HALLELUJAH! Last weekend at the Provincetown Film Festival, Movie God writer-director Quentin Tarantino announced that he has finally finished the screenplay for that itty-bitty, unknown war epic called Inglorious Bastards.
With having narrowed a once thousand something-page script down to a more reasonable one under two-hundred, Tarantino stated he was “real happy dude right now.” As a personal Tarantino worshipper, I think it’s safe to say that he’s not the only one.
The film will mark the ground-breaking director’s sixth major feature—his first solo project since Kill Bill: Vol. 2 back in 2004. Like Kill Bill, this upcoming WWII epic will most likely be a two-part saga; unlike his revenge movie, Inglorious Bastards will be his first period piece.

At yesterday’s closing of the Cannes Film Festival, a French film - the first since 1987 - walked away with this season’s Palme d’Or (Best Movie). The Class, a true story about a group of Parisian teachers and students, rose to the top of what has been widely-considered a disappointing crop of films. A pair of Italian films - Gomorra and Il Divo - nabbed the Grand Prix and Jury Prize respectively.
Two names well known to American audiences were also honored at the 61st annual event. Actor Benicio Del Toro was deemed Best Actor by the nine-member jury for his work in Che, another project with Traffic‘s Steven Soderbergh. (The movie about Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara rang in at a whopping four hours.) Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood received a ‘Special Prize’ for his body of work (one of two handed out this year). Although his latest film, Changeling, received a heaping of praise, it was unfortunately left out of the major prizes.
A full list of the winners can be found here.

Mixed Reviews for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

The U.S. premiere of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still 3 days away, but an audience at Cannes got its first glimpse yesterday. Here’s a sampling of the reviews being posted by critics today:
- Associated Press: “Except for the opening — which literally starts the film off with a bang — and a couple of dazzling chase sequences, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is about as unfocused and meandering as the title itself.”
- Entertainment Weekly: “There’s joy and a middle-aged playfulness to the best of Steven Spielberg’s unlikely sequel. And I mean that as a full compliment: All the movieman’s themes are here, his interests, obsessions, trademark strengths as a cinematic storyteller, and Spielbergian ‘tells,’ too, with hubcap and sideview mirror reflections dating back over 35 years to Duel.”
