The Hateful Eight (2015)

I had the absolute pleasure of watching this in its true format, Ultra Panavision 70mm and it was beautiful. The movie was pretty darn good too, a visually stunning western with a fantastic musical score, Tarantino's usual great written dialogue and lots bloody moments. I actually enjoyed this more than Django and think it might be one of my favourites of his (though that might be the Ultra Pan 70mm talking).  Everyone is on top form acting wise too leading to some engaging and at times very funny performances. It's dark, twisted, funny, a tad too long in it's first half but ultimately a thoroughly entertaining love letter to the western genre with classic genre elements meeting Tarantino's usual stylistic flair.
