I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?

this movie is so amazing.
Inglourious Basterds - No rating - Surprisingly really amazing. I can't really score this movie, except to say that it was brilliant. Completely changing the events of WWII in such a way is kind of marvelous, something you'll never ever see in another WWII flick. It begins and ends almost perfectly. I was completely surprised, as I was not impressed by the previews I had seen of this movie. Christopher Waltz is amazing in this.

I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
Inglorious Basterds:
There was so much that I enjoyed about the film. Tarantino writes such distinct characters, but they have the tendency to digress in the same manner. There was more diversity in this film compared to Kill Bill, where The Bride, Bill and Elle seemed to have attended the same speech class ( I always cringe when Elle reads from her notepad).
There is a very interesting tone to the film and the performances that have been praised are well deserved, but I have to watch it a second time to really grasp Pitt's performance.

very obvious, lame jokes, mediocre acting, good enough bad guys for 2 stars

Inglourious Basterds - Q Tarantino
Could have been good but the focus on the terribly written french characters and some awful acting ruined it. I would have liked to see more of the "Basterds". Christoph Waltz was great in this though.
Satantango - Bela Tarr
One of the greatest films ever made, a true work of art. Over seven hours long but every second of it is beautifully crafted and mesmerizing. It takes a while to get used to the perculiar rythm but once past that you're in for a treat. Everybody who sees cinema as a form of art should see this once in their life.

The Inglourious Basterds - Enzo G. Castellari 8/10
I'm so curious about Q.Tarantino's new movie, so I figured I should see the one he got some inspiration from. I enjoyed it a lot, a dark A-team movie... with quite an anti-war message. I would definitely watch it again!
Pulp Fiction - Q. Tarantino 9/10
What's there to say? Just grand. I like Tarantino's styleI really dig the dialogues. And the music. And the jumping between points of view. And...
Just grand!

Ernest Scared Stupid! I haven't seen it recently, but I remember how often I watched it when I was a child.

inglorious basterds.... really liked it, good characters and I always love it when people speak their own language, I hate it when everybody speak English just because it's an American movie. the French and I love listening to German, a beautiful language. Good bad guys if you know what I mean...
I usually like Tarantino's movies.

Inglorious Basterds I liked it more than I thought I would. I do like Tarantino, and I'd forgotten how good he is at dialog. I don't care if they digress. The suspense. I felt that he really let the scene take its own time to develop. Personally I thought the acting was pretty good, but that Christoph Waltz was incredible and that he stole the show. 8/10
The Time-Traveler's WifeAnother pleasant surprise. Fairly well acted, the story is absorbing and touching. 7/10

I watch the same movies over and over again, every night. I choose new movies about twice a year. Some of the movies I watch, repeatedly, are "shawshank redemption", "ghost world", "royal tannebaums", "husbands and wives", "bridges of madison county", "kramer vs Kramer", "heartburn".
I alternate between these every night. It comforts me.
