BLU-RAY TUESDAY: 'Evil Dead' Reboot Scares Up Various Exclusives, '42' Hits Home Run on Blu-Ray

Tarantino's 'Django' Drives Old-Fashioned Revenge Home on Blu-Ray
![]() |
Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) stands in the way of Django (Jamie Foxx) reclaiming his enslaved wife. |
One of the perks of being Quentin Tarantino is wielding the
power to end the lives of countless onscreen characters in the most stylistic
bloody ways imaginable. Feel free to say that's a sadistic manner of thinking,
but for Tarantino, that alone defines him as a director he is today and answers
the reasoning behind the Spaghetti Western bloodbath simply known as Django Unchained.
After his recent cult classics, Kill Bill and Inglourious
Basterds, Tarantino has no issues amping up his blood-stained cinematic
canvas set against a touchy subject such as American slavery and what's
necessary to be free of the shackles of servitude. Enduring many years of hard
service, Django (Jamie Foxx) finds himself freed by Dr. King Schultz (Christoph
Waltz) and now with the means to seek revenge on a charismatic plantation owner
keeping his wife all for himself.
