Inglorious Basterds (2009)

Let’s face facts, when it comes to films, Quentin Tarantino does things his own way and he doesn’t care who he offends or annoys. (Just thought I’d put it out there.) Now, I’m not a die-hard QT fan. I like most of his films, but I don’t jump on the Tarantino train every day of […]

Best Michael Fassbender Movies

From almighty super-villain to a sadistic plantation owner, Michael Fassbender has incredible range and is one of the best actors today. He has starred in all kinds of films of various genres. The main reason I really like is that he always undertakes challenging roles, and appears unconcerned about the likeability of the characters he portrays. […]
