Quentin Tarantino is no stranger to violence on screen. This is a filmmaker who loves to be pretty shocking when it comes to the gore associated with death, and it’s a staple of his work dating back to his first feature, “Reservoir Dogs.” And apparently, his depiction of violence on screen was enough to force Cannes to introduce a new warning label for some films.

Channing Tatum is the latest star to weigh in about his worries about the future of streaming.

In a split ruling today, a state appeals court panel reinstated a grant of parole for former Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, overturning an earlier decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom to block her release.

Quentin Tarantino has shared his thoughts on movie streaming saying that it’s almost as if they do not exist in the zeitgeist.In an interview with Deadline, the famed director discussed his “retirement” from filmography, and reflected on a statement he made in 2009 about him being out of the movie business at age 60.Here, he shared that he has always believed that films were made for cinematic release and that, because of streaming, the motion picture doesn’t exist anymore.“I like the idea of giving it my all for 30 years and then saying, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ And I don’t like working to diminishing returns. And I mean, now is a good time because I mean, what even is a motion picture anyway anymore? Is it just something that they show on Apple? That would be diminishing returns,” he said.He continued: “I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them.

He died on Thursday (May 25) at an assisted care facility in Austin, Texas.Born in 1933, in Walla Walla, Washington, Kent’s first acting role came in 1959, and while he appeared in a handful of acting roles across the decades that would follow, his most memorable and notorious work came as a stuntman.Over the years, he suffered a host of serious injuries while at work, and gave up the work in 2002 after damaging his leg on set for Bubba Ho-Tep.From then until close to his death, he continued to work as a stunt co-ordinator. His last credit came on 2019’s Sex Terrorists On Wheels.

Two era-defining sitcom roles prove that in Hollywood, lightning can strike twice. Mary Tyler Moore’s turn as Laura Petrie in “The Dick Van Dyke Show” in the 1960s was followed a decade later with the groundbreaking “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Going from playing a housewife to a single career woman when second-wave feminism was in full force puts Moore at the center of a conversation about role models and representation—a conversation she wasn’t always comfortable being the face of.

Brent Lang Executive Editor The Bride is back. Lionsgate said it is releasing a new and remastered 4K edition of “Kill Bill” to coincide with the Quentin Tarantino film’s 20th anniversary at the end of the year. No word yet on what kind of extras and added footage that version may or may not include. But it does come as Lionsgate announced on its quarterly earnings call that it has landed distribution rights to both “Kill Bill” films and “Jackie Brown.” That gives the company the largest portfolio of Tarantino movies. Lionsgate also has the rights to “Reservoir Dogs,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Django Unchained,” “The Hateful Eight” and “Death Proof.” Most of those movies were initially released by The Weinstein Company or Miramax. Some of those movies later became available after the Weinstein Company went bankrupt after its founder Harvey Weinstein was accused by dozens of women of sexual abuse, harassment and assault.

Lionsgate said today it’s partnered with Quentin Tarantino for distribution rights to three of the director’s iconic films – Kill Bill Volumes I & II and Jackie Brown.
