Brad Pitt Calls Out 'Valkyrie'

Brad Pitt is taking a ride on the Trash Talk Express.

The actor insists that his new film, Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, is the greatest World War II movie ever made, and that it's much better than Tom Cruise's Valkyrie.

Pitt told German magazine Stern: “The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said. The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story.”

When asked about Valkyrie, he replied: “It was a ridiculous movie.”

First of all, with Hollywood's proclivity for remaking everything alone, we're sure there will be more WWII movies in the future. Secondly, is it really appropriate to argue over who makes a better Nazi?

Brad will have to learn to be more diplomatic if he's going to run for public office.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
