Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez bring back the 1970's

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2007)

The Grindhouse has everything, even phony trailers. Both directors bring back the movies of yesterday, those movies were so bad, they were good in the 70's. Robert Rodriguguez tale named Planet Terror is a mixture of films like Invasion Of The Body Snacters and Night Of The Living Dead, and it also has a little of director John Carpenter style of movie making. Rose McGowan was great as Cherry Darling, so was Marley Shelton(Bubble Boy, Valentine) as Dakota. Josh Brolin must have channeling Nick Nolte while playing this role as a doctor, but he was good none the less. And it is very violent like a 70's movie is.
Then there is Quentin Taratinos tale named Death Proof, a film that makes us remember those suspenseful car chase thrillers such as Duel(1971) and Mad Max(1979), Kurt Russell is great as stuntman Mike, who drives a death proof car, and gets his thrills running people off the road. Quentin Taratino has been know to dish out incredible dialog, and create amusing characters. He never seems to out do due himself, and neither does Robert Rodriguez. These films have action, humor, and violence. But these two directors delivered it quite well. I hope for a Grindhouse 2 in the future.
