THE THINGS YOU LEARN AT THE MOVIES

During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555.

Most dogs are immortal.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the

year.

All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level

on the man beside her.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.

It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No-one will ever think of looking for you in

there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty.

If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition -even if you haven't been carrying any before

now.

You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of

your sweetheart back home.

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. Even a

bad German accent will do.

If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the

tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his

wounds.

If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill just grab one at random and hand it over.

It will always be the exact fare.

Inglourious Basterds Movie Reviews

Great fun, a real surprise

It just goes to show how wrong you can be. I had not expected to like this film. I was disappointed by both the Kill Bill films (although i preferred the second) and Death Proof (although it was better in the shorter cut of the double-bill release). I love Reservoir Dogs, admire Pulp Fiction and think that Jackie Brown is Tarantino's most mature piece of film-making - technically his most superior - including the last great performance elicited from Robert De Niro. Since then it seems to me while his films have been okay (i haven't hated them) he has been treading water in referential, reverential, self-indulgent juvenilia.

Then i read the script last year for Inglourious Basterds - and i hated it! Sure it had some typical QT flourishes and the opening scene was undeniably powerful. There were a couple of great characters. But on page it was more juvenile rubbish, largely ruined by the largess of the uninteresting Basterds of the title. It made me seriously contemplate not seeing the film. The trailers did nothing to convince me. I only changed by mind when i had the opportunity to see the film with a Tarantino Q&A following in London. I figured it would be worth enduring to hear him in Q&A as i know from interviews how entertaining he can be in person.

So little was i prepared for the sheer exuberant fun and brilliance of Inglourious Basterds.

Easily Mr Tarantino's best work since Jackie Brown it is a triumph.

Yes the references are there but they do not interfere with the story, they are not the driving force. Yes Eli Roth is stunt casting but he works fine, with little to do but look aggressive, and does nothing to hurt the film as i had feared. While i admired Mr Tarantino for using stuntwoman Zoe Bell as herself in Death Proof in order to amp-up the exhilaration of the major stunt scene her lack of any acting ability in a key role was a problem for the film. The same could be said of Tarantino's own appearances in several films, especially Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn, which Tarantino wrote.

What really makes this work is how BIG it is. The spaghetti western vibe to much of the style, dialogue and performances is wonderfully over the top without descending too far into the cartoon quality of Kill Bill. The violence is so big. The audacity so big. Brad Pitt is so big! In the trailers the Hitler moment and Pitt's performance bothered me but in the context of the film they are hilarious. Pitt is actually brilliant here, exactly what he needs to be. He is Mifune's blustering samurai in Yojimbo, he is Robards Cheyenne from Once Upon a Time in the West, there is a very James Coburn vibe to him, and of course a suitably Lee Marvin edge.

Christoph Waltz (who i did not previously known) and Melanie Laurent (who i first noticed in a brilliant French-language British short film by Sean Ellis) are sensational and i expect to see both used a lot more in the future. Tarantino has clearly not lost his eye for casting, which seemed to desert him in Death Proof. Waltz is equally large in his performance. Chilling, yet theatrical. He is Fonda from OUATITW, Van Cleef from Good, The Bad & the Ugly. And Laurent is suitably Cardinale innocence but tough, a fighter. They both dazzle here.

That every member of the cast gets the fun to be had from what they are doing while not indulging themselves in just having fun and trying to get laughs helps tremendously. The laughs - and there are loads - come organically. Only Mike Myers comes close to tipping the wink and pushing it too far but his scene is reigned in just enough - with the help of a fantastic Michael Fassbender who seems pulled directly from the mold of Attenborough's Great Escape leader.

All the actors shine and Tarantino throws in wonderful flourishes, but ones that work with the story. The introduction of Schweiger's Hugo Stiglitz is a riot. After a sensational slow-burn opening and a glorious intro to those inglourious Basterds the pace never lets up and over two and half hours flies by.

It also looks beautiful, marking this as a return to real film-making rather than just self-indulgent silliness. The musical choices, as always, are inspired from Morricone on.

The film is audacious and hilarious. After a summer when nearly every film has disappointed me it came as a huge surprise that the real fun and entertaining, but also involving and impressive film should be this one, when i would never have believed it from script form. Welcome back QT.

FANTASTIC FOUR Movie Review

"Everything the Fantastic Four is supposed to be"

FANTASTIC FOUR Review
© Mania

A random encounter with notorious Fantastic Four foe The Wizard leaves Reed Richards questioning his place in the universe and his dedication to making the world a better place. As a result, he retreats to his Room of 100 Ideas, the secret lair where he houses The Bridge, a device that allows him to see alternate dimensions and realities. What he finds there is astounding – even for a guy who’s fought Galactus and been to the Negative Zone.

The Good

The relationship between Johnny and Ben was perfect. They’re not bratty kids constantly pestering each other, but brothers who might get on one another’s nerves and playfully tease each other, but still love each other as brothers would. The little moments with Reed and the kids were great and so was the big crazy cosmic stuff. Which is how the FF should be handled. I also really liked the “from one scientist to another” scenes with Mr. Fantastic and The Wizard. Dale Eaglesham’s art is a perfect fit for this book, and actually looks phenomenally better than his JSA run.

All-in-all, I don’t have much to complain about. This book impressed me on every level.

The Bad

The verdict is still out on Mr. Fantastic in short sleeves.

The Bottom Line

Cover art to FANTASTIC FOUR #570 by Dale Eaglesham

I had a pretty good inkling I was going to enjoy Hickman & Eaglesham’s work on this title, but I had no idea just how much I would enjoy it.

This is exactly how I expect the Fantastic Four to be treated and was worthy of the title “World’s Greatest Comic Magazine”. It’s not simply a bigger-than-life adventure, but an adventure of a truly cosmic scope: a multiverse and dimension-spanning adventure that leave the reader pondering the nature of the universe and stopping every so often to remember that this is a family who cares very deeply for one another.

Not only did I not find fault with the writing and art in this issue, it was fun as hell! I had an absolute blast reading it and a smile on my face the entire time. I like Jonathan Hickman quite a bit but I wasn’t sure if he was a “big, cosmic” guy. Turns out he has either been channeling the spirit of Jack Kirby and communing with Stan Lee on the astral plane or he’s been eating a whole lot of mushrooms lately – he jumped in with both feet on this title and seems to be enjoying the hell out of it. Obviously, I did too.
