TRAILER REVIEW: ‘Inglourious Basterds’ or wienerschnitzel-lickin’ fingers and so forth

Lt. Aldo Raine, played by Brad Pitt, sits in front of a captured Nazi soldier.

“I’m gonna assume you know who we are,” he says.

“Everybody in the German army has heard of you,” the Nazi says.

Theater: No refunds for ‘Bruno’

ATTENTION: “Bruno” is an offensive movie.

So, if you’re offended, tough luck.

And don’t ask for your money back.

That’s what Movies ATL, a decent theater in south Atlanta is telling its customers.

TRAILER REVIEW: ‘Shutter Island’ or who cares about the title ’cause it’s Scorsese

Martin Scorsese’s next movie is “Shutter Island,” adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane who is probably the best crime writer alive. I have this dream to adapt Lehane’s first novel, “A Drink Before the War,” into a movie. It’s one of his Patrick Kenzie-Angie Gennaro detective yarns. The characters have been in a movie already: the criminally under-appreciated, wonderfully directed “Gone Baby Gone,” which did just enough business to justify its existence in 2007. It was directed and co-adapted by Ben Affleck, who is on point.

Put your name on something you can put your ass in at the Plaza

The Plaza Theatre — easily the coolest movie theater regionwide — is having a pretty awesome fundraiser. The joint needs new seats so they’re asking fans to buy them and have them engraved — for $400.

CLASSIC REVIEW: ‘Dandelion’

Part of a continuous series of classic film reviews from some of the most eloquent, hilarious film critics from yesterday and today.

I stumbled upon “Dandelion” one day on Netflix and liked the poster (not the one pictured above), so I watched the trailer. It’s beautifully shot by Tim Orr, who does all of David Gordon Green’s movies and is one of the more in-demand cinematographers in Hollywood. He’s very good shooting Southern stuff in a Terrence Malick sort of way. Plus, Taryn Manning, one of the industry’s most under-appreciated actors, is one of the leads. She’s just really, really good and can play these kinds of white trash roles with an unmatched balance of credibility and heartwarming cuteness.
