The Greatest, Most Unique Film of All Time !!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2007)

Okay, here's how I'm gonna do it: I'm gonna rate both movies out of 5 stars and then total them up and that will be how many stars out of 10 Grindhouse gets.
First, we look at my favorite of the two movies: ROBERT RODRIGUEZ' PLANET TERROR. This is my favorite of the two not just because of my love for zombie movies, but because it was an action-packed thrill-fest that kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. "Planet Terror" revolves around an exotic go-go dancer named Cherry Darling (ROSE McGOWAN) and a martial arts master named El Wray (FREDDY RODRIGUEZ) who are caught in the middle of a bio-terror virus that turns people into zombies, or as they are called in this film, "sickos." They band with a whole team of other survivors, including Dr. Dakota Block (MARLEY SHELTON), Sheriff Hague (MICHAEL BIEHN), Abby (NAVEEN ANDREWS), and JT (JEFF FAHEY). This film also stars Josh Brolin as the demented 'Dr. William Block' and Bruce Willis as 'Muldoon.' Now onto my review: the action was fantastic and the gore was even better. There were a lot of bad ass characters, unlike many other action movies where there is only one bad ass, and a cameo by two of my favorite actors / crew people, Quentin Tarrantino and Tom Savini. This movie shows great performances by McGowan and Rodriguez (Freddy, that is) and it was a shocker to see Biehn in this film since I haven't seen him in any other movies since "The Terminator." Honestly, there is not one negative thing I have to say about "Planet Terror."
Now onto the next film: QUENTIN TARRANTINO'S DEATH PROOF. This film is about a deranged maniac named Stuntman Mike (KURT RUSSELL) who kills beautiful women with his stunt car, in which he calls 100% Death Proof. Okay, since there are so many other characters in this film, I'm gonna go ahead and get to my review of Death Proof. The driving scenes were insane and it was really graphic the way we see the first set of girls get killed. Kurt Russell gave an awesome performance as the calm, cool, and collected (at first) Stuntman Mike. Now the only negative thing I would have to say about "Death Proof" is the pointless dialogue from the ladies in this film. Although the dialogue from the first set of girls actually set up what was gonna happen with them later on, the dialogue from the second set of girls were completely pointless and had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on.
Now that I got those two films out of the way, onto GRINDHOUSE itself ! It was purely AMAZING and I'm hoping Tarrantino and Rodriguez make more movies like this. The faux trailers that fused the two films together were hilarious and completely bad ass. And when I heard one of the trailers, "Machete" starring Danny Trejo, was actually gonna be turned into a movie, I was excited and all I simply said was this: "It's about damn time Danny Trejo gets his own movie !"
Now for my ratings !
Robert Rodriguez' "Planet Terror": 5 out of 5 stars !
Quentin Tarrantino's "Death Proof": 4 out of 5 stars !
GRINDHOUSE: 9 out of 10 STARS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish I could give it a full 10, but the dialogue in "Death Proof" made me say otherwise.
