You Have To See This movie!

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2007)

I've been waiting for this movie for over a year now, just the thought of a double feature directed by two of the greatest writers/directors alive today (lets try and forget Spy Kids) Then the cast was perfect everything was set in place for this movie to be a HUGE HIT. I wanted to go see this movie opening weekend, but due to my work schedule I had to wait until the following week. Come Monday I looked at the trades and Grindhouse only made 11 million! Now something must have been wrong, was the movie bad? No that couldn't have been, it has been getting rave reviews ever since it was shown to critics and people. So I had to go myself and I decided to bring my girlfriend who seems to get dragged to every movie I want to see. Some are good, some are pieces of crap *cough* Wild Hogs *cough* Well let me just say it now Grindhouse was the best movie I've seen this year, and I've seen quite a few including some really good ones Reign Over Me and The Lookout, but Grindhouse was the best one yet. You all should go see it and recommend it to friends it is unbelievable that it didn't make more money and a piece of crap movie *cough* Wild Hogs *cough* opens with over 40 million and is about to hit the 200 mark. Now I do not know if movie goers are getting dumber and settling for bad movies but that seems to be that case. I wonder why television is filled with dumb reality shows about a kid going out on a date with an older woman then having to choose which of their daughters he wants to date or celebrities dancing for loads of money. Then I realize that is what Americans want to see, more crap, at movies and on television. I am pleaded you people out their not only go see Grindhouse but do not go and pay for crap anymore, show the studios that you want good movies or else we are going to continue this journey of remakes and bad sequels (excluding spider-man) If the time of 3 hrs and 15 minutes scares you, don't worry it flys by. I am the guy you goes to see one movie and right after walks into another (yes without paying for the second) Why? Because I feel movie prices today are outrageous and you should get your money's worth when you go to the theater. With Grindhouse you will get your money's worth and walk out with a satisfied feeling, few movies provide you with these days. I know the trailers didn't give much away and maybe thats why you did not go and see the movies, but trust me they are both great flicks. I was hoping this movie would succeed in America and we would see the old double feature movies comeback to cinemas but it seems America cannot handle good movies combined into one ticket these days. Now the Weinstein's say that they are "incredibly disappointed" box office for Grindhouse that they are considering abandoning the double feature as a single feature concept and re-releasing the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez movie around the U.S. "in a couple of weeks" as two separate feature-length movies with additional footage put in.
Now I hope you read this go see the movies and recommend it to friends, there is still time go save it from being dumb downed for Americans to go and see it. Get out there and see "Grindhouse". Before you have to pay "twice" to see the same movie!
