Quentin Tarantino, one of the most influential and acclaimed filmmakers of his generation, has announced that his 10th and final film will be titled “The Movie Critic”. The film will be set in 1977 and will follow the life of Jim Sheldon, a film critic for the Hollywood Press, who is described by Tarantino as “Travis Bickle if he were a film critic”. Travis Bickle is the protagonist of Martin Scorsese’s classic 1976 film “Taxi Driver”, played by Robert De Niro, who is a lonely and unstable taxi driver who becomes obsessed with saving a teenage prostitute from a pimp.
Tarantino has confirmed that he will be filming his final movie in Los Angeles, the city where he started his career as a director. He said, “I started directing movies here and it is only fitting that I shoot my final motion picture in the cinema capital of the world.”

All eyes are on the development of the tenth film from Quentin Tarantino. The prolific director has declared that his last film will be a feature titled The Movie Critic. After a strong debut with Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino cemented his place in pop culture and with film nerds everywhere with his sophomore film Pulp Fiction. Since the success of that film, the director has become a household name, and people continued to gravitate toward the filmmaker’s throwback style amid the graphic violence, language and foot fetish.
Casting for a Tarantino film is usually as anticipated as the plot details. The Kill Bill director has a penchant for working with legacy actors as well as some obscure names. Industry insider Daniel Richtman has revealed that Tarantino is rumored to have offered the starring role in his final film to character actor Paul Walter Hauser. Hauser can be seen for his...

The early numbers are in and to absolutely no one's surprise around here The Final Destination is murdering Michael Myers at the box office this weekend. But the battle of the confusingly titled horror installments -- The Final Destination is actually the fourth chapter; Halloween II is the ninth - was never really a fair fight to begin with. Why? Read on... Halloween II's Rob Zombie is a good director (maybe even a great director, if you go back and watch the last five minutes of 2005's The Devil's Rejects), but even the most talented auteur couldn't possibly make Michael Myers scary (or hip) again. It's time to face the fact that no matter how you try to reboot the Shatner-masked slasher franchise, no matter what kind of new backstory or shocking new pinnacles of gore you want to ladle onto it, Halloween is over. Dunzo. Deader than Jamie Lee Curtis...
