movie review: grindhouse
Planet Terror
Gore and barbecue. Oh and a machine gun leg. And Sayid from Lost. What more could you ask for in a movie?
Planet Terror starts a little slow, but once it gets going, it doesn't stop. It's garish, vulgar and completely over the top. It's gore for the sake of gore, it's sex for the sake of sex and it's the kind of movie where you know everyone had a great time making it. The fake trailers are in themselves almost worth the price of admission.
Death Proof
Quentin Tarrantino loves women. Especially their feet, and to a lesser extent their asses. He likes to give them dialogue that probably looks awful on paper, but is great on film. Death Proof has probably one of the best weapons for a serial killer I have ever seen. The movie seems shorter than Planet Terror, and is a different kind of scary. Both are a lot of fun.
