A Cinematic Blast

Rating: 7/10 (29 April 2017)

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez take us back to the good old days of the drive-in B movie double feature. Complete with fake movie trailers and the scratches and pops common in older films, Grindhouse is an entertaining look back for those of us old enough to remember the drive- ins of that era. I'd consider it an entertaining first look for those who aren't.
Planet Terror, directed by Robert Rodriguez, is set during a man-made zombie apocalypse. A bio weapon created by the army turns people into flesh eaters. A small band of survivors tries to stop the soldiers and the end result of their weapon while escaping with their lives. Tarantino and Bruce Willis both appear as soldiers. Rose McGowan has a gun for a leg. Does anybody else that's kinda hot?
Death Proof, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is set in Tennessee with Kurt Russell as a scarred stunt man using his car to murder women. Tarantino appears again as a bar owner.
If you're an aficionado of 60's and 70's movies, you'll see little nods to several throughout. Checkout Grindhouse, it's a trip.
