    Inglourious Basterds

    ★★★★

    Maximalist piece of alternate history made into yet another enjoyable Tarantino blockbuster.

    Amazing mis en scene (accents, costumes, production design etc.) that ranges anywhere from painstakingly accurate to overly cartoonish (see Hitler).

    Oscar worthy performance by Waltz who nailed the role of Hans Lander, a quick-witted, precise and cartoonishly meticulous SS ideologue surprisingly turned fanatical and self-serving traitor.

    Refreshing editing

  • Gladiator

    Gladiator

    ★★★★½

    A film about a courageous general who overcame great hardship to selflessly save his fatherland from descending into tyranny.

    Acting performances: some 10/10 (esp. Joaquin Phoenix)
    Iconic score, Breathtaking visuals,
    Amazing writing (some plot twist, fun to watch, great characters, nice dialogues with iconic lines)

    Are u not entertained???

    American Psycho

    ★★★½

    Impressive display of what greed, hyperindividualism and a lack of purpose and community can do to you (especially in Capitalism’s Mecca New York).

    Capitalism and greed make us loose our humanity and instead promote competition and egoism.

    Yet this is what has been accepted as normal!

    About the film:

    - Majority of it is quite boring
    - Solid ending can only partially make up for that
    - Amazing performance by Christian Bale
