just hilarious and a bit like a dysfunctional marriage!) but personally my favourites were Rosie Cavaliero (not an actress I'd seen before) and Lars Arentz Hansen. These two were so truthful and funny I just loved watching them every time they came on screen. Real stars in the making (if they're not already - I don't know!!)
Also I have to say that the DVD extras just are lovely. The actors are so, so funny and the story of the making of it just so great. Thankyou!
