  • The Hateful Eight

    Holy shit did I ever love this movie. I was absolutely mesmerized from start to finish, to a point where I barely felt the time go by, which is saying something for a 3-hour film (I didn’t even want it to end). With everything Tarantino so fresh in my mind, although I still can’t say…

  • Django Unchained

    And with this, my Tarantino marathon comes to an end (until of course I watch The Hateful Eight). As with Inglourious Basterds, I’d only watched Django Unchained once, and so didn’t remember it as much as I did all the other Tarantino movies I’ve watched over the last few days. Also, I seemed to remember…

  • Inglourious Basterds

    Considering the number of times I’ve watched Tarantino movies in general – especially Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, which I had even on VHS – it was fun watching Inglourious Basterds again because I had only watched it once (and same goes for Django Unchained). I really enjoyed it, much more than I remembered enjoying…

    Watching Kill Bill Vol. 1 tonight, I think I’ve never enjoyed it so much. I remember that when it originally came out, although it felt more satisfying as a Tarantino film than Jackie Brown did, it almost felt too Tarantino-esque, like he was starting to parody himself. As outlandish as Pulp can come off as,…

  • Jackie Brown

    I never really liked Jackie Brown. Watching it again now, it’s easy to see why. After the amazing innovative 1-2 punch of Dogs and Pulp, he follows up with what feels like such a “regular” movie. I won’t go so far as to say I actively dislike it – and I actually quite enjoyed watching it…

  • Pulp Fiction

    Although it’s also been quite a while since I last revisited Pulp Fiction, I was worried heading into it that it would be too familiar, and not as good as I remembered. Well, quite the opposite, not only did I enjoy this almost as much as when I watched it (over and over) back in…

  • Reservoir Dogs

    I still haven’t seen The Hateful Eight (and I do want to see it), but in the meantime I’ve decided to revisit all of the films Tarantino has directed, in order. I of course have fond memories of Reservoir Dogs – and it remains my favorite movie soundtrack (not score) ever – but it’s a movie I…

  • Quentin Tarantino Shills for Softbank

    First Brad Pitt, now it’s Quentin Tarantino’s turn to appear in ads for Softbank. Unlike Pitt’s CMs, Tarantino will be joining the “cast” of the regular series of “White Family” ads (named after one of the mobile provider’s plans) as a wacky uncle. The video above, courtesy of The Japan Times, shows a preview. Via…

  • Inglourious Refund

    How’s this for a promotion: Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds opens in Japan on November 20, and the distributor is offering a money-back guarantee during the first four days of release. This means if you leave the film within the first hour of the film, you get your ticket refunded. Not a bad way to promote…
