A movie you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving: Inglourious Basterds When the buzz for this movie started even months before it opened, I had no interest whatsoever in seeing it.

As I mentioned in my Oscar nom musings, I've got twelve movies to catch up on by Oscar time (both nominated for Best Picture and those that feature Oscar-nominated performances). In the past 2 weeks, I finally caught this one and The Hurt Locker, here's what I generally think …
