For example, just saw "Bone Tomahawk" which surprises and shocks in a way Tarantino wouldn't know how. Even so, having had serious issues with "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained", "The Hateful Eight" proved straightforward fun. But no, it in no way lingers as "a masterpiece" in my mind. <br /><br />And of course I will change that to the appropriate "Exorcist", thanks.Buck Theoremhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229297104282779341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739588130392043394.post-39478671840274681242016-02-23T22:22:21.749+00:002016-02-23T22:22:21.749+00:00At last, a balanced review; thanks.

I'm sick to death of reading that it's either the greatest film since [insert your choice of the ones it quotes] or, alternatively, a sexist, racialist disgrace to the filmic art, the Western genre and the male species.
