Like most film geeks in the 90's, I revered Quentin Tarantino as the second coming of cinema. He earned his geek street cred by being just like us - people spending hours, days, weeks, months, years devouring movies. His first two, "RESERVOIR DOGS" and "PULP FICTION," reflected that - a former video store clerk finally getting to share with the world his love, passion and knowledge of film. (Especially, "PULP FICTION" which is probably still the best American movie made since it came out.)"INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS" is far and away his best work since "PULP FICTION," and a reminder that this guy is one of the best screenwriters who has ever lived. Visually, it's his most accomplished and cinematic work to date. It's also Brad Pitt's best performance. (Of course, a mention must be made for Christoph Waltz, too. Melanie Laurent was also very good.) This might be my favorite movie so far this year. ("BANDSLAM" and "PUBLIC ENEMIES" right up there, too.)
