Review of Grindhouse (2007) by Edgar C — 09 Oct 2011
Grindhouse was the bomb in 2007 and it was a nice homage to old Grindhouse films of the 70's. The fake trailers and two films put together was a very original thing to do nowadays. Fun at its finest.
+ DEATH PROOF.
Tarantino's worst film, but still a hell of a fun and violent ride with an unbelievably cool character and the same style of Tarantino that we all know of. And check out that lap dance scene... gorgeous. Nice action also. My problems with this disappointing mess is that it really goes nowhere; the girly talk lead to nowhere and this is the spot where Tarantino started to lose it. 60/100.
+ PLANET TERROR.
This film is so violent, so funny, so unrealistic, so gory, so typical for horror plots, so fuck!n stupid and makes no sense at all, that it rules! This is the most fair and appropriate homage to the Grindhouse films, also because of the intentional film damaging. It seems that Rodriguez can do anything he wants with films and still make me love him. I totally love the melting of Tarantino's rotten d!ck and balls parts. I fell in love with Cherry Darling... The film is such a mess that I ended up loving it. F#CK YEAH! This is the first time Rodriguez makes a better film than Tarantino, fact that for me is quite shocking, but surprising. The soundtrack also rules. 70/100.
Overall score: (60 + 70) / 2 = 65/100 + Extra point for the fake trailers:
66/100.
