This STAGECOACH remake really rocks . . .

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2016)

. . . as writer\director Quentin Tarantino exposes the True Essence of Real Life Menaces John Ford, John Wayne, and the rest of their gang of UnAmerican Fascist Thugs--all while making a highly enjoyable picture twice as good and four times as funny as the over-rated 1939 original. Though the mendacious and ruinously harmful GONE WITH THE WIND (inspirer of countless Real Life lynchings in the decades following its release) hosed THE WIZARD OF OZ for the Best Picture Oscar in the Year of Hitler ('39), Mr. Tarantino also goes a long way toward avenging American cinema for the racist travesty GWTW was with one of the longest passages of reverse racism ever to play on the screens of U.S. Multiplexes. John Wayne movies always promoted violence by reducing death-by-gunfire to a spot of ketchup on a victim's shirt. Conversely, Mr. Tarantino is the National Rifle Association's worst nightmare, since most of his flicks show parents exactly how their kids will end up looking when there are guns in a home; it ain't a pretty sight!
