FILM: Check out the original Inglorious Bastards by Italian director Enzo Castellari, which inspired the partial premise of Tarantino's upcoming version. Incidentally, Tarantino is a very bad speller. The original remains perhaps the biggest and toughest war movie in European cult film history. Action legends Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson and Bo Svenson star as the leaders of a gang of condemned criminals who escape from an Allied prison camp, only to find themselves 'volunteering' for a suicide mission deep inside Nazi occupied France.

MUSIC: SFJazz presents trumpeter Roy Hargrove and reed expert James Carter, who will improvise all over the cavernous Grace Cathedral tonight. Hargrove is known for his experiments in Cuban grooves and his tribute to John Coltrane and Miles Davis, and he has also collaborated with Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, and Common. Carter "earned his stripes" with avant garde masters Lester Bowie and Julius Hemphill, and has also explored funk/fusion and Django Reinhardt-inspired swing.
