Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel as I expect any movie director ever can.</p> Thu, 16 May 2013 10:00:00 +0000 Jim Erickson 17276 at http://kmuw.org Movie Review: The Great Gatsby http://kmuw.org/post/movie-review-django-unchained <p></p><p>The biggest problem with Quentin Tarantino's <em>Django Unchained<em> </em></em>is that it is made up largely of two pretty ordinary short bits and then a main story that is interesting but stretches the movie out to two-and-a-half hours plus.
