Under the Sea 3-D - IMAX

Years ago I had seen Into the Deep in 3D and loved it. Some people only know 3D movies like My Bloody Valentine or Monsters vs. Aliens. Well this is the real deal. This shit comes out at you asking you to reach out and touch it. It is only 40 min which seems short but was about right considering I got a little sea sick. You are up and close amongst all types of underwater creatures; my favorite was the blue eel. The negative was I was in a packed theater nothing but kids that were kicking my chair and yelling. Also the Narrator Jim Carrey did not fit right and was trying to be funny a few times that did not work. This is really meant for kids ages 8-14 and adults will like it if you can get in without a packed audience.

Inglourious Basterds -

Always a fan of Tarantino so when I heard he was making a movie about the 2nd World War I was pretty excited. I love WW2 movies and knew I would get something special. First of all everything you expect from a Tarantino movie are there. Awesome dialogue, strange comedy moments, brutal kills and twist in the plots. This is the first movie were every scene built a tension.You could literally pull each scene out and show as a short film.Because of that it worked great especially since they al led up to a climax. The first scene sets the movie off perfect with 20 min of dialogue that ends with a bang. This movie is also helped with 2 great actors Brad Pitt who is the leader of the bastards. Christoph Waltz is the Jew hunter. I think Christoph edges out Brad for the best actor in the whole movie. Every time this guy shows up you know he is going to kick some ass. I had a huge smile the whole time during this. Is this the best treatment he could have given this? No, but I loved what he did with it. The Only gripe I had was the attention to detail mainly the uniforms. The SS uniforms were truly bad ass and were well made. These uniforms looked of $5.00 budget and thrown together. There is a scene were Hitler is wearing a Nazi cape, he looks rather comic and then I knew he was not putting a lot of time in the uniforms which was ok. As of writing this I am going to see it again which would make it only the 2nd movie this summer I re- watched after Drag me to hell. If your a fan of good movies Tarantino delivers.
