Quentin Tarantino talks Inglourious Basterds - RT Interview
With his sixth film, Quentin Tarantino has fashioned the ultimate in pulp fiction, a Second World War epic set in Nazi-occupied France that sees two parallel assassination plots vying to kill off the Big Four: Adolf Hitler, Martin Borman, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler. Now, this might suggest that Inglourious Basterds is the pop-culture king's most serious film to date, and though it probably is, it's far from heavy, with outstanding, dry-comedic turns - notably from Brad Pitt as the Tennessee-born Lieutenant Aldo Raine - and an effervescent black humour.

Cannes 2009: Tarantino Talks Basterds
The stars were out in full force to support Inglorious Basterds in Cannes this morning, with writer/director Quentin Tarantino and cast members Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Michael Fassbender (amongst others) facing the press on the Croisette. The film follows the efforts of a team of Jewish-American soldiers, nicknamed 'The Basterds', to venture behind enemy lines to capture, maim and kill as many Nazis as possible, and is Tarantino's tribute to the 'men on a mission' movies popularised in the 1960s and '70s. Eli Roth, who plays the baseball bat-wielding Basterd Donnie Donowitz in the movie, called it "kosher porn" for Jews, claiming that murdering Nazis, "is something that I've fantasised about since I was a kid."

Nicolas Cage Gets a Pair of "National Treasure 2" Costars
It racked up nearly $200 million at the box office, so a sequel was to be expected, but 2004's "National Treasure" made its way onto few (if any) critics' best-of lists, and a person could be forgiven for thinking that the upcoming "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" would be nothing more than a cash-in by Disney and star Nicolas Cage.
