The Village Players continues their successful 93rd season with the gripping drama TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD adapted by Christopher Sergel from the novel by Harper Lee. This timeless drama illustrates the evils of racism and the dangerous emotions that result from treating people of color differently.  Ms. Lee vividly shows us that we all have a need to see the world through the perspective of others; only then can we truly understand each other, and consequently treat everyone with love and respect.

Having picked up the Golden Globe for Best Original Score on January 10th this year, Ennio Morricone's score for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is now nominated at the 2016 Academy Awards for Best Original Score.

Famed director Quentin Tarantino continues to confirm that he will adapt his hit film THE HATEFUL EIGHT to the stage in the near future.

Tarantino once again teased the idea of bringing his latest film, THE HATEFUL EIGHT, to the stage.

Now that 2015 is squarely in the rearview mirror, and everyone is back to work after the holidays, it is time to take a look at some of the best films of the past year. As was the case with my Top 15 TV Shows of 2015 list, this is not intended to be a comprehensive list. I am one man, and I have not yet seen every major movie released last year. However, as I continue to work through screeners and upcoming screenings (I live in Orlando, so not all of the awards-bait has been released here yet), I will count down the top 2015 releases that I saw during the calendar year. Notable omissions are BRIDGE OF SPIES, THE REVENANT, THE DANISH GIRL, and CONCUSSION, all of which I hope to see by the end of the week.

Quentin Tarantino stopped by 'Popcorn with Peter Travers' to talk about his new film 'The Hateful Eight' and revealed why Samuel L. Jackson appears in nearly all of his films.

While the setting, style, and time period of Quentin Tarantino movies have changed throughout the years, there are three things that have remained consistent; ensembles of gleefully flawed characters; depraved, but often gorgeously bloody violence; and lots and lots of profanity. While the theatre is no stranger to violence or profanity, it is his legendary ability to create compelling, but bizarre characters that has led me to say in print and on podcasts that if the 52-year-old writer and director had been born a few decades earlier, Tarantino could have been one of America's greatest playwrights, alongside Williams, O'Neill, Miller, Stoppard, and Mamet.

Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT original motion picture soundtrack is available for purchase worldwide today via Decca Records.
