The most entertaining 3 hours of my life!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2007)

"Grindhouse" is one of the best experiences I have ever had, and by far the most enjoyable movie experience of my life. The second you get there you're locked in to the experience of a life-time. When "Machete" starts if you know a lot about Robert Rodriguez you are already laughing the second it starts when you see Danny Trejo because Rodriguez uses him perfectly in everything and Machete is 150% Danny Trejo. After the first trailer you are still going 'wow that was so hilarious' and BAM the incredible score by Robert Rodriguez plays and you are thrown in by the hot sexy dancing of Cherry Darling the perfect way to open the film. "Planet Terror" is one of the most well-made films I have ever seen and in my opinion should win most of the technical Oscars. The visual effects and makeup of the zombies is incredible, the sound and the editing is incredible and the old-film crappy quality of the films is just spectacular. The script for "Planet Terror" was surprisingly good I found, Rodriguez is known more for his action and visual effects then his directing or writing, but Planet Terror had an excellent script, nothing on "Death Proof"'s but no one can top Tarantino when it comes to a script. The casting for "Planet Terror" was very well done Freddy Rodriguez, and Rose McGowan had great chemistry together with great relationship between El Wray and Cherry Darling, another perfect combo was Josh Brolin and Marley Shelton as the failing marriage doctors Block and Dakota. "Planet Terror" is not your stereotypic zombie movie, the story is but everything else about it is just spectacular. After "Planet Terror" you are giving more hilarious trailers "Werewolf Women of the S.S.", "Don't", and "Thanksgiving"...make sure you don't get up and go to the bathroom between the films or you will miss a great load of fun. Then comes "Death Proof" most people will find "Death Proof" a dud after the fast paced "Planet Terror". However "Death Proof" is spectacular. Tarantino's script is just incredible, his best script since "Pulp Fiction" in my opinion. He shows us here that not only can he write perfect dialogue for mobsters, cops, and the 'DIVAS'. But he can write woman's dialogue as well. The first half is a group of female party girls who love to drink, smoke, do drugs, and just have a good time, and the second half is about a group of woman in the motion picture industry. Each half ends with a spectacular, thrilling, and terrorizing car scene. The last 25 minutes of the movie is one giant car chase seen done with NO visual effects at all it is just jaw dropping. Tarantino's use of music is top-notch like always he applies perfect music. And there are great performances in my personal opinion Kurt Russel and Zoe Bell should both be nominated for a Supporting Acting award I found them to be superb. I also think death proof should receive a directing and writing nomination. In total I believe the film should receive 11 Oscar nominations in total, (Tarantino for directing and writing, Zoe Bell for Supp. Actress, Kurt Russel for Supp. Actor, and makeup, cinematography, original score, visual FX, sound, sound editing, and editing) as much as I love it though it is not the type of movie all will enjoy nor the type I believe should get a best picture nomination. The incredible visual effects, makeup, cinematography, sound, and editing in "Planet Terror" combined after with the most clever trailer, and finally ending with an incredible script acting and directing in "Death Proof" I have to say that going to see this film is the most enjoyable thing I have ever done in my life. Make sure you see it in theatres because that is part of what makes the experience so great.
****- GRIPPING, BREATHTAKING, and GENIUS "Two huge severed thumbs WAY UP!!!" A+
