Mini-Review: An adrenaline rush of fun. leaving part of your brain behind will take the sting out of the flimsy script. Luckily, well shot action sequences make up for it.

Mini-Review: Tarantino rips WWII a new one with his fresh and thoroughly entertaining "Basterds". Once again Tarantino's dialogue makes the film as he builds interesting characters who end up in interesting situations. Christoph Waltz shines in his role and makes a magnificent debut into American cinema.

Mini-Review: A fun summer blockbuster with enough explosions to keep the intelligent side of your brain quiet. Unfortunately the paper thin screenplay runs dry after the explosive highway car chase.
