It's a good time to be a Quentin Tarantino fan. Not only is his New Orleans-shot "Django Unchained" scheduled to arrive in theaters next month, but two of his earlier films -- "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" -- are poised to return for one-night-only engagements at local theaters. They top this week's "Thinking Outside the Box Office" column, a regular rundown of notable film events on the horizon for local film fans.
