This past Saturday I watched Inglorious Basterds. I usually don't get too excited about films by Quentin Tarantino since he is so violence-oriented, even if it is what a male friend of mine calls "light-hearted violence", whatever that might be. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie very much. Diane Kruger just gets better and better, and Brad Pitt was in his usual top form. But it was Christoph Waltz, nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor, who was absolutely amazing to watch and who stole scene after scene. His character was wickedly exuberant as he delightedly carried out his unspeakable duties of an SS officer. Oh, the casting gods were watching over this endeavor!
Update: Christoph Waltz won for best supporting actor!
