Back in January, Quentin Tarantino had mentioned that Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” was his second-best film of the 2010s. However, the famous filmmaker of such great films as “Pulp Fiction” and “Jackie Brown” wouldn’t reveal what his #1 movie of the decade was,. This all left us wondering, for months, actually almost 6 of them, when his top pick would be known.

By all accounts, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” was met with a distinctive shrug by the Cannes jury, as the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu-led crew gave the film zero awards during the closing night ceremony. However, American critics seem to really like the movie, judging by its 88 Metascore and a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. And yet, all people seemed to be wanting to talk about, which I refused to cover given how much I loved the film and didn’t want this overshadowing it, was the now-infamous press conference, where Tarantino got visibly upset when someone asked about the film’s “violence against women” and Margot Robbie’s lack of screentime (QT’s now infamous reply “I reject your hypothesis!”).

The film takes place in 1969 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Western TV actor that, alongside his trusty stunt double, played by Brad Pitt, is seeing his star fade and tries to keep hold of his crumbling TV career. Oh, and they also live next door to Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) — the film takes place the same year the actress, Roman Polanski’s late wife, was brutally murdered by members of Charlie Manson’s cult.

Read moreQuentin Tarantino's ‘Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood’ Has New Photos
The questions remains as to exactly what kind of film Quentin Tarantino is making with the upcoming "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood." The film will either be a) an absurdist revisionist genre film like 'Inglourious' and 'Django' or it'll be b) A film grounded in the dark, realist violence of "Reservoir Dogs," "Jackie Brown" and "Pulp Fiction." Something tells me it's the latter. QT has even mentioned that '‘Once Upon A Time’ is “probably the closest to ‘Pulp Fiction’ that I have done.”

Playboy Germany is finally admitting that some of the quotes from that controversial interview with Ennio Morricone — in which the Italian composer had allegedly described Quentin Tarantino as a “cretin” — have been “reproduced incorrectly.” There was a back and forth between whether the statements were accurate or not, but the journalist has been caught as a sham. Bad news for him, especially since the magazine had initially stood by the article. Gulp.

The drama that unfolded this weekend between legendary film composer Ennio Morricone and Quentin Tarantino was hilarious, to me at least. Morricone accused Tarantino of being a 'Cretin' and 'Stealing from others', which caused a bit of a firestorm. The gist of the controversy came from a Playboy Germany interview that Morricone had given. However, Morricone denied that he ever said those things, and now, interviewed by Italian media outlet Repubblica, Morricone is now saying that he never did the interview and that the Playboy Germany journalist made it all up…

Ennio Morricone has composed some of the most iconic scores in movie history: “A Fistful of Dollars,” “For a Few Dollars More,” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West,” “Once Upon a Time in America,” "The Untouchables," “Cinema Paradiso,” “The Battle of Algiers,” John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” “Days of Heaven.” And yet, he only finally won an Oscar in 2015 for his work in Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight." That was actually his second Oscar, if you count a previous honorary Academy Award he had earnestly received.
