Tarantino and Rodriguez : Two against the world.

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2007)

Fake trailers, double feature program, vintage look, gore scenes, beautiful women being rape, turn into weapons or werewolf, astonishing car chasing, auto-references : welcome to the world of "Grinhouse", hosted by QT and Robert Rodriguez.
Everything in that unusual movie is excellent : the fake trailers are extremely funny (especialy the "Machette" one, and the surprise apparition of Nicholas Cage "as Fu Manchu"), and the two movies (a little more than 70 minutes each) are both excellent in their short version. "Planet Teror" (Rodriguez) is a really fun Z-movie with Zombies and "Death Proof" (Tarantino) is a beautifully well filmed car-chasing movie. If you have the chance to see that version of "Grindhouse", choose it better that than the long versions of the movies : it's really a hell of a cinephilique experience.
