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 …

Django Unchained ( www.djangounchained.de) ist seit gestern fast weltweit in den Kinos dieser Welt.

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 …

Sons of bitches! Calvin Candie is pissed, because Django and Dr Schultz are playing him for a fool!? What does that have to do with Django being a silver-tongued devil, and why does Don Johnson‘s character think they won’t make the county line? It all comes together in this new, furious, international Django Unchained trailer. No, it is not more or less spoilerific than the previous ones, but if you have been following the …

Retrospective articles usually aren’t very insightful and bear no news, but CNN‘s Mairy Mackay goes at it and has published a nevertheless nice retrospective piece about Quentin Tarantino, which doesn’t either. The article draws a line from QT’s first experiences at the Sundance Film Festival where he worked on, and then premiered, Reservoir Dogs, through his even bigger breakthrough with his masterpiece Pulp Fiction and his two-part epic Kill Bill, to Grindhouse‘s Death Proof. …
