Two weeks ago I found some time to watch Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds. Pretty good piece of entertainment. Not as action-packed as I thought it might be; as a matter of fact, more talky -- which is fine by me.Austrian actor Christoph Waltz was note perfect. Tarantino must have known right away that no other actor could have played the role of Hans Landa, once he heard a line reading. Brad Pitt was also very good, basically doing a "Sterling Hayden".
The film-within-a-film was very well done although the German propaganda films imitated here had wall-to-wall Wagnerian music playing throughout. Something the filmmakers of Basterds missed.
