Django Unchained - rare for us to see a current film

An extremely rare event, we have been to see a current movie; Tarantino's Django Unchained - maybe the last new-release movie we saw was Inglorious Basterds?

I was also very impressed by the maid - not perhaps as brilliant as Jennifer Aniston's french maid from a movie of a few years back, but not bad
