'Inglourious Basterds' web reviews

DateSunday, August 23, 2009 at 1:33AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino's amazing WWII drama "Inglourious Basterds" is killing its box office competition, but what do the Web's critics have to say about the film starring Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz? Here's what:

• CinemaBlend's Josh Tyler: "'Inglourious Basterds' is a flawed premise turned into a flawed story full of characters so unique and vibrant, delivering dialogue so intense and captivating, that it’s worth putting up with what’s missing."

• Todd Gilchrist @ Cinematical: "Suffice it to say it's undeniable that the film could easily be trimmed by 20 minutes of so without losing its emotional core – and indeed, perhaps picking up a stronger dramatic momentum."

Three more join Tarantino’s ‘Bastards’

DateSunday, August 31, 2008 at 9:30PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

The cast of Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” is growing.

According to Variety, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz and Raul Rust are the latest to join the ultraviolent WWII drama.

Kruger, whose acting credits include "Troy," “National Treasure” and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets," plays German actress Bridget von Hammersmark, who’s somehow involved in a plot to sabotage the Nazis.

As for Waltz, he stars as Col. Hans Landa, the film’s main antagonist. Specific details concerning Rust’s role are unknown at this stage.

Also on board of the flick are Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender and B.J. Novak. Simon Pegg was also in talks to play a British lieutenant, but he had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

I’m very glad to hear that the casting process is going so well. That way they can head into principal photography on time and get that picture ready to theaters as quickly as possible.
