How is it not typical? As far as I remember, it's a pretty straightforward chase thriller / horror. Not particularly bad, not particularly good.
Finally got around to watching Inglourious Basterds myself. It's good, very good even. Not quite Tarantino's best, but definitely a return to form. I was especially impressed with (the beginning of) Chapter 5. Smart use of the soundtrack as well. Some plot lines could have used a little more screen time though, while other scenes dragged on a little.

That does explain why the movie is so terribly uneven. I read somewhere that he was planning on making some kind of prequel as well, but that doesn't seem to be happening after all. Looks like he's going to make another intstallment of Kill Bill instead. Not something I'm particularly thrilled about.
Hence me not being particularly thrilled about that 
I wouldn't say it was awful though. From what I remember Vol.1 was really good, while Vol.2 was a (big) disappointment.
I'm gonna watch them again in the near future though, since I remember very little of the 2nd one. Very possible that my opinion has changed in the meantime.

I may even have found this here, but http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/...on-and-spiritual-transformation-in-kill-bill/ is a very good read and an interesting interpretation of the movie. Granted, it's not QT's best work, but I think it get a bit more of a hammering than it deserves.
Død snø - A Norwegian horror flick about Zombie Nazis (or were it Nazi Zombies, not quite sure). I had read some positive things about this movie, but I was a tad disappointed. For the most part, this was nothing more than a mediocre zombie flick. That being said, the final 20 min were really entertaining & did make up for a lot of the boring stuff that I had to endure in the 1st hour.
