Review of Grindhouse (2007) by Stephen H — 23 Jun 2010
Contrary to popular opinion, Death Proof is hands-down the better movie here. Planet Terror is fun, but is overly long. Death Proof, on the other hand, is awesome. I don't know why people are so up in arms about it being lame.
It has many Tarantino trademarks - especially the long dialogue-driven scenes. Kurt Russell is perfect as Stuntman Mike and the car chase at the end is a huge payoff. Death Proof and all of the fake trailers were excellent (especially Thanksgiving and Don't), but Planet Terror is a notch below in comparison.
But the double-feature, actual Grindhouse experience is quite awesome. Hopefully they will put this out on DVD the way it was shown in theatres.
