Making $38 million over the weekend, “Inglourious Basterds” had the best opening of any Tarantino film. The movie was pretty damn good too, with Christoph Waltz (Col. Hans Landa) stealing the show. I’d have to say that Brad Pitt gave the worst performance of his life (though his Italian was hilarious), but it didn’t hurt [...]

Let’s hope Smith redeems himself with this one.
