Do It. Manhattan at the New Beverly.

Woody Allen Friday and Saturday night at Quentin Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema!

Manhattan (1979) at 9:25 tonight, and 5:35 and 9:25 tomorrow (Saturday) night. Great date movie.

Annie Hall (1977, also fantastic) is playing at the New Beverly this weekend as well.

Do It. Quentin Tarantino's March programming at the New Beverly.

A little over a year ago Quentin Tarantino made headlines when he purchased the New Beverly Cinema. A true film aficionado in addition to being a brilliant filmmaker, this move made perfect sense. This month, in celebration of Tarantino's March birthday, he's taken on the theater's programming duties.

The New Beverly is a gem of a revival theater, where I've had the pleasure of seeing everything from The Last Picture Show, to The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, to Brazil on the big screen. It's also just a short walk from Milk.

Some highlights: March 15 is Grindhouse Night (Grindhouse at 7:30 p.m., Machete at 11:00 p.m.), Dazed and Confused on March 18 and 19, and Five Minutes to Live (starring Johnny Cash) on March 24. View the full calendar here.

March 27 (which is his birthday) through the 31st, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair (a combination of volumes 1 and 2, with some differences from the released volume 1) is on the schedule. It's already sold out, any tickets that become available will be sold standby on a first come, first served basis the night of each show. This is the same print that screened at Cannes in 2006. Its running time is 247 minutes.

In other exciting news: On April 1 and 2, there will be midnight screenings of Pulp Fiction.

Happy Birthday, Q.T.!

The New Beverly is located at 7165 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles. General admission $7. Info: newbevcinema.com, (323) 938-4038

Check It. Quentin Tarantino's favorite 2010 films.

Quentin Tarantino's favorite 2010 movies were recently published on Tarantino.info and there were definitely a few surprises.

Of "Enter the Void" (which IMDb tells me was released in 2009) Tarantino said it was "One of the greatest in cinema history." On that note, I had to look it up (seizure-inducing intro embedded below). The site also has Tarantino's list of spaghetti westerns and grindhouse films. Check it out.

Check It. Quentin Tarantino at the Egyptian.

Quentin Tarantino will be in conversation with Variety's Todd McCarthy tonight at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre. It's a double-feature evening: Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds. If Travolta's Vincent and Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace's dancing date at Jack Rabbit Slim's doesn't get you ready for Valentine's Day, I'm not sure what will.

I haven't yet seen 'Inglourious', but am looking forward to being able to see it on the big screen after skipping it when it was first in theaters.

Tarantino should make it an exciting event, we'll let you know what happens!

This event is sold out.

If you want your Tarantino fix on the big screen, The Egyptian is holding a Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & Kill Bill: Vol. 2 double-feature tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. We're waiting till 2014 for Vol. 3.
