Very Entertaining With Some twists

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2019)

I saw "Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood", starring Leonardo DiCaprio-The Wolf of Wall Street, Critters 3; Brad Pitt-Deadpool 2, World War Z; Margot Robbie-Suicide Squad, The Wolf of Wall Street and Damon Herriman-Justified_tv, The Lone Ranger_2013.
This is Quentin Tarantino's 9th film, and I heard him say on a talk show that he is only going to make one more movie and then call it quits-for a total of 10 movies. I hope not, and people are always changing their minds, but that's what he said. Anyway, this one takes place in 1969 Los Angeles, during the end of the hippie movement and the Charles Manson killings. Leo is a fading tv action star that is looking for his next big break. Things are so bad that he might even have to go to Italy and do spaghetti westerns. Brad is his stunt double and personal driver-Leo lost his license-and his best friend. Margot plays Sharon Tate and for all those fans of her, they show clips from The Wrecking Crew with the real Sharon Tate. Margot lives next door to Leo in Beverly Hills. Damon plays Charles Manson and I'm sure that you remember what he and his Manson family did. There are lots of cameos: I remember seeing Bruce Dern, Luke Perry-in his last role-Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell and Timothy Olyphant, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Remember the title of the movie, Once Upon a Time...because Quentin plays loose with some actual facts, but that only makes it entertaining in my opinion. For instance, there is a fight between Bruce Lee and Brad. Near the end, things get violent and bloody-it's a Quentin Tarantino movie, remember?-but it is very entertaining with some twists. During the end credits, there is a cigarette commercial for Red Apple cigarettes starring Leo-he smoked all through the film-that is pretty funny.
It's rated "R" for language, graphic violence, drug use and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 2 hours & 41 minutes.
If you like Quentin Tarantino movies then you will probably enjoy this one. I know I did and I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
