Revisionist Fun

The revisionist history that some will clamor to study more than the actual unknown events of the Nazi War is an absolute, unquestioned blast. The Basterds supporting cast of The Bear Jew and other crazyies you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley are fun in typical Tarantino style as well. The odd thing about the film is that one keeps waiting for these Basterds to come unhinged, but Tarantino keeps an oddly tight lid on his rewritten chain of events. For once, Tarantino's uber-bizarre whackiness was a tad lacking. Thus, depending on your mood when viewing it, you may add or subtract a star while clapping for the fact that someone finally figured out how to use "Cat People (Putting Out Fires)" by The Thin White Duke perfectly!
