Tarantino is back -

and not just in the sense he has a movie out, but in the fact that it is a pretty damn good movie.

Note: If you're easily queasy at seeing lots of blood or sliced flesh, this might not be the movie for you.

Brad Pitt was hilarious and is one of the most underrated actors around. He fully inhabits every character he portrays and he brings his real life charisma to make that character fully developed. He's a leading man, an action star, a comedian, a stoner, and in short, whatever he needs to be to make his character work for his films.

He's not on screen the most here, but each time he does come on, you can't help but be drawn to him.

OK, so enough BP love. What else is great?

It's late, so it's hard for me to get into much, but the dialogue is classic Tarantino. It borders on the bizarre, the funny, the absurd, and the shocking. But it carries the story along and I give him a lot of credit for allowing the characters to use their native languages (so that means a lot of subtitles. Get over it you lazy bums before you complain about how you hate to read while watching a movie. There is a lot of nuance that is brought to a story based on languages. But enough preaching).

For now, go see it. If you're a QT fan, definitely go see it.
