""Inglourious Basterds,"" the latest film directed by Quentin Tarantino, is obviously designed to provoke strong responses; so far, it has certainly made good on this objective. Depending on who you ask, the film is either morally reprehensible or an idiosyncratic tribute to the power of cinema. But perhaps it's most useful to think of the film as a stage in the development of Tarantino's style: ""Basterds"" is highly allusive, remarkably unsubtle, formally bold and insanely well-written.
Richard Lyshek says there's a ""good chance"" his Ram Head Ratskellar may never reopen.
For all of the Obama supporters I heard storming the Capital last November I'm sure you first laugh, and then get angry, when you hear conservatives question Obama's citizenship. You're probably thinking, ""well clearly he's a US citizen, how else could he have filled out the W2 tax forms when he became President? Doesn't he need a passport to travel out of the country and meet world leaders? How would he get through customs? Jokes aside, for Obama supporters, his status as a US citizen is a non issue. We can see a copy of his birth certificate and Hawaiian officials have verified its authenticity. The Supreme Court refused to hear a major lawsuit regarding Obama's citizenship. And most importantly, with no substantial evidence, it is simply unreasonable to assume we are dealing with a massive conspiracy.

The Best Picture race for next year's Academy Awards just got a little thinner. Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated new film ""Shutter Island"" had its release date pushed back from Oct. 2 to Feb. 19, 2010. Not only does this disqualify ""Island"" for the 2009 awards, but it also gets a February release date, a month normally reserved for studio clunkers like ""Son of the Mask"" or ""Biker Boyz."" In fact, the four films released this year the weekend ""Island"" is set to debut were ""Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li,"" ""Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail,"" ""Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience"" and ""Fired Up."" If 2009 is any indication, the caliber of February film releases does not typically end up being Oscar-worthy, which leads to the question of why Paramount is delaying the release. The film is already completed, there is no cataclysmic event that should delay it (the terrorist-filled ""Collateral Damage"" was shelved for over a year after 9/11) and the stars haven't had any embarrassing public meltdowns; so why is ""Shutter Island"" being delayed? In short, the economy.
