Screw what everyone else thinks!

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2007)

I liked the ideas for both the films and fake trailers. Made it feel like a Grindhouse cinema. The only flaw, of course, was Tarantino's half. Yeah, it had great stunts and action, but that was like 30% of it. The rest was all chat. Rodriguez's half never bored me at all. Great action, bloody violence, great cast, good dialogue. Now, onto the fake trailers. MACHETE: The trailer was friggin' AWESOME! Nice to see Trejo become a leading character, great action scenes and film references. WEREWOLF WOMEN OF THE S.S.: This was good. Nice to see some old faces from Zombie's films(Sheri Moon, Ton Towles, and Bill Moseley). What threw me off track was a brief cameo of Nicholas Cage as Dr. Fu Manchu. THANKSGIVING: BEST SLASHER PARODY I'VE EVER SEEN! Eli and his buddies did a great job with this mock-trailer. Great story, great slasher film idea, good cast. Gave a good icing on the cake with music from Creepshow.
Planet Terror: 5 out of 5 stars. Death Proof: 2 out of 5 stars. Fake trailers: 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. OVERALL: 4 out of 5 stars.
