Review: Tarantino XX BluRay box set

Sebastian — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:25:00 +0000

(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 ...

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 ...

Grindhouse (the theatrical experience of April 2007 with versions of Planet Terror and Death Proof previously unseen on home video, including fake trailers Machete, Don’t, Thanksgiving, Werewolf Women of the SS) is out on BluRay today! Fans have waited three years to see this happen.

Closer to Oscars, Basterds collects

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:34:18 +0000

As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction in ’95, ...

Inglourious Basterds has finally hit Japan, and it hit hard. Here are a few pictures from the premiere. Click here also for posters. The film premiered in the capital Tokyo with Quentin Tarantino, Melanie Laurent, Julie Dreyfus and a raggedy-bearded Brad Pitt in attendance. According to Boxofficemojo.com, the movie has made quite an enormous amount of box-office box internationally, yet their tally of numbers seems far from complete.

Sebastian — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:37:15 +0000

Basterds is still making money like crazy (Source: ABC) and it’s still keeping columnists busy (this one: click; still gets the name wrong and some other things, but it’s a good read). At the same time, the BluRay and DVD release definitely seems to be going down before christmas (Source), so we are now trying to keep our Basterds DVD and BluRay overview page updated as much as possible.

Just when I tried to calm things down in me previous post, which some might’ve considered as some sort of a rant against those Kill Bill Vol3 stories, more “new Tarantino movie” rumors are popping up.

Grindhouse to hit BluRay before Inglourious Basterds?

Sebastian — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 14:01:02 +0000

While the majority of Tarantino fans are probably waiting for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair to hit DVD shelves this August for synergy effects related to the theatrical release of Inglourious Basterds, it seems like that fortune is reserved for Grindhouse. Press releases seem to indicate, according to BD News, that Genius Products, the WeinsteinCo’s home video distribution arm, is set to release Grindhouse on a 2-disc BluRay set on August 11. No ...

Hello I’m back, and via Cinema Blend comes some news related to a possible Grindhouse release in the US later this year. The movie as it was originally shown there in theaters has never seen the inside of a DVD player except in Japan, so fans are eagerly waiting for this (and *sigh* yes also for the Kill Bill Whole Bloody Affair).

I have to say I do not personally own high definition equipment, currently I don’t even own a TV or DVD player. But one thing that has puzzled me these past few months is how much love Death Proof got from BluRay Disc reviewers. When reviewing DVDs or BluRay of course the main aspect is the disc quality, extras and such like, and the movie is only part of the final verdict, but still, ...

Guess what, bikers, I’ve finally seen Hell Ride. And to mark the occasion, I watched it twice and cooked up a review that is – for a change – not safe for work (NSFW). The review is full of slightly foul language and lots of pictures of naked women (DVD screenshots).

When it comes to TV series, our friends in Britain run a very bizarre business. Most British TV series do not run for a very long time, in the case of Spaced only two seasons, and there’s a flurry of funny little shows every other year, leading as a whole to lots of diversity and fun, but also to danger of things falling under the radar.

More clarification on German and Japanese Grindhouse DVDs

Sebastian — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:54:25 +0000

As we reported earlier, the upcoming German DVD release of Grindhouse will be in a 1.85:1 format, which means Death Proof (which was shot in open-matte Super35mm or something, I guess) will be slightly more ‘open’ than its theatrical exhibition of 2.35:1 cinemascope format. The producers of the German DVD have confirmed that this is the official PAL master from The Weinstein Company, and they have also let it be known that the Japanese ...
