Quentin Tarantino keeps hinting that once he has given up directing he will become a writer, not just of epic character-driven, narrative-bending novels but also of film criticism. I imagine that one day we will see him host his own kind of Siskel &#38; Ebert sydincated movie talk show. 

And he would be damn good at it too. Right now, I'm putting my hat in the ring to be the co-host of Holmes &#38; Tarantino: At The Movies!

As part of a Sky Movies "take over" that Quentin did to promote Inglourious Basterds last month, the always game director filmed an introduction/analysis of eight films he wanted to screen for the channel, the most passionate being his take on Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi offering Sunshine. 



His review is 1000000% accurate and I agree with every damn word of it. Even to what he calls "a betrayal" of a third act which in my original review, I opted to use the word "sickening" instead.


From my 08.04.07 review...
There is a moment 2/3rd's into the film, where you are completely in the hands of the storytelling masters and the tale they have crafted when BOOM... like the thundering Titanic after it hit the iceberg, the movie ...]]></description>

Although I am known in these parts as a Quentin Tarantino hater, let me just emphasize that I think Tarantino is a unique stylist with a keen instinct for catchy dialogue. He is also a master of turning a scene on its ear in order to maximize tension.

That said, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is self-indulgent nonsense.



The film is essentially about nothing at all, but it is tangentially about a group of people trying to thwart the Nazi takeover of Europe during World War 2. It stars Brad Pitt in a ridiculous, "look at me" performance as Lt. Aldo Raine, who is leading a small battalion of Jewish-American fighters into France to kill as many Nazi soldiers as they can. Their ruthlessness becomes legendary among the Nazis, catching the attention of bloodhound Jew killer Landa (Christoph Waltz). The Basterds eventually intersect the revenge plot created by a Jewish cinema owner named Shoshanna (Melanie Laurent), who intends to burn the elite Nazi leaders, including Adolf Hitler.

With BASTERDS, Tarantino has made his fourth film in a row about nothing more than revenge. And like the KILL BILL films, BASTERDS takes place in some sort of fantasy-land slightly divorced from reality. This might be fine, except that ...]]></description>

Well done Quentin, against all the odds it looked like you pulled it through. No critic, box office analyst or even the average "post on movie sites/blog" fan had any faith in Inglourious Basterds making a dime over the weekend but the intriguing and unusual premise gave the general movie-goer a curiosity which accompanied by the "Tarantino Epic factor" which we haven't seen since the Kill Bill saga - has produced surprising but very welcomed results. 

Inglourious Basterds earned $14.3 million on Friday alone in the U.S, and if it holds steady it will shoot up to a $35 million taking by the end of play Sunday. That's an incredible figure by all accounts as we all expected the spaghetti-western meets Tarantino's World War II mostly trashed since Cannes epic to be D.O.A. 

Instead, it will be Tarantino's best performing opening weekend ever and the second biggest in the history of The Weinsteins, a company that so badly needed a hit and were dangerously pinning their hopes on this movie to keep them a float. Well today they have been rewarded for keeping faith in Quentin after Grindhouse. Those days seem so long ago now, thank God.

Before the lame but necessary discussion on how Quentin's film has performed at the box office, let's talk about what really maters to us. The film itself. 

I adore this movie, everything about Inglourious Basterds plays to my yearnings for movies that are about something tangible and real. This movie has so much heart and feeling. So much of a director's passion and soul spewing out in it's refreshingly larger than life characters and situations. 

Quentin gave me everything I could have ever imagined and more from his tale of World War II. A World War II I can relate too, enjoy and feel comfortable with. A WWII with a happy ending, a one with real heroes, villains and everything in between. These are people I have thought about many times in the month since I first saw the movie. I've been thinking about their backstory, how they ended up where they did, what their true motivations were, what adventures they had before and after the movie. 

It's something Quentin has done with EVERY movie he ever made. He gives you characters, but never feels like he needs to tell you everything. That's why they feel so huge. I've got questions in my ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people will have now started to hear the early buzz around Tarantino's latest (thank God for Twitter eh?), and read my frankly profane initial reaction. I stand by it whole-heartedly, and I'm more than willing to indulge Tarantino's proclamation that Inglourious Basterds is a bona-fide masterpiece. You'll notice the plot details are conspicuous by their absence: if you wanted to know them in detail, the script is online (plus the multifarious reviews who have gone Spoiler crazy today), and if you have chosen not to read that I assume me spoiling it now would simply be unwelcome.



