Quentin Tarantino‘s latest .44 magnum opus Django Unchained marks his first foray into the Western genre (well, it’s actually more of a Southern) and also gives us his take on the “hero origin” story. Unlike his epic Kill Bill where we don’t know how the story of Beatrix Kiddo aka Black Mamba/The Bride began, the saga of Django shows us his transformation from slave to folkloric legend. The opening scenes [read...] 
Four Rooms is an anthology (mostly comedy) of four stories each one by a different writer/director (Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino). Tim Roth stars as Ted The Bellhop, the character that connects the stories together. Each one takes place in a different room of the hotel that Ted works at. It’s New Year’s Eve and everybody is celebrating but Ted is practically alone and has to [read...] 
When film fans heard that RZA would be directing his own martial arts extravaganza, they immediately went ballistic and couldn’t wait to see just what the musician/actor/writer/director would come up with. If you know of RZA and The Wu-Tang Clan, then you’re already aware he is an expert and lifelong aficionado of kung fu cinema. He’s seen everything released in the genre from Shaw Brothers classics to Golden Harvest and [read...] 
From Dusk Till Dawn is a cult classic completely deserving of the title and really underrated. The mainstream audience generally liked the first half of the movie, but once they get to the bar and the movie completely changes its style, tone and pace most people stop liking it. The main reason is not that they wouldn’t like the two parts separately, people simply don’t like being surprised by movies. [read...] 
It will come as no surprise for us to say that we can’t wait to see Quentin Tarantino‘s latest film Django Unchained when it hits theaters next December. In the meantime we’ve decided to put together a special list of films that we think will get Tarantino geeks in the right frame of mind for what they’ll be seeing when Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz ride across the silver screen.

Throughout the 1970s and 80s, The Z Channel was a dream come true for lovers of cinema. On Z, you could see every kind of film, from European Arthouse cinema to Hollywood blockbusters. Z was essentially the first pay cable channel to run movies 24 hours a day, well before the advent of such mainstays as HBO and Showtime. This excellent documentary by Xan Cassavetes (the daughter of the legendary [read...] 
“I thought DePalma’s Raising Cain (pic below) was a blast. I had a total blast out of watching it. But part of the fun about the movie – which I don’t know, if the studio liked it that much – was the fact that it almost, the whole thing works to annoy the viewer because, it, like- you’ve got a man [DePalma] who’s like- ‘Look, I created, more or less, [read...] 
Brown. Jackie Brown. Quentin Tarantino’s throwback to the blaxploitation days is a magnificent LA tale that split the critics and the fans, but is by some considered to be the director’s finest movie. We take a look back at this cult favorite (based on a novel by Elmore Leonard), made possible by the recent availability on BluRay. Click the following soundclip to have some soundtrack grooves while you read…. INTRODUCTION [read...] We had an debate about which landmark tune from a Tarantino movie to include in this Top 10 list, especially it is also to celebrate The Quentin Tarantino Archives’ 10th anniversary. Originally, I was going for Stuck in the Middle With You, and its furious associations. Gerry Rafferty’s recent passing would’ve made this all the more relevant.
