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 [...]

Despite the fact that my top 20 list from last year turned out to be a bit of a disaster (5 of the films got pushed to 2009, and 8 other films ended up ranging from bad to mediocre), I’m going to give it another shot.
20.) Whatever Works

This next one’s for the new Kevin Smith project. I normally wouldn’t be too excited, but he’s got Seth Rogen in the lead:
Let’s hope Smith redeems himself with this one.