Firstly, I feel it necessary to address some of the issues that other early reviews have focused upon negatively. Rad this slowly, take in every word and digest: Inglourious Basterds is a FANTASY film, if you want a realistic war epic, this isnt the place to come (and if you didnt get that from the trailer, then shame on you for not paying attention). It is a hybrid pulp fiction set in World War II, which has to rank as an enormously brave thing to do: the saturation of that particular market is such that I was inclined to think we probably didnt need ...]]></description>

(As usual I'm over on my own deadline and I know a few people have asked me where the fuck is my review, but you know I tend to get all excited when writing my thoughts on big films like this which in the past have been known to end up at 3,00 words, so it sometimes takes me a while. This is as much as I've written so far and I will make sure I finish it soon...)

In Quentin Tarantino's world, it would be movies that defeated the Third Reich. Cinema's uber post-modernist director in his sixth feature film (counting Kill Bill as one movie for this purpose only) has gone beyond simply re-tooling scenes, thoughts, and ideas from past filmic works and has now moved to a larger playing ground altogether - he's remaking history. With Inglourious Basterds, he has remade World War II, and I loved him for it. 

After Public Enemies, it's my second favourite movie of 2009 and one that I know I'm going to revisit a thousand times in the future, hell I've already seen it twice and may go back for a third helping soon. I totally love everything about this picture. The wonderful characters, ...]]></description>

Third Quentin Tarantino post in a day, can you tell I'm a big fan?

Officially the embargo contract that I signed July 22nd with Universal has been lifted as we have now entered the week of release for Inglourious Basterds. But rather than review it today as I had initially planned, instead I'm heading out to see the movie for a second time tonight but the first with an audience of Joe Popcorns.

Sometimes it takes two goes with Quentin to fully digest what's going on, and you get all caught up with the Quentin dialogue. Trying to figure out just where in the blazers the movie is headed takes up most of your concentration, and although I was prepared with a script reading before hand (though granted some 12 months earlier so it was a little hazy), the big changes meant I was still surprised by the direction the movie went in at times.

Having said that, I adored Inglourious Basterds at the press screening I was at last month and it got cheers all around once the credits rolled. Will it be the same with a regular paying audience tonight - the average movie-goer, the ones who went in their droves ...]]></description>

Quentin Tarantino is like a mini-Stan Lee or J.R.R. Tolkien. All the characters he creates for his works are part of a bigger universe he is crafting, a fictional world where all of his stories co-exist with one another. 

Examples include Patricia Arquette's Alabama from True Romance being a former love interest of Harvey Keitel's Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs, or John Travolta's Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction) being the brother of Michael Madsen's Vic Vega (Reservoir Dogs). We too shouldn't forget Sheriff Earl McGraw (Michael Parks) has turned up in From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Death Proof. 

Even conspiracy theorists would claim that Rufus, the piano player from Kill Bill 2 could be Jules from Pulp Fiction after enjoying his time "walking the Earth", as both characters are played by Samuel L. Jackson. 

You could have fun all day playing this game, so I'll get down to it. The Playlist learned from a Q &#38; A session with Tarantino after a screening of Inglourious Basterds last night in Austin, Texas that Eli Roth's psycho "bear jew" Donnie Donowitz, shares the same surname as the movie producer from True Romance Lee Donowitz (Saul Rubinek), and it's no concidence. Donnie is Lee's ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sky Movies asked Quentin Tarantino for his top 20 movies post-1992, the year of Reservoir Dogs' release and the result is the kind of varied list of genres and filmic cultures as you would have expected from him.

Raised eyebrows for a few which I couldn't possibly let slide... Woody Allen's Anything Else (the one with Jason Biggs) and Team America: World Police somehow made it, alongside Police Story 3 - but it's a personal list after all. 

He even finds time to bitch-slap The Matrix sequels (which has ruined the experience for him of watching the original, and I would agree) and wins uber-respect by calling Unbreakable "one of the masterpieces of our time". I've said it for years damnit!

We all know the story. Brash young director Quentin Tarantino, shortly after making the most mature movie of his career with Jackie Brown announced to the world that he wanted to adapt Ian Fleming's James Bond for Sony, making a literal screen adaptation of Fleming's only unfilmed novel Casino Royale with an "out of continuity" Bond that would feature Pierce Brosnan.

Tarantino claimed he would make a Bond movie that would be unlike any of the films. There would be no room for the John Barry score, the opening title credits, the familiar one-liners, the cinematic convention of M/Moneypenny interactions with Bond. The movie would have been set firmly in the cold war era, the time Ian Fleming wrote about. It would be more film noir than Bond - it would be highly stylised and would feature a voice over narration, just like in the novel.

Samuel L. Jackson would most likely be Felix Leiter.

