Cinephile No. 548 “The Hateful Eight”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

The dialogue in "The Hateful Eight" should be chiseled in stone and given to every screenwriter for mandatory reading. Seriously, it’s that good. Part comedy, part thriller, part drama, the whole thing is tied together with Tarantino’s dynamic writing, story-telling, and obsessive devotion to the art of cinema. Coming in at almost three hours long, I was a bit nervous to see this one, but then Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson entered the picture and captivated my imagination for the next few hours. Their delivery and command of the screen is engaging and a relief. Good writing is powerful and these two actors proved it.


Be good to each other,

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
