Best Movie I Have Seen In A While

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

Grindhouse was the best movie I have seen in a very long time. Both segments of this movie (Rodriguez's "Planet Terror" and Tarantino's "Death Proof") both proved to be solid, entertaining thrillers that would have been standouts even if the gimmicky double-feature had not come into play. "Planet Terror" was outrageously funny and gory and a crowd pleaser in every way. "Death Proof," while slower-paced and less violent than "Planet Terror," was (in my opinion) the better of the two. The dialog (as you would expect from Tarantino) was amazing and intriuging, and the action--when there was some--was PHENOMENAL. Also, "Death Proof" had one of the best car chase scenes EVER. The highlight of the movie, however, was Eli Roth's "psuedo-coming attraction" THANKSGIVING (that trampoline will get ya!!). I loved the cheesy, campy effects to this movie. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTLY DONE. Bravo to Rodriguez and Tarantino.
