Whats up everybody. We survived 2012, and now ITS 2013!!!!!!! Hopefully we will survive this year. Anyway there weren't that many movies that came out this week that interested me or really made me want to get out of my warm house to watch. So I'll review a movie that has been out for a while, and probably already has some reviews. So without further to do:
Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino is considered, to me, one of the greatest directors in movie history. I mean the films he has worked on. From Pulp Fiction to Inglorious Bastards, he has some great films. Rumors are he is going to leave the movie industry soon. Which is a shame because he has a lot of talent and knows how to make good movies. Hopefully he will return and keep making great films like his most recent release, Django Unchained. 
Plot: The story is set in the South during the 1800's, two years before the Civil War, and slavery is still a common practice. Django, a slave, (played by Jamie Foxx), is saved by a bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (played by Christoph Waltz). Schultz at first hired Django to help him track down some wanted criminals, but then after bagging the criminals, Schultz asks him to be his partner. Also he promises to help Django save his wife. And so they go out and make a living hunting down criminals, and tracking down the person who owns Django's wife. The story is pretty simple, nothing really hard to understand. In a way its there to justify the action. 
Genre: Its an action and adventure film. Compared to his previous film, Inglorious Bastards, there is more action. In fact, for the most part, the story kind of justifies the action. Seeing Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz take down bad guys with Western Cowboy pistols and tactics is pretty awesome. The explosions and shootouts are pretty awesome. They are probably the movie's strong point. Also there aren't that many flashbacks and there aren't that many character perspective switches. The movie really just focuses on Django and Schultz, with a few flashbacks to Django's past. There are some funny jokes said, and witty comments that made me laugh. The acting is pretty good. Waltz does a good job portraying a German Bounty hunter in America. A brilliant "Mr. Fancy Pants." Leonardo DiCaprio also does a good job playing a posh, fancy, and loud southern plantation owner. Seriously DiCaprio is pretty talented. He can play anything. Lastly good performances by Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson. They are pretty memorable in their own way. As for the other actors. Everybody seems to have a pretty good southern country accent.
Overall: A simple story that provides a good background justifies the acting and the action. Tarantino knows how to make good films. The action is well done, and the acting done by the actors makes the setting feel real and makes the shootouts look good. If you haven't seen this film, you should definitely check it out.
9 out of 10
Tarantino please don't leave the movie industry.
