Finally, 19 days into the new year I made my first trip to the cinema to see Django Unchained. It has everything we have come to expect from a Tarantino film - the soundtrack, the dialogue, the violence, the references/quotations from other film makers and films, the director cameo, long forgotten actors, Zoe Bell etc. It was great. However, if you want to be picky it is, like most of Tarantino's recent efforts, perhaps 10 minutes longer than it needs to be. He really needs to find an editor who can contain his excesses. Highly recommended, if this is still the only Orignal Fassung film playing next weekend then I will go and see it again. It is going to take a very good year for this not to make my personal top 10 of 2013.
Oh and the Die Hard trailer beforehand looked awesome, the Star Trek trailer less so.
