Review of Grindhouse (2007) by Mattw. — 08 Apr 2007
This movie is fabulous. Its filled with horror and comedy. One second you're deeply involved in the B-movie type drama unfolding in front of you eyes, the next you're rolling in you chair laughing because of the missing real, unrealistic gore, of absolutely hilarious sequence of consequences.
The only flaws are 1) The movie is a little of 3 hours long. Note, although you will miss some hilarious fake previews, use the small intermission between movies to use the bathroom (but you shoiuld be fine if you went ahead).
2) Death Proof can get really long with dialogue. I usually love Tarantino's rants of dialogue (pulp fiction is classic), but here the dialogue did little to give incite to the characters. If its on purpose, he could have taken about 20 minutes out of worthless diaglogue, if purposeful, he's a genuis because he's mocking campy movies when nothing happens.
As bad as this may be at times, its worth the awesome chase scene. 3) "Machete" will probably not be made into a real movie (unless they do Grindhouse 2).
