Inglourious Basterds creator, Quentin Tarantino said he would work with Brad Pitt again "in a heartbeat.”

The 46-year-old director said: "Brad deserves more respect and I think he is getting it. He has become arguably the biggest male movie star in the world. It seems like his time. It is the best time to work with him."

Do you want to know what’s totally frickin’ awesome?

The new Star Trek movie is totally frickin’ awesome.

From the moment the film, the eleventh in the franchise’s history, begins, it is relentlessly, absurdly, unyieldingly awesome.

Walking in, our fandom skewed more toward J.J. Abrams and his Felicity-Lost legacy than the Trekkie world, but from the moment those familiar starships, at the film’s beginning the USS Kelvin, not the USS Enterprise, dip into sight, a sudden, unexpected glee rushed over us.

Brad Pitt has signed on to star in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II drama Inglorious Bastards. Let’s hope it’s better than Hell Ride.

Pitt will play a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of Jewish-American soldiers who are sent on a suicide mission during World War II.

Apparently the script begins with the title “ONCE UPON A TIME…in Nazi-occupied France.” Saving Private Ryan meets Reservoir Dogs, perhaps?

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!
