and you're a sucky actor too

Rating: 5/10 (9 April 2007)

this is my least favorite tarrantino project to date. i don't want to sound like a conservative moralist, but quentin's increasingly sadistic homage to 70's exploitation is getting very old. 'death proof' is essentially a short film, bloated into an hour and a half by his trademark: characters sitting around bullshitting about nothing. fortunately for us, the performances are excellent, k. russell, m. and j. parks and all of the girls make the film at least watchable.
rodriguez' film is also garbage, albeit well executed. i liked the political references, but the only real highlight for me in 'grindhouse' were the fake trailers and the 70's movie theatre experience. quentin at least has a good memory.
