Inglourious Basterds (2009): Bad Time to Be a Nazi
Nein, Nein, Nein! Quit the yackin’ and get to the action! Uggg. For a movie about Nazis and WWII, Inglourious Basterds sure didn’t have much action going on. There was an interesting story though.

SD Comic-Con ’09: Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey (2010)
You know, when I hear that a movie is coming out, and it’s supposed to be very educational and inspiring, I usually say, “Screw that.” Really, that’s what I was saying to the new animated film Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey. However, after sitting through the panel for that movie at SDCC, I will keep from making such rash judgments… for now.
