Grabs you by the neck and never lets go!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2007)

After seeing the new movie, Grindhouse, I knew that I had to disobey all traffic laws and type this review as soon as possible! Although I don't suggest doing that, but the previous statement sums up how astonishing this movie was. Let's start things off with the "fake" trailers before anything else. From Machete to Werewolf Women of The SS to Don't and Thanksgiving, the filmmakers really shined in these trailers which makes you wonder how they'd fare as actual movies. I'd have to say, in my opinion, Eli Roth's Thanksgiving was the most cringe-worthy while Zombie's Werewolf Women was just over the top! Machete and Don't were just as insane but those jumped out at me more. Now for Planet Terror you're going to hear about how this one was the "best." I can't argue with that but it was certainly my kind of movie. For one thing, the sequence were Rose McGowan uses her machine gun leg will super glue you to the edge of your seat! Plus, Rodriquez proves his loyalty to film by ACTUALLY adding scratches, missing reels, and burn holes to the ACTUAL film reel! Now with Tarantino's Death Proof, it was still a exploitation film but it still had that Tarantino flair you either love or hate. He takes his time setting up his characters which most would find boring but I like Tarantino's dialogue and its very strong in this one. But if you're patient enough and actually appreciate a great script, then you're hunger for action will be sedated. The final car chase is one of the longest, most rewarding and high octane chases I've ever laid eyes open! Muscle car enthusiasts will ruin their pants during this scene. And the end result will make the whole package worth it. Hell, girls would like it way more than guys would...
