WWII films are always in fashion in Hollywood, from "Schindler’s List" and "Saving Private Ryan" to the Spike Lee-directed "Miracle at St. Anna." "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" creator Quentin Tarantino’s latest film "Inglourious Basterds" follows along this theme.
In the movie, a group of morally-offensive American soldiers are shipped off to a military prison for various crimes and become commandos with the mission to assassinate Nazis. You can count on lots of cartoon-styled violence. In true Tarantino style, a series of carnal film posters are ready to catch your attention for its August 21, 2009 release.
