Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Pretty phenomenal. David Bowie’s Cat People (Putting Out Fire) features prominently. Soundtrack culled from various classic movie scores.  Can’t wait to see it again. Fantastic international cast. Christoph Waltz provides his own signature comic relief. My favorite Tarantino movie.

Taking Woodstock (2009)

I LOVE Ang Lee. This one didn’t make me jump out of my seat, but it did fill me with resurgent admiration for his subtle humor and exploration of character blah blagh blaghk praise…

The parent characters outshone everyone else, I thought. Demetri Martin, not too shabby at all. I wasn’t there (the 1960s), and I’m curious to see my dad’s reaction to this film. In direct contrast to all the media representations of the era that have been fed to us over and over, this film portrayed it quietly.

This article in the L.A. Times is a good read.

District 9 (2009)

I didn’t properly appreciate this, so I’m looking forward to revisiting it on DVD. Nice to see this view of South Africa.
