News update, Critics Choice and more

Recently, I’ve come to realize that unless I post a tiny news entry about everything that comes into my inbox, I end up with posts like this one. But I can’t help it, a blog isn’t a Twitter feed. Check out this article where Tarantino talks about violence (article), this one where he wants to be like Howard Hawks (article), or this one where he talks about Vinnie Jones who is with Celebrity Big ...

Variety somewhat chimes in on the Morricone story

Sebastian — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:56:33 +0000

A couple of days after we reported that Ennio Morricone is in talks to score Inglourious Basterds, Variety now posts some quotes by ‘il maestro’ about the deal. They quote the master saying that “[Tarantino] has to deliver it by the end of April in time for Cannes [which] doesn’t leave me enough time to do the music. Either I start working on it before he stops shooting — after we discuss it together ...

The sound of Hell Ride

Sebastian — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:18:49 +0000

Usually, you’d see the soundtrack CD of a new movie in stores weeks before the movie comes out. That is – unfortunately – not the case with Hell Ride. A deal with Decca Records seems not to have translated into available Amazon pre-orders of any sort yet. But there’s hope. The film is already listed on DVD, and it is now hitting Europe (going directly to DVD in Sweden on August 27 already, followed ...

Students of our Kill Bill movie references guide (which will be getting an overhaul pretty soon, we promise!) will know, that one of the pivotal influences on Tarantino’s filmmaking are Spaghetti Westerns. One of them, or should I say one of the most famous, is getting a DVD release in the United States next week. Navajo Joe starring Burt Reynolds, directed by “the other Sergio” Sergio Corbucci. This is not only exciting for ...
