Better than I could have imagined

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2007)

I am typically more of a Tarantino fan, but I have to say Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror was the better movie. Death Proof seemed to drag on a little bit, but was still an awesome story. The car crash in Death Proof was probably the most visually pleasing part of the whole thing. Also, Kurt Russel gave the performance of his life. It was meant to be corny, but he hit it out of the park.
This is not a movie for everyone to see. I'm not the type to get grossed out during movies, but there were several parts in GrindHouse that made me cringe. If you are a timid movie-goer then this is definitely not the movie for you.
Even if you are not a fan of Tarantino/Rodriguez type movies, I would recommend seeing this movie just for the trailers. They were hilarious.
Seeing this movie made me feel like I was back in the 70s. That's how I have always imagined movies were back then. Both directors did a great job of capturing the style of old horror movies, while using state of the art CGI and special effects to make all the gore look fantastic. The best of both worlds.
Best movie I've seen in a while. 9.5/10
