Movie Reviews: Inglourious Basterds
21 August 2009 1:16 PM, PDT

There is something about Quentin Tarantino's work that polarizes both his audiences in general and film critics in particular. Never was that fact more evident than it is with his latest film, Inglourious Basterds, in which Tarantino suggests that World War II could have ended far more quickly if the good guys had set aside such niceties as the Geneva Convention and had bashed a few German soldiers' heads with baseball bats and scalped them instead. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times calls it "a big, bold audacious war movie," and applauds: "For once, the basterds get what's coming to them." On the other hand, Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel argues that the movie tops every other World War II movie in "awfulness." Inglourious Basterds, he writes, "is slow, dumb -- and in a first for Qt in his cinema savant career -- incompetent." Manohla Dargis in the New York Times agrees. "Rarely has one of his movies felt as interminable as this one," she writes. On a positive note, she praises the performance of Austrian actor Christoph Waltz as Nazi Col. Hans Landa and says that the film represents another testament to Tarantino's love for films. "The problem is that by making the star attraction of his latest film a most delightful Nazi, one whose smooth talk is as lovingly presented as his murderous violence, Mr. Tarantino has polluted that love." Claudia Puig in USA Today, however, is among those heaping praise on the film. Tarantino's "tall tale, with its tense and jangly pacing," she writes, "is immediately riveting." On the other hand, Joanne Kaufman remarks in the Wall Street Journal that "nothing about the emotionally unmoored Inglourious Basterds adds up. Whether it's parody, farce or a fever dream is anyone's guess." But Tom Maurstad in the Dallas Morning News says that what it really adds up to is "tour-de-force filmmaking." Nonsense, contends Michael Sragow in the Baltimore Sun. "The only hope for Inglourious Basterds is that audiences will embrace it the way the Broadway crowd did 'Springtime for Hitler' [in Mel Brooks's The Producers]: because it's so bad they think it's good. »

Jewish Critics Chime In on Inglourious Basterds
21 August 2009 12:56 PM, PDT

Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds may be getting mixed reviews from leading U.S. critics; it is getting scathing reviews from the Jewish press. The national Jewish Daily Forward calls it "Jewish revenge porn." In Connecticut's Jewish Ledger, Michael Fox writes that since the film doesn't pretend to be historically accurate, "there's no percentage in railing against [it] as blathering, self-indulgent drivel." Nevertheless, he writes, Tarantino's plot amounts to "pages and pages and pages of amusingly pointless dialogue." He concludes, "Tarantino's riff on Nazis and Jews may amuse and satisfy less mature audiences. For those with a deeper and fuller understanding of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, particularly one gleaned from sources other than action movies, it is shockingly superficial." The movie features scenes in which the "good guys" scalp German soldiers, beat them to death with baseball bats for refusing to reveal the location of comrades, carve swastikas into the foreheads of those who do cooperate, and commit suicide bombings. Jonathan Foreman in Britain's Jewish Chronicle comments, "There is something about the idea of inspiring holy terror by mutilation, decapitations, etc. that inevitably evokes today's real-life masters of cruelty and demoralization by atrocity, al-Qaeda." »

Steve Vai la Cerbul de Aur ???

jeee, acu ca s-au confirmat ZZ Top (20 octombrie, la Polivalenta, boo dar luati-va bilete pina pe 26 august, cit sunt 100 ron), Scorpions (5 noiembrie, Romexpo), Mike Stern la Masters of Jazz, iaca veste via Doctorje, cica vine Steve Vai la...Cerbul de Aur !!! Mi se pare ireal de ironic ca Vai sa cinte la Cerbul de asa, dar iaca, dupa 9 ani de la concertul (istoric pt unii, incl.me,) de la Sala Palatului, cu Eric Sardinas in deschidere (14 aprile 2000), sa cinte in Piata Sfatului ! Vai scoate un nou album< Where the Wild Things Are (Nu stiu daca are legatura cu filmul), pe 18 septembrie !

Artistul rock Steve Vai vine la Cerbul de Aur 2009, anunta A&A Records. El va fi premiat in cadrul festivalului cu un trofeu pentru intreaga sa activitate muzicala.

sau si mai rau:
Festivalul va cuprinde sase seri: Evergreen, Pop, Rock, Finala concursului de interpretare, Gala Laureatilor, Seara Superstar si Hora Satului.

Trupa Hot Chocolate va canta in incheierea primei seri a Cerbului de Aur, iar in seara Superstar vor fi prezenti pe scena chitaristul Steve Vai, Tiziano Ferro si Loredana.

cam nashpa, Steve ! oare o stii ce-l asteapta ?



anyway, great interview with the Man here:

Q:Joe Satriani is doing Chickenfoot, don’t you miss to perform or be in a band again?
SV: I have a band. But if you are referring to a rock band with a lead singer, no. I did that and it was great fun but I have no desire at this time to do it. Maybe in the future, who knows. I went to see Chicken Foot the other night and it was fantastic. Sammy sang great and Joe played his butt off. It was a good ol' rock and roll time and I think they are a good rock n’ roll party band.

Q:If you could do a one-off cover album project, whose songs would you choose?
SV: All Tom Waits.

and now for something competly different: MACHETE

cine a vazut Grindhouse stie...unul din trailerele false regizate de Robert Rodriguez pentru upcoming attractions, cu Danny Trejo as Machete, Cheech Marin as the priest si Jeff Fahey as the senator.


Acum Machete e film pe bine si au inceput filmarile acum 2 saptamini cu un dream cast!!! Si fanii fac comparatii cu The Expendables, mai ales pentru ca Steven Seagal are un rol aici, alaturi de Don Johnson, Michele Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba
si... Robert De Niro !!! Mexploitation! coming in 2010 !


Robert Rodriguez la Comic Con 2008 unde spune ca a scris scenariul mai demult si a tot luat din el, asa ca nu era doar un fals tease ci Machete will get done ! Se pare ca va co-regiza cu Ethan Maniquis, co-editorul lui !
