Greatest Movie Ever Made.

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2007)

The mainstream prefers the spoon-fed stupidity of Wil Ferrell but for anyone who truly loves Movies as a visceral visual experience, this is as great as it gets. Rodriguez and Tarantino have brilliantly mined vintage 70s exploitation cinema for a no-holds-barred trip - not down memory lane, but up the Road to Glory. This will become the Ultimate Cult Flick. QT's half "Death Proof" seems to start slow but on reflection the character buildup is a shrewd calculation, making the shocking midway slaughter and the breathless vengeful finale that much more devastating. RR's 'Planet Terror" is the most slam-bang action/horror/sci-fi flick EVER, with (almost) no filler. Even the fake trailers - "Werewolf Women of the SS," "Machete," "Thanksgiving" and "Don't" - are more imaginative, entertaining and original than the "respectable, serious" glorified garbage nominated for Oscars (like "The Queen" - the worst movie I've ever seen, because it is insufferably dull.) Rose McGowan is the B Movie Queen of the 21st Century. For intelligent people who dig their thrills cheap and fast, "Grindhouse" is a work of sheer genius, made by and for B Movie Buffs. Anyone who doesn't even know what the term "grindhouse" means won't truly get it, so skip it. For everyone else, it is The Greatest Movie Of All Time.
