I know some of you aren't fans of Debbie Schlussel, but I think this movie review (must be pretty conservative-pro American, Pro-Good, and Pro-Jewish/Israel), so I thought I'd post it. Must say, her review makes me want to go see it, where as I was thinking "meh", not a fan of Brad Pit or Tarantino!

Yikes! I’d written this one off BECAUSE of Tarantino and Pitt. This is surprising.

While I read elsewhere that the plot is rather novel and gratifying, it can be pretty gory.

Who IS this woman? She writes like a teenage girl with her first assignment on the high-school paper. I thought it was spoof at first.

Say what you will about Tarantino, his movies, without exception, are riveting...

I was kind of surprised she didn’t find a way to bash Sarah Palin in this movie review.

I think I’d rather spend my money on District 9 even without the review. Pitt makes me want to Puke but not as much as Mike Myers.

She probably likes it because Pitt probably blows away someone who reminds her of Sarah Palin.

I saw the movie last Saturday (it’s already out in the UK). I thought it was really good. Worth seeing that’s for sure.
To: JSDude1
Alas, it celebrates sending US soldiers to commit war crimes. Of course the Japanese stay behinds after surrender, and the German commandos in captured allied uniforms led by SS officer Otto Skorzeny were the ones actually sent to commit war crimes.

Another really, really good movie is Black Book. It’s about a Jewish woman who joins the Resistance in WWII. It came out in 2007, I think. It, too, is rated R for a couple of scenes. I highly recommend it. It’s a foreign film, but its so engrossing that you hardly realize you’re reading subtitles. It’s out on DVD.

Tarantino. No. It's final. There is no theme he can pick or treatment he can give it that will pry a plug nickel from my wallet.

Pitt is a Christian & Bush hater and a lib. People need to stop shilling for libs and Hollywood here.

Am going to see this film Sunday ... looking forward to it. I'm not a fan of Tarantino but this sounds pretty good.

My only regrets are 1) that its not a true story; and 2) that no-one in Hollywood has the guts to do an Inglorious Basterds with Americans fighting our current enemy: Muslim invaders whove also replaced their friends, the Nazis, as the thugs upon Europe.The movie is basically a revenge fantasy. If you're Jewish, go see it and enjoy.
Having seen the trailer, I haven't heard a worse southern accent since Martin Sheen tried to play Robert E. Lee in "Gettysburg." I don't think I could sit through a whole movie of Brad Pitt in that voice. You'd think a guy from Oklahoma could do at least a little better than that.
Her comment about Hollywood refusing to make films casting the Islamo-fascists as the villains is well-taken.
Instead we get Brad Pitt here or Tom Cruise in "Valkyrie" refighting the Nazis in WWII for the umpteenth time. It appears for Hollywood, WWII is the "good war" because we were allied with the communists.
Hollywood has no problem smearing America in movie after movie, and no problem depicting the Nazis as evil, but a film depicting Islamo-fascists (or, in former times, Soviet communists) as the bad guys for some reason is rare indeed.
I'll take a pass on "Basterds."
