Sebastian — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:59:25 +0000

Seventeen years after it had been stolen, TMZ quotes police sources saying the vintage ’65 Chevrolet Malibu reappeared on the Oakland premises of a car thief that had been arrested for an unrelated matter. The signature car, featured in Pulp Fiction, was stolen outside Quentin Tarantino‘s house almost two decades ago and it disappeared without a trace. Fans recall the scene where John Travolta‘s Vincent Vega takes Uma Thurman‘s Mia Wallace to Jack Rabbit ...

Happy 50th Birthday, Quentin Tarantino

Sebastian — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:50:32 +0000

Fifty years ago, back in the good old days – even before the Vanishing Point days – young Quentin entered this world. “Action!” he must have yelled then to his mum Connie. When he was two, they moved to Los Angeles, and before Quentin Jerome Tarantino turned a teenager, he had already seen more movies than most people. In his twenties he started working at the Manhattan Beach Video Archives, where he made some ...

(Deutsche Version) Just in time for Django Unchained, a box of Tarantino’s first 20 years of filmmaking were released (fans hope/know there’ll be another 20 years of awesome movies, despite of what he says in interviews). Titled “Tarantino XX”, the box boasts all his feature directorial efforts plus True Romance, plus some exclusive extras. It is a BluRay box, however markets like Germany also get the DVD treatment, due to low penetration of the ...

With all the other awards the last few weeks, with all their acronyms of guilds, like PGA, DGA, WGA etc, and the Globes and the Spirit Awards and all those predictions ( the most interesting actually an article in Forbes) it is now crunchtime and we’ll see with how many Oscars Django Unchained will go home with tonight.

Django Unchained takes home 2 Golden Globes

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:32:28 +0000

After a much-hyped nomination month, stars took to the red carpet last night for the Golden Globes, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Django Unchained was nominated in several categories, and as the Globes are sometimes considered a precursor to the Oscars, the mood was tense and hopeful. The Globes are a mainly TV event, and don’t drag on as much as the Academy Awards. Without further ado, the first Globe went to Christoph ...

The verdict is in. Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have cast their ballots in a – not altogether smooth (there had been glitches in the electronic voting process employed this year) – process over the last few weeks, and the nominations for the “Oscar” are in. Some of these do not come as a surprise, but there are some omissions – cruel as always. The Golden Globes will ...

Western Unchained – Tarantino’s Spaghetti Western favorites

Sebastian — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:25:12 +0000

Quentin Tarantino has opened the eyes of many, especially among the younger generation, to a world of cinema that has otherwise not received the public attention it should have. Foreign films, old kung fu movies, European classics, Spaghetti Westerns, Filipino low-budget action movies, classic drive-in flicks of the 60s and 70s, you name it. I personally think it is (among many things) a great achievement that through his movies, he has revived so much ...

If you like Quentin Tarantino… book review

Sebastian — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:40:34 +0000

When I received the book I expected little, thinking it might be a quick cash-in on Django Unchained or yet another mediocre take on the movie universe Quentin Tarantino moves around in. I was positively surprised and read the book in a day. The “If you like…” series I am not familiar with, but I like the concept. It is in fact not a book about the movie references in Tarantino’s films (like we ...

Django Unchained movie review

Sebastian — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 05:20:50 +0000

I’m sitting in Pat & Lorraine’s Coffee Shop on Eagle Rock Boulevard, a few minutes outside Hollywood, having a late breakfast. There is a Reservoir Dogs poster right on the wall by our table. It’s the breakfast diner where the opening breakfast scene for Dogs was filmed, and it is one of its few remaining shooting locations that still exist. I’m discussing last night’s screening of Django Unchained with Michael, a long time veteran ...

First reviews of Django Unchained are obviously positive

Sebastian — Sun, 02 Dec 2012 23:17:57 +0000

With the first invitation-only screenings happening, there’s a bunch of early reviews that we want to reprise here. It seems that people with quite different expectations and viewpoints all come to the conclusion that it’s one hell of an epic, that manages to cleverly walk the line between harsh period piece on a delicate subject (slavery), and an action-heavy western with a good dose of humor. Here are some quotes: … you can’t look ...

After a 126 days of shooting, Django Unchained has wrapped and will be heading for the editing room. It has been an eventful phase of principal photography for Quentin and his crew. Production spanned locations in California (Lone Pine, Los Angeles, etc), Alabama as well as Louisiana (in and around New Orleans) and covered diverse climates from snowy mountains to humid plantation air. Considering that the production of Inglourious Basterds was a fairly studio-centric ...
