Here's something you probably didn't expect to find on your favorite movie site today: SCIENCE! (With a cinematic twist, of course.)

Scientists have recently discovered three new species of the "Cystomastacoides" genus of wasps. According to sci-news, the Cystomastacoides wasps are known for their deadly reproductive habits — basically, they put still-developing eggs inside other insects until the eggs slowly render their hosts either sterile or dead. Pretty gross, actually. But compared to the level of gore in Quentin Tarantino's movies...

Does that method of death sound kind of like the...

Kill Bill star Michael Madsen has escaped child endangerment charges due to insufficient evidence.

The actor was taken into custody outside his California home last Friday after allegedly becoming embroiled in an argument with his young son. He was released on bail the following day.

However, on Thursday, a Los Angeles County District Attorney determined Madsen wouldn't face official charges due to lack of evidence.

The star's attorney, Perry Wander, tells TMZ.com, "Michael is grateful that this unfortunate family incident is now closed and thanks those that thoroughly investigated th...

The Hollywood star, who has also appeared in "Sin City" and "Kill Bill," walked into the house on Thursday night, insisting his stay would be like a previous stint in rehab.

He quipped, "I don't know f**k all about Big Brother. But it's gonna be like rehab without the doctors."

Madsen was joined by Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon and British rapper Romeo Dunn.

Actress Vivica A. Fox is single again - her fiance has called off their engagement.

The Kill Bill star, 47, became engaged to club promoter Omar 'Slim' White last Christmas after more than a year of dating, but the couple's romance recently came to an end - and White claims he was the one who broke off the relationship.

A judge in New York has ordered a man convicted of stalking Uma Thurman to undergo a psychiatric evaluation after concluding he is unfit to sign a plea deal.

Jack Jordan, 40, was convicted of stalking the Kill Bill actress in 2008 and was arrested again last year over allegations he breached a restraining order by calling Thurman's cell phone and her Manhattan office in October.

He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of criminal contempt and was back in court on Thursday as part of a proposed deal with prosecutors which will see him sentenced to two years of treatment at an outpatient ...

Hollywood actress Lucy Liu spent years showcasing her art under a pseudonym because she was scared her onscreen reputation would "taint" her side project.

The star is an enthusiastic experimental artist and has been exhibiting her work since 1993 under the name Yu Ling, but she has now gone public with a display in London under her real name.

Liu admits she kept her work secret for such a long time because she didn't want art fans to be influenced by her acting roles, which have included feisty Ling Woo in TV show Ally McBeal and a deadly assassin in the Kill Bill movies.

She tells B...

Quentin Tarantino will be the guest of honor at the Cesar Awards in France next month when he will be honoured for his career achievements.

A man who was convicted of stalking Uma Thurman two years ago has allegedly violated a restraining order by attempting to contact the actress.

Jack Jordan was found guilty of fourth-degree stalking and one count of second-degree aggravated harassment by a jury in 2008 after he bombarded Thurman with notes and letters, and threatened to kill himself outside her New York home in 2005. He was ordered to seek psychiatric counseling and stay away from the Kill Bill star for five years.

However, the 39 year old allegedly violated the order of protection by making a series of phone calls to th...

An alleged fix has rocked the Venice Film Festival after a group of Italian journalists accused jury president Quentin Tarantino of favoring ex-girlfriends, pals and associates.

The outcry came after the filmmaker's former lover Sofia Coppola claimed the festival's main prize, the Golden Lion, on Saturday for her drama "Somewhere."

Tarantino has since insisted her win was unanimous, but the local media is still questioning the director's choice, especially after his friend Alex de la Iglesia won two prizes for his film Balada triste de trompeta and one of his mentors, Monte Hellman, was h...

David Carradine's widow is suing bosses behind the actor's final movie, insisting her husband would never have died if he had been properly looked after during filming in Thailand.

The "Kill Bill" star, 72, was found hanging in the closet of his Bangkok hotel room last June. Investigators found the cause of death to be asphyxiation and Thai police reports suggested he died accidentally during a dangerous solo sex game.

Carradine was in the city filming a movie entitled "Stretch," and the late star's wife, Annie Bierman, is now taking legal action against the producers, insisting her husba...

The Pulp Fiction director will be the focus of the organization's annual 'roast' later this year, which sees honorees ridiculed in mocking tributes.

The 9 minute epic (for a music video) features Lady Gaga and Beyonce, a women's prison, and a storyline heavily-influenced by Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. There's even a hint at a sequel.

Quentin Tarantino is facing a lawsuit from a screenwriter who has accused the director of copying his idea for the Kill Bill movies.

Dannez Hunter alleges he sent a story to bosses at film company Miramax in 1999, about a fictional character named Ren.

The writer claims his idea was used by Tarantino in his two-part martial arts epic, which featured a character called O-Ren, played by Lucy Liu. The legal documents, obtained by TMZ.com, claim Tarantino took the "concept/character name Ren" from Hunter's work.

Hunter also alleges he applied for a job at Miramax and was "never given a re...

This Oscar season, Quentin Tarantino has earned himself both a Best Director and Best Writer nomination for his work on "Inglourious Basterds," which is up for a total of 8 Oscars, including Best Picture. Despite the common criticism of strong violence and language ever present in his films, each movie release seems to just solidify Tarantino's place as one of the greatest directors of all time. Following the newest wave of success of Basterds, perhaps Tarantino could try his hand at taking over already-established franchises? Here are four movies we would love to see Quentin Tarantino di...

