2 movies one fun afternoon

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2007)

Grindhouse Grindhouse - a love letter to junk cinema of the 70s and the whole viewing experience-I admit I love the B-movies of the 70s- not all of them- but stuff like Detroit 9000, The Bad Bunch,Death Race 2000.The 3 hours rushed by for me- I enjoyed the faux trailers- the vintage ads.I enjoyed Planet Terror for it's over the top zombie freakfest and it's odd ending-Rose McGowan looked tremendous with 2 legs and just as well with a machinegun leg.Death Proof played like a mix of tease porn with the sexy gals and the ass-kicking.Kurt Russell hammed it up nice as Stuntman Mike and the final car chase was a nice eye-popping good time with Zoe Bell as herself.Sure this is a collage of movie styles(like most of QTs flicks-I don't mind) and as always I loved the soundtrack for Death Proof- am listening to it now.A fun afternoon. B+
