Grindhouse


Planet Terror: **** Stars
Death Proof: **** Stars

I am not going to ramble on about the great scenes in this flick. There are too many. All you need to know is that it is one of the funnest times at the movies in a long time. Both Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino totally knock it out of the park.

Everyone in the world should know by now what Grindhouse means. Grindhouse is presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. Tarantino's film, "Death Proof," is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while Rodriguez's film explores an alien world eerily familiar to ours in "Planet Terror." And in between flicks, friends of the directors, including Eli Roth and Rob Zombie create some of the funniest fake trailers in movie history.

I will say no more. Just go out to the Grindhouse, and have a hell of a time.
