BURBANK, Calif.

Say what you want about Quentin Tarantino. His movies may not be for everybody, but they’re certainly not boring either. They’re also not like anyone else’s movies, thanks to his unbridled talent for writing snappy dialogue and his devoted passion for directing with a pulp-oriented style that’s visually stunning, dramatically intense and always ambitious.

And that is a very, very good thing indeed.

Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt have spun some revisionist history on how World War II ended.

Their war saga “Inglourious Basterds” premiered Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, presenting a band of Jewish Allied soldiers led by Pitt who play a pivotal role in taking down the Third Reich with a strategic strike against the top Nazi brass.

MovieMantz Review: ‘National Treasure: Book of Secrets’

December 24, 2007

If the first "National Treasure" was better than it probably deserved to be, then the sequel is worse than it has any right to be. Where the 2004 original was a fresh, fun and exciting Indiana Jones-style adventure that beat "The Da Vinci Code" to the cinematic punch by almost 2 years, “Book of Secrets” feels like just another stale, lazy, uninspired sequel. That’s something of a disappointment, since it was produced, written and directed by many of the same players that made the first film a surprise hit that grossed $347 million worldwide.
