Quentin Tarantino Reviews, Interviews & More
Here’s a fascinating case of an actor wildly mis-reading a script: in 2011, news broke that Quentin Tarantino wanted Will Smith to star as the titular character in his pre-Civil War era spaghetti western, Django Unchained. Which made sense, in a way—Tarantino has a knack for oddball casting, and Will Smith starring in an actual good film is as odd as it gets these days (plus, as...
It's like a breath of fresh air when you walk into a movie theater and watch a film that's been one hundred percent created from a person's mind. There's no previous material that it's based off of for you to look up. The script's conception was done solely through one or two persons which blossomed into the movie that you see before you. This week we'd like to touch upon some of the original...
Quentin Tarantino sure knows how to stir the pot. Now that he's out promoting Django Unchained, he's been talking to journalists, and he says things that excite and incite film fans with his comments on what's coming next and what he thinks about other filmmakers.
Okay, we know that some of Quentin Tarantino's movies can be a little bit long, but the man knows how to weave a good story. As usual the famed director is getting some attention for his latest movie Django Unchained. Apparently Harvey Weinstein already saw this coming and wanted to do something drastic with the spaghetti western before it hit theaters. Thank...
With the news that Quentin Tarantino might be moving on to different pastures (specifically, pay cable) following the downfall of 35 mm, now may be a good time for Tarantino fans to start picking up some of his film memorabilia while you still can—or, if not a fan, grab something for your favorite QT fan for Christmas. A cheap and easy option? A Django Unchained comic book series,...
In 2009, Quentin Tarantino tackled Europe's Nazi past with Inglourious Basterds. Three years later, he's decided to take care of home. The writer and director's latest work, Django Unchained, focuses on the darkest time in American history. Jamie Foxx stars as a freed slave, who with the help of a German bounty hunter, searches for his wife in a world set on keeping them...
Quentin Tarantino is known for shooting from the hip when announcing never-gonna-happen future film projects—remember when he promised a Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs crossover called The Vega Brothers? Cancelled. That Inglorious Basterds prequel? Yeah, probably not. And for...
When it comes to soundtracks to Quentin Tarantino films, you know what you’re going to get—some oddball vintage rock or pop tunes, some soul, and a few Ennio Morricone tracks for good measure, along with snippets of dialogue from the film. The just-released tracklisting for the Django Unchained soundtrack has, of course, all of those things—and something...
Django Unchained director Quentin Tarantino, never one to hold his tongue, was recently interviewed in a director's roundtable featuring Ben Affleck, Ang Lee, Tom Hooper, David O. Russell and Gus Van Sant for what may be the group of Oscar best director contenders this year (noticeably absent: Kathryn Bigelow, Peter Jackson and more, but this probably has to do with...
Believe it or not, Christoph Waltz is perfecting the art of bounty hunting. Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained will, once again, feature Waltz playing a German bounty hunter. Thankfully, he won't be chasing and killing God's Chosen People this time around. He'll be helping Jamie Foxx find his long-lost love... through violent means. He is a bounty hunter after...
With Thanksgiving this Thursday, there’s a paucity of new releases, partly because sales are going to be all about the discounts and deals that come with Black Friday. So there’s one new movie that’s actually pretty entertaining (The Expendables 2), one of the most famous bombs in the history of cinema, and a box set featuring most of the films of one of...
Okay, so we're currently drowning underneath the heavy weight that is possible Oscar contenders. But we must not forget that there is a couple of movies that we should be paying attention to that are coming out next month. No, we're not talking about the darn Hobbit, we're referring to Quentin Tarantino's bloody revenge tale Django...

Django Unchained won't be the only Quentin Tarantino movie in theaters December. Fathom Events is hosting a nationwide Tarantino night bringing his classics Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, back to the masses. You read right, they're returning to the big screen.
Movies have been great for the last couple weeks. We've gotten The Master, Looper, Argo, and shortly we'll be getting Cloud Atlas. These are films to talk about and think about for days. But this is an awesome year for movies, because in a couple weeks we'll also be getting...

Now we have another full-length trailer which once again spells out the plot—Django (Jamie Foxx) teams up with a bounty...
In 1992, Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs hit Sundance like a ton of bricks. Though it didn't win the main prize, it was easily the most buzzed about film at the festival. The film hit theaters October 23, 1992, and for the last twenty years cinema has been under the influence of the king dork. To celebrate his reign, there's now a Blu-ray box set of eight of his...

The Godfather Part III? Well, you may not be surprised to know these and many more have been ranked in the Top 50 most disappointing movies...
Even though shooting has wrapped, we've heard that Django Unchained lost another cast member. Anthony LaPaglia, who was originally in the movie, had to bail because of the film's long shooting schedule. He will be in Robert Connolly's film Underground, which is about Julian Assange and the wikileaks case.
