A 4K Steelbook! Haven’t seen this show lately, and discovered that it holds up remarkably well. Mr. Qt’s sophomore outing made an indelible mark on American movies — the darling of hipster crime filmmaking dazzled viewers with showcase set-piece scenes, entertainingly profane dialogue and ultra-hip inside-out time-shuffling narrative tricks. Add to that genuine star turns, especially Uma Thurman and John Travolta’s iconic dance scene. It’s old-fashioned movie-going in an avant-garde pattern, with raw violence and even rougher language. The stars include Samuel L. Jackson, Harvy Keitel, Ving Rhames, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer and Bruce Willis.

Quentin Tarantino’s first feature may not be to all tastes, but it is an admirable feat of commercial filmmaking — what other director has broken into the front rank with such panache? The fifth time through, the splintered, elliptical structure still impresses, and there’s always something new to see in the performances of Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, and Steve Buscemi. The (rather bargain-priced) 4K disc set has everything — two formats, a digital code and those deleted scenes to ponder. And a Pulp Fiction 4K is due in just a week or so.

Quentin Tarantino followed up his second directorial effort and cult classic "Pulp Fiction" with the 1997 crime film "Jackie Brown." An homage to the blaxploitation movies of the '70s, the film stars Pam Grier -- an icon from those blaxploitation flicks -- as the titular character, a Los Angeles flight attendant who gets entangled in a cat and mouse chase between the feds and Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), a gunrunner for whom she smuggles drugs and money.
Though some consider "Jackie Brown" to be one of Tarantino's most underrated movies, it is an anomaly in his filmography. Not only is "Jackie Brown" the sole Tarantino movie adapted from a previous work (it's based on Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch"), it also lacks that certain oomph that has made the director both one of the most popular and controversial filmmakers of the modern era.

Tagline: "Pray the Lord My Soul to Keep." While We Sleep is an upcoming possessed themed horror film. From cinematographer Andrzej Sekula (Cube²: Hypercube), this indie feature was written by: Brian Gross (Dream Killer) and Rich Ronat. Now, a new poster has been released for this supernatural feature, which has been in production since at least 2019. Starring Jacy King (Killer Island) and Oliver Trevena, the film's latest movie poster is showing here. The graphic shows a young girl, demonically possessed. Flames emerge from her face as a priest tries to turn back the Devil. However, this family's corruption might be too much for this one priest. While We Sleep is being repped by Vmi Worldwide, for a future release. Set to show in 2021 at some point, an older trailer is available below, in case horror fans missed it. As well, a more specific release date will be announced soon,...

The ‘Deadwood’ creator comes aboard a potential third season.
It’s been a long, strange trip to be sure, and we’re not exactly there yet, but it would seem that the dark spot of gritty storytelling on the horizon could just be the long-awaited and thought-ill-fated third season of the HBO series True Detective.
Following abysmal second season ratings and response, Nic Pizzolatto’s crime-centric character study seemed destined for the televisual graveyard. Since season two bowed, there’s been no word either way as to the fate of True Detective, it’s just been sitting there in our cultural cloud, suspended in network ether. Most folks, myself included, have considered the show dead for at least a year of its two-year hiatus; Pizzolatto signing an additional development deal with HBO in 2016 seemed to be the final nail in the coffin, but then out of pretty much nowhere EW today dropped a pair of exclusive bombshells...

The trunk shot (and reverse trunk shot), blood-stained flowers, the ubiquitous dance scene, the god’s-eye Pov, the foot fetish (“Wiggle Your Big Toe!”), the lip close-up (an homage to “The Warriors,” I’d bet), these are all undeniably Quentin Tarantino. A savvy, brilliant auteur in his own right, Tarantino is an instantly recognizable director –– and an unforgettably shrewd student of film. His admiration for the craft and encyclopedic knowledge of practically every genre aid in that notoriety and keep us longing for whatever he’s going to grace us with next. Read More: The 5 Best Films Of Quentin Tarantino Ollie Paxton has created this stunning mashup of Tarantino’s arresting films, featuring the cinematography of Andrzej Sekula (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction”), Guillermo Navarro (“Jackie Brown”), Robert Richardson (“Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” “Kill Bill: Vol. 2,” “Inglorious Basterds,” and “Django Unchained”), and Tarantino’s own turn (“Death Proof”).

“The Man from Hollywood” 1995
Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Following Pulp Fiction and an episode of television’s ER, Tarantino decided to handle some light fare by directing the final short in the anthology film Four Rooms. In “The Man from Hollywood” Ted the bellboy (Tim Roth) arrives at the penthouse with a cart full of seemingly unconnected items. After a night filled with witches, psycho-sexual drama, and a babysitting job gone horribly awry, Ted is on the verge of quitting when beckoned to the penthouse by movie director Chester Rush (Tarantino). Right out of the gate Tarantino directs with the zeal of Rope, using two consecutive one takes or long takes, the second of which clocks in just shy of ten minutes with out a single cut. These long takes introduces: (1) all of the characters in a near 360 degree shot around the room; (2) Rush’s monologue about the...

Betsy Heimann’s costume design for Reservoir Dogs (1992) spawned a legacy in pop culture and fashion that is still being felt today. Heimann and director Quentin Tarantino determined a cinematic sub-genre by redefining the appearance of the petty gangster. From shambolic to symbolic; a man in a black suit, white shirt and black tie walking in slow motion is possibly the single most memorable costume image of the nineties.
Here, talking exclusively to Clothes on Film, Ms. Heimann describes how the Reservoir Dogs look came together:
“I am very pleased that the narrow silhouette I created influenced and still influences men’s fashion” she offers. “I think that Quentin is responsible for the pop culture legacy of the film. The characters and the mood are contagious, just like Quentin’s enthusiasm for filmmaking.

