Quentin Tarantino’s March Madness takes over the New Beverly

The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, California is one of the oldest working theaters in the United States.  This is possible thanks to filmmaker Quentin Tarantino buying up the theater in February of last year.  The fate of the historic building was left in question beginning in 2007, but thankfully is currently still in operation.  To celebrate Tarantino’s birth month (March), it was announced today that the theater has let the avid film lover program a series of double features ALL MONTH LONG!  To top off a month long celebration of Grindhouse features, March will end with multiple screenings of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.  This will be its first showing in the US, and its first anywhere since its original Cannes Film Festival debut!

Crack House, I Escaped From Devil’s Island (not available on DVD), Road Games, Summertime Killer (not available on DVD), Hell River (not available on DVD), and Duel of the Iron Fist are just a few of the titles that will be shown as part of an amazing month of cult films at the New Beverly.  One of the nights, March 15, will even host a double feature (or triple if you’re being technical) of Tarantino and Rodriguez’s Grindhouse followed by Rodriguez’s Machete.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will show March 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and April 1 and 2nd.  I am sure this will wet fan’s appetite for the rumored Blu-Ray and DVD of the full-length director’s cut of the film later this year.

This news follows the breaking news Ain’t It Cool News confirmed early today, regarding the fact that Tarantino’s next project will indeed be a “spaghetti western” co-starring Christoph Waltz.

The New Beverly Cinema is located at 7165 West Beverly Boulevard, in Los Angeles. All programs are double features, cash only. To see the full line-up of Quentin Tarantino’s March Madness, you can view the New Beverly Cinema’s website here.

 

 

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
