NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. About a group of Nazi killers in Germany who were an offshoot of the U.S. military. A colossal waste of time as the movie was a collection of way too long scenes and every cliche in the book together with a screenplay that was unbelievable- really.

TRADE

2007. With Kevin Kline. About the sex trade in Mexico. The movie was formulaic and boring and I turned it off before Kevin Kline entered the movie. Netflix Streaming. 8/09

GOODBYE SOLO

 2008. Starring Souleymane Sy Savane and Red West and directed by Ramin Bahrani. Solo is a Sengelese taxi driver in North Carolina who is offered $1000 to drive a despondent man to Blowing Rock N.C. where he presumably plans to commit suicide. The film is about Solo’s “mission” to save this lonesome man. A few too many unanswered questions for me but the movie was very different and it held my interest. Netflix. 8/09
