The two white-trash women screaming at each other as they walk down the street past my apartment fail to notice what a beautiful day it is.

@ErikDavis Being taken out of Oscar season is mildly surprising; moving to dumping-ground February is alarming.

Friday movie roundup – Aug. 21

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Quentin Tarantino’s intentionally misspelled “Inglourious Basterds” opens today, and love it or hate it, there’s no question it’s a Quentin Tarantino film. If you’ve seen one of his previous works, you know what sort of shenanigans you’re in for.

Tarantino’s last film was “Death Proof,” which ran as one-half of the “Grindhouse” program. The other half was “Planet Terror,” directed by Robert Rodriguez — who also has a new film coming out today! It’s “Shorts,” a sunny, PG-rated lark aimed at kids, with a story about a magic wish-granting rock. Very un-Tarantino-like.

The third new wide release this weekend is “Post Grad,” an awful comedy starring the girl from “Gilmore Girls” as a recent college graduate who can’t find a job. This is largely because she’s a petulant, over-entitled moron, though the movie does not realize this.

In DUMBO, he doesn’t fly until the very end, but that’s what everyone always talks about. Total spoiler, you guys. Not cool.
