Greenberg

March 26, 2010
By piers marchant
Greenberg

Greenberg  |  Dir. Noah Baumbach  |  Score: 6.7 If Noah Baumbach has a singular skill — and this is not to suggest the talented writer/director is regulated to just one — it’s his ability to render somewhat hateful and self-hating types in their full blown glory. He’s not one to try and pass a...

By piers marchant
Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds  |  Dir. Quentin Tarantino  |  Score: 6.2 Not to be reductive, but let’s begin by explaining what Quentin Tarrantino’s new film is not: As in, it’s not much about the Basterds, a hand-picked group of Jewish soldiers the Allies turn into an elite covert unit, fighting behind enemy lines in WW II...
