Grindhouse
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino team up to exploit the exploitation film genre in their double feature collaboration featuring “Planet Terror” and “Death Proof”, complete with coming attraction trailers. This film is named after the 70’s ghetto theaters which would grind out these low budget B movies. It is a real treat, outrageously funny, and a great homage to a past movie style. Of course, it is rated “R” for senseless violence, gratuitous nudity and sexuality, drug use, and strong adult language. You will be dazed after this 3 hour plus film. Go with the flow and have a good time.
Alien gives it 3 ½ “retro combo” stars out of 4.
Thank you BW & SacTicket.
Planet Terror
A one-legged stripper with a machine gun leg mows down zombies in a small Texas town. Director Robert Rodriguez skillfully recreates a lost genre and demonstrates how to make a movie so bad that it is so good. With all of its bloody violence, preposterous situations, and cheesy dialogue, it is hysterically hilarious. It is action packed. Alien has never seen anything like it. You got to see it to believe it. It is so much fun and worth seeing again. Gather up your buddies to enjoy it together. You will be rolling in the aisles.
Alien gives it 4 “blast from the past” stars out of 4.
Death Proof
Hot women and hot cars accent Quentin Tarantino’s film about a serial killer stalking unsuspecting women. The slower parts of this movie features lots of girl talk (Tarantino ranting dialogue time), but hang in there for the exciting muscle car sequences. It will be well worth it. There is no CGI here on the Texas backroads. It is all real action. The car stunts are incredible. It is very violent and very funny too. It is a tremendous thrill ride with a psycho killer and girls gone wild, so buckle up. They don't make action films like this anymore.
Alien gives it 3 “hood ornament” stars out of 4.
Faux Trailers
The fake coming attraction movie trailers are a crack up and a ton of fun. You just have to see them to believe them. They are very creative and just too funny. With titles like “Machete”, “Thanksgiving”, “Don’t”, and “Werewolf Women of the SS”, Alien would love to see someone actually make one of these into a real movie.
Alien gives them 4 “fabulous fakes” stars out of 4.
