Barrel Of Laughs, They Do It Purely Because They Can!

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2007)

Let me start of by saying outright, I think Planet Terror was the weaker picture, and Kurt Russel plays a brilliant part in Death Proof! Anyways, Tarantino and Rodriguez literally are a pair of jokers...
I found Planet Terror to be rather gruesome and slapstick compared to Death Proof which is much more stylised with the classic Tarantino style dialogue! All in all the two movies compliment each other perfectly, Grindhouse defintiley fulfills what it sets out to accomplish and that is to bring back that classic drive thru cinema era of America by mixing some classic b-movie horror with some bad attitude and a 90's twist.
I fully enjoyed Grindhouse however I'm a massive Tarantino fan and knew what to expect, I think the non-beleivers will be like 'What The F**k' at times throughout Planet Terror but I thought it was hilarious.
As For Deathproof, this is the real picture, Kurt Russel plays a fantastic part as the psychotic stuntman mike.
I think its a long cinema experience as the two movies are as promised: Full Length Features. However if you can hack the uncomfortable seating defintiley bring a girl with you for this one and throw some popcorn at people! An instant classic in my books.
I personally wasn't all that impressed with Kill Bill 1 & 2 and this has restored a little faith in Quinten (Who has quick cameo appearances in both Planet Terror and Death Proof) and I just cant wait for Inglorious Bastards, which I hope will be his true comeback! Grindhouse gets an 8 from me!
