comic relief and bloody retro

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2008)

After seeing the most of Tarantino's and Rodriguez's work, this double feature was again amazing and a welcome retro shock. The trademarks are incorporated in a whole new concept and fingerlicking (provided you are a carnivore) action. I couldn't help but recall parts of some greasy Troma VHS-tapes i rented in another life, something to do with Cult Videotheek Amsterdam. T&R used many technical achievements of the old masters of cinema, absolutely fantastic framing combined with vacuous conversations (Are you OK? No I'm just Cherry) and graphically mind-boggling gadgets (italian vogue ?!) Also some was reminiscent of Mad Max and Reservoir Dogs, admitted i never did see Vanishing Point, White Line Fever and Big Wednesday.
Be sure to see Death Proof first and Planet Terror afterwards. As far as i'm concerned, this work proves that double features are a great phenomenon and i hope there will be more.
