The most Enjoyable Experience of My Life

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2007)

Grindhouse, in a nutshell, is the possibly the most enjoyable film ever made, certainly the most enjoyable film I've ever seen. Both movies, Planet Terror and Death Proof, are great in there own ways.
First was Planet Terror. A true homage to campy horror films. Basically, it was just pure fun. Rose McGowan was smoking hot, and since she was pretty much the main character, that would already make the movie worth seeing. The action in PT was awesome, lots of blood, but its not too bad, because its all very tacky and adds to the Grindhouse feel of things. It grabs your attention from the very beginning and never stops. There are no real slow moments, and most of the dialog is hysterically corny. The special effects also keep with the campiness, and fits the mood of the film. Basically, it's hysterical, action-packed, balls out fun. At times it's even pretty tense. 10/10 Then, there was Death Proof. For people who have seen Tarantino films, expect the same sort of dialog. At times it feels stretched out and useless to the plot, but that's how QT works, and in this film it's on par with all of his other films. Though not as violent as Planet Terror, it is very tense and at times pretty funny. The main thing that separates this from Planet Terror is that for the most part, you feel for the characters, and thats the magic of Tarantino's dialog. Usually, it doesn't reveal much about the characters, but when they are in tense situations, you root for them. You want them to survive, to get away, and if they don't, it enhances the experiences because emotion is involved. Death Proof does exactly that. On a different note, it has two amazing, intense scenes that will leave you shocked and in awe of QT's abilities as a movie maker. One is a crazy, violent car crash, and the other is an unbelievable car chase. 10/10 Also for your enjoyment come fake trailers that give non-stop laughs. The narrations are funny, the scenarios are funny, and some of the ideas seem like they could make pretty enjoyable films.
All in all, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino: Congratulations, you have just solidified your spots in film history.
