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 …

Alles wird neu aufgelegt, und im Jungel von Neuauflagen, Steelbooks, Special Editions und Mediamarkt Wühlware kennt sich eh keiner mehr aus.

Wir lichten das Dickicht, was folgt ist eine Aufstellung der aktuell in Deutschland erhältlichen Tarantino Filme …

“Dankeschoen!” he said, visibly moved, after several minutes of applause. A Basterd’s work well done, I thought, when the lights went on and Quentin Tarantino had just ended the second world war – on celluloid.
Fast forward two or so hours earlier. The Berlin premiere of Inglourious Basterds, probably the movie’s biggest worldwide (aside from the one in Cannes a few weeks ago) was one hell of an event. Fans had lined up outside the …

Extras in full battle gear running down a street, Daniel Bruehl as a sniper on a building top. A massacre in the making? Click here for a whole series of pictures from the set in Goerlitz, Germany. Thanks to Pia for the heads up. There’s still considerable speculation even among those who’ve read the script as to what exactly these pictures show. All signs point toward the movie-within-the-movie (or a ‘Wochenschau’ bit) that establishes …

Here’s a little update on the production status of Inglourious Basterds. Currently, the whole crew is in a small town called Nauen, Germany where preparations are on the way for a few night time shoots dealing with key scenes involving the Basterds, Aldo Raine, von Hammersmark and lots of bullets flying. A traditional looking street has been turned into that of an old french town called Nadine, and one of the houses disguised as …

Happy monday everyone. While I still don’t have a personal broadband connection, at least I found the time to plant myself (“I said plant, plants don’t talk”) in the library and sift through the millions of emails that have gathered up over the last few weeks while I was moving to a new city. For those who don’t know I officially started grad school today, but don’t worry, I’ve said it years ago and …

When trucks, cars and trailers pull up to a few acres of farmland in the state of Saxony, Germany, on October 8th, it’ll be the crew of Inglorious Basterds. The production has secured a neat hilltop field from a local farmer and had Babelsberg Studios construction teams erect a small French farmhouse, which will be the setting of the movie’s opening sequence. CLICK HERE to head over to our Inglorious Bastards pictures page, where …

From what we can gather, rehearsing on Inglorious Basterds started today, after a joint dinner with cast and crew in Berlin yesterday, that was well-received by some paparazzis (we suspect pictures of a drunk Til Schweiger very soon, probably). Reportedly, shooting will begin in the German state of Saxony on October 6th already, in an area called the Elbsandstein mountains (rumor) and production will then move to Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam near Berlin on …

Infected People don’t get much lovin’ from the German film ratings board these days. The BPJS, the Germany regulatory body where the buck stops in terms of film ratings has decided to classify Robert Rodriguez‘ splatter extravaganza Planet Terror as a hazard to adolescents and is including it it it’s “Index” on List part A, to be officially announced September 30th. The ban means that the movie will no longer be allowed to be …

That groovy 6-Disc edition of Grindhouse in Japan still bears a somewhat hefty price, so all you importers might want to consider  taking a look at the upcoming German 2-Disc Limited Collector’s Edition that will hit German DVD stores September 22. We bring you the final cover artwork for this edition that’s most likely going to be a gas-can style packaged deal selling for around 30 Euros. In addition to German Dolby and DTS …

Did you just get a heart attack as you read that headline? I hope not. Because aside from Japan, where the film is already available as a 6 DVD box, the movie has only just been announced in Germany. No details are yet confirmed aside from the fact that it is probably Grindhouse only, without the two movies extra as in Japan, also no word yet on bonus features or language tracks, so far …

While stumbling by Regensburg’s (Germany) Garbo theater the other night, I noticed a sign that said “Ab morgen: Grindhouse” (opening tomorrow: Grindhouse), so I went online this week, and I was positively surprised. The German theatrical release date for Grindhouse is in fact the 3rd of July, the movie is actually coming out! The particular theater is actually having an exclusive pre-premiere, and their website sais there will only be two copies of the …