Quentin Tarantino is eyeing a Western movie project - he wants to tackle gunslingers and slavery in his next film. The Kill Bill Volume 1 movie maker set his last film, Inglourious Basterds, in Germany in World War II, and he wants to move his next project back to America for a "spaghetti Western."

And Tarantino is determined to put his own spin on the genre.

He tells the New York Daily News, "I'd like to do a Western. But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let's shine that light on ourselves."

Rapper 50 Cent has made peace with ex-girlfriend Vivica A. Fox after their bitter break-up by casting her as his leading lady in a new music video.

The couple's 2003 split was far from amicable, prompting the Kill Bill Volume 1 actress to appear on TV to blast the hip-hop star on The Tyra Banks Show after he accused her of using their relationship to boost her profile.

However, 50 Cent has returned to the supermodel's talk show to announce he's friends with Fox again - after she agreed to star as his love interest in a promo clip for his track Do You Think About Me.

He says, "Sh...

Quentin Tarantino has thrilled fans by announcing a third installment of his "Kill Bill" series is due in 2014.

The filmmaker's hit movies Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2, starring Uma Thurman, were released in 2003 and 2004, earning more than $332 million worldwide and leaving fans clamoring for more.

The director declared a follow-up is in the pipeline, with an expected release date of 2014, on Saturday while appearing at the Morelia International Film Festival in Mexico.

The proposed "Kill Bill: Vol. 3" will be set 10 years after the last installment to allow Thurman's c...

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman has yet to start planning for her wedding to fiancé Arpad Busson because they're not "ready" to "rush" into marriage.

The Kill Bill star accepted multi-millionaire Busson's proposal in June 2008 but the couple has so far put off setting a date for their nuptials. And Thurman warns their family and friends they will be waiting a while longer before they receive any wedding invitations.

She tells W magazine, "I'm happily engaged, but we haven't set a wedding up. I'm not in a rush to do anything. One day we'll do it, when we're ready."

The year in movies is always split into two different seasons. First, there's the endless malaise of the Winter, Spring and Summer where we suffer with movies intent on doing nothing more than making money. The second season is much more fruitful, it's when movies care about making money and winning awards.

This moment the season changes is often hard to pinpoint. Normally it occurs in late October when every single movie seems to have a minor-key melody scoring its trailer and actors from Britain make their first appearances.

Sometimes, however, awards season comes in with a ban...

Director Quentin Tarantino loves to shock movie goers - but would never hire children to star in his violent films.

The quirky filmmaker is behind some of the grisliest cinematic scenes of the last 20 years, including the famous ear-slicing shot in Reservoir Dogs and the huge body count in Kill Bill. His latest film, Inglourious Basterds, looks to live up to his previous work.

But Tarantino insists he draws the line at putting kids in "harrowing" situations, and prefers to use animation to portray child characters. He says, "I've never believed in limits, because an artist can do a...

Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino has vowed to leave the movie business by the time he turns 60.

The 46-year-old Oscar winner has been put off by colleagues he's convinced only turn toward filmmaking to pay for their lavish lifestyles. Tarantino has given himself only another 14 years before he retires to avoid churning out bad movies just to support his expensive tastes.

The Kill Bill director tells GQ magazine, "Directors don't get better, they get worse! ...When you gotta go out and make a movie to pay for the kids' private school and for the three ex-wives, don't talk to me a...

Lucy Liu's family refuses to admit they're related to the star - because they're embarrassed by her fame.

The actress shot to stardom on the TV show Ally McBeal and has since appeared in hit movies including Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill and opposite Keira Knightley in Domino.

However, her older brother and sister, along with her parents, refuse to let anyone know she is part of their family - because they don't want to be judged by her high profile status.

Liu says, "There's always sacrifices. My family don't generally say that they're related to me - my sister doesn't say she's ...

A movie producer pal of late actor David Carradine has come forward with shocking new claims the Kill Bill star was murdered by gender-bender hookers.

Carradine's naked body was found bound and hanging in a closet in a Bangkok, Thailand hotel room on June 4th. Initial reports suggested the star accidentally took his own life, and an independent autopsy has ruled out suicide. However foul play has not been ruled out and Carradine's friend David Winters, who produced three of the actor's less-known martial arts movies, insists he was the victim of Bangkok's Lady Boys - and local police ar...

I finally got around to seeing "Terminator Salvation," and I must admit I wasn't terribly impressed. Overall the film was better than "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," but that doesn't say a whole lot because "T3" was pretty bad. Sam Worthington and Anton Yelchin were great, while Christian Bale gave an okay performance. I was expecting a more epic movie considering all its hype.

This week there are five films premiering: "Year One," "The Proposal," "Whatever Works," "Food Inc," and "Dead Snow." There are three I think are worth seeing, and two I think you should wait to rent.

Spike TV is to pay tribute to late actor David Carradine, who died a shocking and tragic death last week, by shelving its schedule in favor of a marathon of his films.

Spike TV bosses will air films like Kung Fu and the two "Kill Bill" movies (1, 2) back to back on Saturday - for 11 hours.

Carradine, 72, was found dead, hanging in the closet of his Bangkok hotel suite.

Everything from suicide to foul play was speculated; however, Thai police believe he died accidentally as he took part in a dangerous sex game involving auto-erotic asphyxiation - where victims achieve heighten...