Tarantino was turned down by Sony for seven years, right up until Daniel Craig was cast as the new James Bond - and low and behold, Casino Royale was greenlit as an origin movie for Bond and they went back to the safe choice of Goldeneye helmer Martin ...]]></description>

Two of Quentin Tarantino's favourite films, the two which are firmly rigid on any top ten list he scribes over the years, are the three character Westerns; Rio Bravo, and Serigo Leone's The Good, The Bad &#38; The Ugly. Some pet favourites come and go but those two never change.

With Tarantino's love for re-creating moments, genres and the themes he adores from other movies, you had to believe that sooner rather than later the post-modern director was going to make a film that would celebrate the Western genre.

Speaking to Empire outside of the U.K. Premiere of his new movie Inglourious Basterds, Tarantino mentioned that after "flirting" with the genre for so long, he most definitely still "wants to do a Western" but warns us before we get too excited that he doesn't "even know [what his] next movie's gonna be". ...

So it's not a firm confirmation, just another hint that Tarantino wants to make a cowboy film at some stage. Maybe it will be his next film, maybe it won't. After the jump I talk a little about the Western influences on Tarantino's work and how I think a Tarantino Western might turn out...

		<description><![CDATA[Universal have invited me to an early screening of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds next Wednesday night. The U.K. distributor of the movie have been nothing but gracious with us, and I expect this to be the first of many promotional opportunities that come our way for this movie. I think, they think, it needs all the help it can get.  



But as far as Basterds go, I'm going to be silenced by Universal's SS Guards, they won't let me talk about the movie until the week of release (August 21st). Which we all know is stupidity of the highest order because it's not like no-one has seen this movie yet. We already bloody have at Cannes, as has most of the major film critics of the world.

You can find a full length review HERE from this very site. Idiots. But I will abide your silencing, which they made sure to write includes "Twitter, Facebook and any form of blog".  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Weinsteins have truly had some serious difficulties in promoting Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, a movie that many are calling a decisive release for the longevity of the company.

The screening of Public Enemies I attended on Monday night played one of the early U.S. trailers and it simply fell flat on it's face, crickets were chirping, barrels of hay were rolling around, and a few groans were heard from the 20somethings Tarantino's movie needs to play too for success. 

Sadly at this point, all the signs are he has another Grindhouse flop on his hands. Not because of the film's quality, because from a trailer like this it looks perfectly fine, just because this ain't a large audience pleasing kind of flick.



The U.S. and U.K. trailers have clung on to Brad Pitt with all their might, hopeful that his name recognition and star power will attract mass audiences for a non-mainstream kind of genre (has the Euro-Spaghetti-War movie ever made money?) but what that's done as a negative is that we see the same few Brad Pitt scenes over and over again. We are bored of them now, and the movie doesn't open yet for another eight weeks.

Thankfully as some kind of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harvey Weinstein has been talking to GQ Style magazine about the truth behind the much discussed butchering of the Cannes version of Inglourious Basterds, how the project went from being a Band of Brothers HBO series into an epic motion picture, and also lets slip that Brad Pitt wants to do an Inglourious II, a project Quentin Tarantino has previously mentioned could be a prequel. 

You know, it's the one he said he had "half-written" about African-American soldiers which were previously part of Inglourious Basterds before he cut characters and sub-plots to get it down to a manageable length. 



First on the follow-up, which is barely anything really except...
Brad wants to do Inglorious II. We all want to do it. And the movie hasn’t even come out yet! But unfortunately I cannot give away the plot. 
Guess it depends on how the movie performs in just under two months time. Many analysts have already predicted that the movie is crucial to the future survival of the Weinstein company and whichever way the pendulum swings with audiences is pretty much going to decide whether the company has a future or not. Tarantino has let them down before with Grindhouse (or was it that the U.S. audience let ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The good folks at BadTaste just sent me this hot of the press international one-sheet poster for Inglourious Basterds that I thought I should share with you guys...



I like it, though maybe a little too much white on the edges?

I'm still gloriously excited for Tarantino's new epic despite so many trying to talk down about it's chances, most notably from those who saw the movie in Cannes and didn't know what to make of it. Honestly though, I'm not sure what critics were expecting. If they are famailiar with european war movies of a by-gone era, that is surely what Tarantino gave them?

OWF's Simon Gallagher's loved the film he saw in Cannes but personally mentioned to me that he could sense that lots of scenes had been taken out, most notably the character of Madame Mimieux who is mentioned but not seen. The character had been played by Asian A-list actress Maggie Cheung, but her scenes were cut for time by Tarantino, which brought a great shock to me as I couldn't understand how the scenes with Melanie Laurent's significant character Shosanna Dreyfus would work anywhere near as well without a very important scene between the two early on in the movie. 

