The Tarantino Rewatch Project - ‘Jackie Brown’ review

Is the third time the charm?

Find out, as WHINE+SPACE’s Tarantino Rewatch Project continues this month, with our look back at his third film - ‘Jackie Brown’. JB holds a rather unique place in the QT canon. Unlike all his other films, we’re dealing with an adaptation, of Elmore Leonard’s ‘Rum Punch’. We’re additionally seeing a softening of some of the elements that we might traditionally associate with a Tarantino movie, as established in his two prior films.


It’s also the first time that old QT was to release a film that, whilst certainly successful, didn’t achieve anywhere near a comparable amount of cultural impact as his prior efforts - and which then marked a significant gap between releases from him, with it being six years until ‘Kill Bill vol. 1’ hit cinemas, in 2003. With all these factors in play, what do we make of the film after not seeing it for a whole number of years?

There’s only one way to find out!

The Halloween Rewatch Project - ‘Halloween II’ (1981)

Happy Hallo-wait, what?

Oh, forget the fact that it’s January and you can barely remember what a jack-o-lantern looks like, forget that it seems like you’re seeing Michael Myers burn up every other day - the point is that WHINE+SPACE are BACK with a brand new project, one where we look back at the entirety of the Halloween franchise, establishing once and for all who is and is not the boogeyman.


As everyone and their aunt knows, we covered the original Halloween back in October of 2018, so we re-ignite the project with a look back at ‘Halloween 2’ and ask ourselves what happened when we were given MORE of the night HE came home!
