Quentin Tarantino directs this ensemble action drama set in Europe
during World War Two.
In the first of two converging storylines,
Shosanna (Melanie Laurent), a young Jewish woman in occupied
France, seeks to avenge the death of her parents by the Nazis after
narrowly escaping execution herself and fleeing to Paris. There she
creates a new identity for herself as the owner and manager of a
cinema. Meanwhile, a group of Jewish American soldiers known as
'The Basterds', led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt),
joins forces with German actress and undercover agent Bridget von
Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to take down the leaders of The Third
Reich.
The Basterds cross paths with Shosanna when her cinema,
which has been commandeered by the Nazis for the screening of their
latest propaganda film, becomes the target for their next attack.
However, unbeknown to them, Shosanna has devised a revenge plan of
her own.
Christoph Waltz gained the Best Supporting Actor Awards at
both the 2010 BAFTAs and Academy Awards for his portrayal of the
devious Colonel Hans Landa.
After his son is convicted of murder, Vietnam War veteran Jeremiah Fitzjurls takes over the care of his granddaughter, Joanna, raising her with as much warmth as can be found in an Ozark junkyard outfitted to be an armory.
He teaches her how to shoot and fight, but there is not enough training in the world to protect her when the dreaded Ledfords, notorious meth dealers and fanatical white supremacists, come to collect on Joanna as payment for a long-overdue blood debt.
Headed by rancorous patriarch Bunn and smooth-talking, erudite Evail, the Ledfords have never forgotten what the Fitzjurls family did to them, and they will not be satisfied until they have taken an eye for an eye. As they seek revenge, and as Jeremiah desperately searches for his granddaughter, their narratives collide in this immersive story about family and how far some will go to honor, defend-or in some cases, destroy it.
Douglas Schulze directs this unconventional genre movie in which a
group of horror fans get more than they bargained for when they
find themselves immersed in their own nightmare. Russell (Taylor
John Piedmonte) and Duane (Allen Maldonado) attend a horror
convention where they listen to Alfonso Betz (Sid Haig) rail
against the media presenting horror movies as an influence on real
life murders. After the lecture, Russell and Duane meet Judith
(Lauren Mae Shafer), an attractive fellow convention attendee who
invites them to a party that night at an isolated farmhouse.
Something bizarre happens at the party and Russell and Duane awake
to find themselves under attack from hordes of zombies. As horror
devotees, the pair are only too aware that their predicament eerily
echoes the classic Romero movie 'Night of the Living Dead'. Will
they be able to elude a traditional horror ending?
At 7:30 a.m. on June 16, 1944, George Junius Stinney Jr. was
escorted by four guards to the death chamber. Wearing socks but no
shoes, the 14-year-old Black boy walked with his Bible tucked under
his arm. The guards strapped his slight, five-foot-one-inch frame
into the electric chair. His small size made it difficult to affix
the electrode to his right leg and the face mask, which was clearly
too large, fell to the floor when the executioner flipped the
switch. That day, George Stinney became, and today remains, the
youngest person executed in the United States during the twentieth
century.How was it possible, even in Jim Crow South Carolina, for a
child to be convicted, sentenced to death, and executed based on
circumstantial evidence in a trial that lasted only a few hours?
Through extensive archival research and interviews with Stinney's
contemporaries-men and women alive today who still carry
distinctive memories of the events that rocked the small town of
Alcolu and the entire state-Eli Faber pieces together the chain of
events that led to this tragic injustice. The first book to fully
explore the events leading to Stinney's death, The Child in the
Electric Chair offers a compelling narrative with a meticulously
researched analysis of the world in which Stinney lived-the era of
lynching, segregation, and racist assumptions about Black
Americans. Faber explains how a systemically racist system, paired
with the personal ambitions of powerful individuals, turned a blind
eye to human decency and one of the basic tenets of the American
legal system that individuals are innocent until proven guilty. As
society continues to grapple with the legacies of racial injustice,
the story of George Stinney remains one that can teach us lessons
about our collective past and present. By ably placing the Stinney
case into a larger context, Faber reveals how this case is not just
a travesty of justice locked in the era of the Jim Crow South but
rather one that continues to resonate in our own time. A foreword
is provided by Carol Berkin, Presidential Professor of History
Emerita at Baruch College at the City University of New York and
author of several books including Civil War Wives: The Lives and
Times of Angelina Grimke Weld, Varina Howell Davis, and Julia Dent
Grant.