And indeed, according ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everytime I watch Pulp Fiction, I'm immensely fond of a two minute tracking shot expertly directed by a still rookie Quentin Tarantino, as we follow Vincent Vega (John Travolta) around the 50's nostalgic diner of Jack Rabbit Slims with some amusement as he suggests some genuine recognition to the sights around him. 



Elvis signing on stage, Doris Day talking to customers, Marilyn Monroe serving drinks, a red car that looks suspiciously like Grease Lightning. 


When watching this scene you have to remember that in the early 90's, Travolta was at the lowest point of his Hollywood career (yes even lower than 2003's monumental failure Battlefield Earth).

The effect of the 1980's on him when he said "No" to things he should have never said "No" to (An Officer and a Gentlemen, Fatal Attraction) and "Yes" to thinks he should have ran a mile away from (Two of a Kind, Perfect, an ill informed sequel to Saturday Night Fever directed by Sly Stallone), had left him unmarketable and disjointed with Hollywood. 

He decided to give up the job entirely at one point to take up flying. Just about the only movie he could be bothered to make in the years before he met Quentin for Pulp Fiction were ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editor's Note: This article was supposed to go up before Simon had seen the movie but it took longer to scribe than I thought. Keep an eye on the homepage and our Twitter account for his updates now that he has called the film "absolute fucking quality". 
I spoke to Simon last night on MSN. He complained about the food over there in Cannes. Not that he thinks it's bad mind you, just that he has been rapidly running out of money to buy it and he claims to have lost almost a stone in just over a week. Concerned, I asked him if he was ok, he told me that the movies had been his fuel and he hadn't much thought about eating out there in truth, he's having the time of his life watching movies all day as his official job. 

He described today, May 20th, as being Christmas with sunshine. He had already booked a taxi to come pick him up in the early hours so he could get a front row seat to see Quentin Tarantino's ten years in the making World War II epic Inglourious Basterds. 



He wanted to catch the movie and feel it before anyone else ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They say Quentin Tarantino's enthusiasm for film is contagious. You find yourself in a room with the man, and his childlike energy and ability to talk faster than a speeding bullet (usually because his brain is already four sentences ahead of you) suddenly becomes part of you, even if he is talking about the most obscure film you could ever imagine.

Or so I hear anyway, I've never met the man... though it is most definitely the feeling I get from seeing him at work, or in interviews. 

Having said that, if I were a member of the cast on Inglourious Basterds and I heard Tarantino go through this routine the eighth or ninth time "let's do it again, why? Because we all love making movies"... I would be about ready to slit my wrists. 



A new behind-the-scenes feature premiered in brief on American Idol last night (where Tarantino was a special guest for Movie Songs Week) but has since been captured in full by Film School Rejects. The footage shows some new glimpses at the film and our first look at a heavily make-upped Mike Myers as British General Ed Fenech, and yes, that's probably the same kind of humour he is going to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somehow the evil basterd has done it. Working day and night, Quentin Tarantino who turned 46 last week has against the odds managed to make an epic World War II ensemble movie in under ten months, ready for it's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. 

Variety report that Tarantino has accepted an invitation for his Inglourious Basterds to play in competition at Cannes and as you know, OWF will be there to report on Brad Pitt and his team's Nazi scalping antics. 



Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight (via QTA) showcased a few new images from a photoshoot in the latest edition of Vanity Fair which is worth your time...


The full line-up for the Cannes film festival will be released on April 23rd. 

Inglourious Basterds will open in the U.K. and U.S. Aug 21st. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's hard to like documentaries. Unlike fiction films which create their own reality, documentaries attempt to manipulate this one and that doesn't always make for good viewing. It can lead to things like the recent AMERICAN TEEN which are clearly just poorly orchestrated versions of reality, there are boring commentaries on reality that just rope in anyone to become a pundit (these are usually reserved for television and often massacre historical subjects with mundane musings), and there are excessively politicized diatribes like those produced by Michael Moore and Morgan Spurlock.

So when I watched NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD it was like a breath of fresh air. Here is a documentary that is many things, all of which should be attractive to a movie fan and none of which are in any way boring, bland or manipulative. This is because NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is all about the forgotten world of Australian genre films, that heady group of movies that sprung up at the birth of the nation's film industry and provided a welcome antidote to the arthouse world that was believed to be so necessary to the character of a national film industry.

Collecting an awesome team of commentators, some amazing anecdotes and ...]]></description>
