Matchup of the Day
Quentin Tarantino racks up his 49th year today. Let’s pay tribute with two films starring an actress who inspired him:
Jackie Brown vs. Foxy Brown
Foxy Brown and Coffy, both directed by Jack Hill, are the two Blaxploitation films Pam Grier is best known for. Tarantino has gone on record saying that Coffy is one of his favorite movies, and that he is a fan of Hill’s work. When Tarantino adapted the Elmore Leonard novel Rum Punch into the screenplay for Jackie Brown, he specifically had Grier in mind for the title role. Read the rest of this entry »

Directors Who Dominate: Quentin Tarantino
23, Aug 2010
Directors who dominate: No, I’m not talking about directors who demand complete control of everything happening on their set. Well, it’s possible I am talking about those types of directors, as the guy I’m talking about has written the screenplay for every film he’s ever directed (and has acted in most of them). Of course I am talking about the quintessentially awesome, Quentin Tarantino (Oh yes, you can bet I am going to be thinking of Q words for this entire article… are you already sick of my quips?).
When I use the phrase “directors who dominate”, I mean it in the sense of him (or her) dominating Flickchart. Tarantino is easily one of the most dominating directors on my personal Flickchart, and on Flickchart’s global rankings. Let’s take a look at where he stands:

As you can probably tell by this movie leading the way, it’s a bit of a down week for new releases. There are a few solid classics and re-releases though.
Chloe – (DVD and Blu-ray)
Flickchart Ranking: #7815
Times Ranked: 249
% Times Won: 66.15%

With Liam Neeson, Amanda Seyfried, and Julianne Moore.

% Times Won: 64.56%
Times Top 20′d: 3
Ben Stiller in a more “serious” role.
Caught in the Crossfire – (DVD and Blu-ray)
Chris Klein and his mega-acting and 50 Cent in the same DTV movie. I can see this being one of the most insanely watchable trainwrecks to come out in the last few months.
Other New Releases of Note:
- The Greatest – with Susan Sarandon, Carey Mulligan, and Pierce Brosnan
- Our Family Wedding- with Regina King, Carlos Mencia, America Ferrera, and Forest Whitaker
