Tarantino Writing 20+ Page Review of 'Superman Returns'

Quentin Tarantino is known for being one of the biggest film geeks in the world (and I mean that in a good way). He also is known for being, shall we say, methodical in his output. Suffice to say, the man is a perfectionist and he takes his time to make sure the job is done right.

So it should be no big surprise that QT is writing a 20+ page review of a single movie. And the fact that the movie came out in 2006 is hardly a surprise, either.

In yesterday's edition of the New York Times, Tarantino was asked about the time he served on the jury at the Cannes Fim Festival and he followed the answer up by saying that he subsequently held his "own little Cannes Film Festival."

• NYT: In your festival, who won best director?
  QT: Bryan Singer for ‘‘Superman Returns.’’ I am a big fan of ‘‘Returns.’’ I’m working on what is now a 20-page review of that movie, and I’m not done yet.

For my money, if anyone can write a more-than-20-page-review on one movie (and make it worth my time), QT would be among the very few that could. And I bet his review will be well worth reading -- regardless of how you feel about the movie.

Since I happen to be an admirer of "Superman Returns," I am especially anxious to read what Tarantino has to say (or write). I'm just not expecting to be able to do so anytime soon. You know how Tarantino can be.
