Until recently, Roger Avary was a respected if controversial writer/director, best known for "Rules Of Attraction" (easily the best of the Bret Easton Ellis adaptations) and for breaking up with video store-days friend Quentin Tarantino over accusations he was shafted on credit for the "Pulp...

On the press tour that will not end, Quentin Tarantino took a break from dishing about his favorite films and talking up "Inglourious Basterds" to shed some light on the lone film directed by his bosses, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, on last night's episode of Craig Ferguson. Following an amusing...

By Steven Zeitchik It's still not likely, but 10 days into the release of "Inglourious Basterds," there's an outside chance the WWII pic could become Quentin Tarantino's biggest grosser ever. The revenge-fantasy/character ensemble...

Over the weekend, "Inglourious Basterds" went from a film with a mixed Cannes reputation as Tarantino's least-productively talky to being a box office conqueror. If critics are still split, the general public seems surprisingly united in loving it. As Sharon Waxman reports, the Weinsteins...

By Steven Zeitchik The focus for this weekend has been all about the Weinsteins, their future and other unanswerable questions rehashed by the New York Times. But the little secret behind the opening of "Inglourious Basterds" this Friday is...

So far over this press tour, we've learned about his 20 favorite recent films (including Woody Allen's "Anything Else"!) and 20 favorite movie posters, but Quentin Tarantino still saved plenty of his top fetishes for the film itself, finding unexpected ways to insert Samuel L. Jackson's...

Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" comes out next Friday, but the deluge of negative advance press seems to indicate we should be bored already. Quentin! Always with the talking and the self-indulgence and the references. He doesn't make it easy on himself; unlike Wes Anderson...

By Steven Zeitchik We're personally not the sort to call the spectacle of men locking their legs around each other's necks while thousands watch in frenzied enthusiasm the pinnacle of modern sport. But a lot of young males who follow... Read More...

By Steven Zeitchik Pretty much everyone agrees that "Inglourious Basterds" needs some cuts ahead of its August release -- including Tarantino himself, who's all but said as much. The question is -- where does it need them most, and how....
-
By Steven Zeitchik The early word on Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is that it's a talkie movie -- much talkier than the action-heavy trailer would have you believe (and which squares with Tarantino's claim to us in our...

Quentin Tarantino's a great writer of dialogue, and no one's more convinced of the fact than Quentin Tarantino. The ratio of talk to action -- not gun fights or explosions, but just people doing stuff -- in "Inglourious Basterds" is, generously, nine to one. Again and again, characters...

The competition line-up for this year's Cannes Film Festival has been announced! A fair amount of Euro provocateurs -- Lars von Trier, Gaspar Noé, Michael Haneke -- and France in general, and only two American films, the expected Tarantino and the unexpected Ang Lee comedy, which hopefully has more...

What the... After a season of World War II movies, Quentin Tarantino will ride in this August, according to this new trailer, with plenty of bootkicking of the jack-booted in his recently wrapped "Inglorious Basterds." Basic plot line: Brad...

August, it's been real. Jim Ridley on "Disaster Movie" at the Village Voice: "Best text message sent from my screening (it wasn't me, but I certainly sympathized): 'I want to die.' " But he's outdone by Nick Pinkerton, reviewing "College" at the same...

I'm catching up from a few days off the grid, so it's still news to me that the Telegraph reported last week that Britney Spears may or may not have been picked by Quentin Tarantino to play Varla in a remake of the Russ Meyer's 1965 "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" that may or may...