Chicago – Two actors who made a mark in film during the 1980s did it at different points in their lives. Anthony Michael Hall was a teen idol, channeling director John Hughes in “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles.” Lou Gossett Jr. won a mid-career Oscar for his role in 1982’s “An Officer and a Gentleman.”
Both men made an appearance at the 2011 Chicago Wizard World Comic Con, interacting with admirers and signing autographs. HollywoodChicago.com got the opportunity to interview each of them about their lives and careers then and now.

Pulp Fiction Blu-Ray Lionsgate Home Entertainment 1994/Rated R/154 mins List Price: $19.99 – Available October 4, 2011 Pulp Fiction was one of those event films you could feel coming months before it hit theaters. I remember greatly anticipating its debut for the summer of 1994 only to hear Quentin Tarantino's second feature had been pushed back to Fall after it won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It began to generate incredible buzz after audiences were amazed at the kind of beautifully structured collage of stories and images that unspooled before them. Us audiences were equally engrossed, as the film caused debate and controversy, with word-of-mouth rocketing the 8 million dollar production past the 100 million mark. In addition, the picture gave a huge kick to the careers of John Travolta and many others. The film stars John Travolta as Vincent Vega, a hitman who we first see working with his partner Jules (Samuel L. Jackson...

A return to the Cube universe is on it's way thanks to the folks at Lionsgate who are currently reviewing pitches for Cube 3D.
A source close to the project says it is either a direct sequel, a reboot or a redo of the 1997 sci-fi/horror thriller from director Vincenzo Natali (Splice), about "a group of strangers who were confined to a series of rooms, each one containing (or not) a lethal device." That movie came out before the studios Saw franchise.
There was a a sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, in 2002 which was directed by Andrzej Sekula, the cinematographer known for his work on Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. A prequel, Cube: Zero, followed.
This news is still very fresh, so keep an eye out for further updates. What are your thoughts, are you looking forward to Cube 3D?...

It’s back to the “Cube” again. Lionsgate is soliciting pitches for “Cube 3D,” according to ShockTillYouDrop. It is not clear on whether the film would be the third part of a complete reboot of the franchise. In the original 1997 science fiction horror “Cube,” the tale is about seven complete strangers with different personalities involuntarily placed into a maze full of deadly traps. The original film was directed by Vincenzo Natali (“Splice,” “Ginger Snaps”). It starred Nicole de Boer (“Stephen King’s Dead Zone,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), Maurice Dean Wint (“RoboCop: Prime Directives,” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”) and David Hewlett (“Stargate: Atlantis,” “Splice”). There was also a follow up 2002 sequel called, “Cube 2: Hypercube.” In this version, eight strangers need to escape the “hypercube” and discovered they are in a strange fourth dimension where the laws of physics do not apply. The film was directed by Andrzej Sekula (“The Pleasure Drivers,...

Styd is reporting that Lionsgate is currently fielding pitches for Cube 3D. No definitive word yet on whether the new film is being considered a sequel or a reboot, though I expect that would depend on what they are pitched.
I'm sure Quiet Earth readers need no introduction to the 1997 Canadian scifi movie from Vincenzo Natali (Splice), but if so, it's about a group of people who find themselves trapped inside a never ending series of cube rooms full of deadly traps.
Cube spawned the 2002 sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, directed by Andrzej Sekula, and a third film, Cube Zero, which is actually a prequel, showing us an early, lower tech version of the cube.

And why wouldn.t they be? Their last horror franchise, Saw, has just mercifully hit the end of its seven-movie-too-long run, so the distributor will need to fill that void with something and it might as well be another horror franchise they can run into the ground with 3D. Directed by Vincenzo Natali, who recently released Splice, Cube hit theaters in 1997 and follows the story of seven kidnapped strangers who find themselves trapped in a cube of cubes, trying to navigate through the traps each cube may or may not contain. It was a great piece or psychological horror and even had a dash of comedy thrown into the mix, quickly becoming a cult favorite. It was followed up by Cube 2: Hypercube, an ambitious but failed outing by Reservoir Dogs cinematographer Andrzej Sekula. The latest in the Cube series, Cube Zero, was a prequel to the original and tied...

Lionsgate is presently fielding pitches for Cube 3D , a source tells us. That's right, it's either a direct sequel, a reboot or a redo of the 1997 sci-fi/horror thriller which actually preceded the Lionsgate's fixation on a certain franchise that also heavily utilized enclosed spaces, strangers and traps ( Saw ). The original Cube put director Vincenzo Natali ( Splice ) on the genre map and concerned a group of strangers who were confined to a series of rooms, each one containing (or not) a lethal device. Cube spawned a 2002 sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube , directed by Andrzej Sekula, the cinematographer known for his work on Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction .

Fifty-one minutes. That's all the time they have to steal forty-two million dollars. A fool proof plan -- except that fool proof plans rarely are. In the film "Armored," six armored truck drivers attempt to fake their own hijacking, until things go wrong. Very wrong. And six lives are changed forever. As past heist-gone-wrong movies have played out, Armored (2009) involves five veteran drivers who try to convince rookie Ty Hackett, played by Columbus Short, to join them in a plot to rob their own company. Hackett, a young Gulf War veteran who's shell-shocked and short on money, faces the usual good vs. evil dilemma and engages in a game of mental ping-pong to see which side will win. He ultimately decides to go along with the bad guys, after they promise that no one gets hurt. When the plan goes awry and takes a violent turn, Ty must make another decision -- stay,...
