Movies Reviews
Inglourious Basterds
I am a fan of Quentin Tarantino, with a caveat-I enjoy the action and dialogue of his movies, but I sometimes find that some of the violence is so gratuitous, that it doesn’t seem reasonable, and therefore, my enjoyment of the movie is less. I am not opposed to …
