Quentin Tarantino’s latest work is about Nazis, Revenge, and of course, Cinema. Consisting of a series of vignettes detailing the major players, it arrives at the convergence of two plots to take down the Nazi high command during a film screening in occupied France. Emmanuelle Mimieux (Mélanie Laurent) is the assumed name of an escaped French Jew who runs a cinema in Paris with her lover.

This is the movie that will shake up the action genre out of the shithole Michael Bay et al have dug for it. The concept is brilliant. Aliens have arrived on Earth, and have opted to hover above Johannesburg rather than kill and enslave everyone, or even just leave. Why this has happened is never made explicitly clear, but the motivations are there if you care to watch carefully and indulge in a little speculation. The story begins as pencil-pusher Wikus van de Merwe gets a promotion and the opportunity to organise herding the now earth-bound aliens out of their shitty refugee camp.

After a few years of flailing our arms at imaginary objects, Nintendo has released the MotionPlus, a little doodacky that clicks onto the end of your Wiimote and increases the accuracy of your flailing to the level that it was supposed to be back when the Wii was released. It comes bundled with Wii Sports Resort, which is a new collection of little games just like the original Wii Sports, only this time loosely themed around tropical island activities.
