The most fun I've had in the movies since 1965!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2007)

I have to say that even after reading whatever I could find I still didn't know exactly what to expect but Grindhouse turned out to be the most fun I've had in the movies since way back in 1965 when I used to sit all the way down front with Patty Brown. :) (Sorry Mr. and Mrs. Brown) This is nostalgia brought up to date perfectly, and expertly executed. Grindhouse is a must see for all "B" movie matinée loving baby boomers (as well as our generation whatever offspring). Excellent job by all, producers, directors, cast, and crew! I loved every minute, and it's a double feature to boot! No spoilers here, I think everyone knows that both Planet Terror and Death Proof have their share of gore, but the gore is so well done, so realistic, so dark and graphic, with such an impeccably woven B movie aura, it becomes bizarrely hilarious! At the 12:30 PM opening matinée showing people were actually laughing out loud at some of the carnage! And the trailers! The missing reels! Grindhouse manages to not take itself too seriously yet project an edgy, mordant quality that is so well done it's almost too good to be true. The audience gets the feeling they're being let in on a running private joke the cast and crew are sharing. Highly recommended! Go see it!
