Tarantino’s ‘Django’; ‘Les Miz’; Memphis Justice: Movies

Revenge fantasies don’t get any more fantastical than “Django Unchained,” Quentin Tarantino’s dazzlingly violent and outlandishly funny spin on Spaghetti Westerns, blaxploitation films and America’s original sin.

Slavery is to “Django” what the Holocaust was to Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” -- a colossal wrong to be righted by a film geek’s best weapons: artistry, imagination and wicked humor.
