Considering how frequently we hear dire news about the market for physical media dying, it sure doesn’t seem like the volume of new Blu-ray and Ultra HD releases has slowed down at all. Quite the opposite, actually. This week brings another huge batch of discs to sort through. Admittedly, not many of this week’s releases...

Now Playing: Tarantino’s ‘Unchained’ Blaxploitation Western

Luke Hickman — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:00:35 +0000

Quentin Tarantino is back at it again, mixing genres and re-writing history, all while purposefully touching on taboo topics and using blatantly inappropriate dialogue. Don’t expect another Best Picture contender here, but ‘Django Unchained’ is a fun, bloody, wordy, cool and unpredictable QT flick. As he did in ‘Inglourious Basterds‘, Christoph Waltz opens this Tarantino...

Two great-looking films are heading our way later this year. Each visits the past when heroes required wit and intelligence to match their skill in a fight. One is from Takashi Miike while the other is the much-anticipated Western from Quentin Tarantino. ‘Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai’ Takashi Miike’s latest film is another samurai feature...

The Netflix Stream: Week of August 7th, 2011

Dick Ward — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:00:49 +0000

Okay, so here’s the deal. Instant Watcher, the site I usually go to for my Netflix information, says that nothing new is coming this week. Streaming Soon, which I use to double-check when Instant Watcher is down, says the same thing. We’re losing titles but gaining nothing in return. Oof. Leaving the Stream ‘Django’ (8/16):...

Cast of Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ Continues to Grow

Luke Hickman — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:00:17 +0000

My name is Luke and I’m an addict. I can’t get enough Quentin Tarantino. My college senior thesis was an extensive essay analyzing the roles of women in the director’s first four films. Being underage, I snuck into ‘Pulp Fiction’ because I had to see it. Even his weakest movie, ‘Jackie Brown’, is still a...
