Virag's Movie Reviews: The Hateful Eight (2015)

Overthinking Tarantino never does any good, but the guy loves film and it shows.  This flick is a smooth mix of homage and over-the-top comedy, lovingly assembled on 70mm film.  A single room filled with awful people played by fine actors is just part of the joke, featuring Kurt Russell as John Wayne and Michael Madsen as Nick Nolte.  Tarantino knows what he's doing here, and anyone who takes it too seriously is doing it wrong.  For the rest of us, it's just a fun monster flick where the people are the monsters.
