Read full article: Tarantino, cast capture 1960s Hollywood in 'Once Upon a Time'Now, after a nearly four year absence, Tarantino is back with a movie that looks at a particularly colorful time in Hollywood -- the late 1960s. He has one particularly wonderful scene opposite 12-year-old Julia Butters (from "American Housewife") as a no-nonsense child actress who takes her craft very seriously. Co-starring as Dalton's best friend, driver and confidant is another Tarantino alumnus -- Brad Pitt from "Inglourious Basterds." Andrew Cooper/Courtesy of Sony Pictures Quentin Tarantino directs Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio in a scene from "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Tarantino and his cast have delivered with a movie that really captures the look and feel of the late 1960s and, although at 160 minutes the film is a bit long, it's still a very entertaining and worthwhile experience.

Read full article: House where Charles Manson followers killed 2 up for sale(CNN) - From looking at the listing for 3311 Waverly Drive in Los Angeles, a potential home buyer wouldn't suspect anything bad had happened at the house. But just 50 years ago, the home was the scene of the grisly murders of supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, at the hands of four Charles Manson followers. The couple was killed August 10, 1969, the day after the Manson "family" murdered actress Sharon Tate, who was pregnant at the time, and four others about 11 miles away. The listing makes no mention of the infamous LaBianca murders, which seized the city with terror. The LaBianca house, as its known, has changed hands several times since the murders in 1969 and last sold in 1998.
