Django Unchained: Quentin Tarantino’s Fairy Tale Disguised as a Spaghetti Western

Quentin Tarantino once again demonstrated his knack for homage with Django Unchained. While his earlier films, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, drew inspiration from classic French crime thrillers, Django Unchained looked to the style of Italian Westerns, particularly those directed by Sergio Leone and Enzo Corbucci. These films offered a stark contrast to the more idealistic and polished portrayals of the American West often seen in the work of directors like John Ford and Howard Hawks.

Andrew Garfield Wants The Perfect Marvel Movie With Emma Stone After Sony’s Official Spider-Man Universe Reboot News

Andrew Garfield recently told Hits Radio he’d be open to seeing Emma Stone play Gwen Stacy in a live-action Spider-Man movie.

They Will Kill You Review: Stylish Gorefest Proves The Familiar Can Still Be Fun

What I really appreciate about this movie is that it doesn’t always give you what you expect. They Will Kill You feels driven by a real need to constantly surprise and entertain, and you can practically feel the director, Sokolov, trying to create those moments. It reminds me of something between Tarantino and Raimi, but it doesn’t quite reach their level of polish or comedic timing. Still, it’s a really good time! Zazie Beetz is perfectly cast as the tough, cool lead, and there’s tons of over-the-top, stylish violence that had everyone in the theater laughing.

Daredevil Born Again Finally Rectifies A Major Netflix-Era Mistake In Season 2

As a huge Daredevil fan, I was so excited to see Avengers Tower—you might remember it as Stark Tower—in the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again! It was a quick shot of New York City at night, but it was a really cool nod to the wider Marvel universe. It’s great they finally included it, because honestly, it always felt a little off that it was missing from the skyline in the older Daredevil series and the other Defenders shows. It feels much more connected now!

The 28 Days Later Franchise Needs Its Own Version of Fear the Walking Dead

It’s easy to see similarities between 28 Days Later and The Walking Dead universe – both start with someone waking up after the zombie outbreak has begun. However, 28 Days Later lacks a story showing the very beginning of the crisis. The Walking Dead skipped over the initial outbreak, but its spin-off, Fear the Walking Dead, showed us how it all started in 2015, offering a fresh perspective. We’d love to see that same kind of origin story for 28 Days Later.
