"Grindhouse"
I just read news that Grindhouse came in fourth and only made $11 million this week. Let me be clear, this movie is not for everyone. On the other hand, it had Scott and me in stitches, and there was a 60 year old couple in front of us who were having WAY too much fun. The entire theater was applauding and laughing hysterically and having a great time. Violence, Yes. But a little more cartoony than usual, I thought. In Robert Rodriguez's movie when you shoot someone apparentely a GALLON of blood shoots out of you. It's hard to take that seriously. There was lots of heads blowing up, and the cannibal zombie disease did some horrilby disgusting things to you. But this is horror from the 70's, it's not realistic "Saw" stuff. It was fun. Buffy would disagree, she didn't like Rodriguez's movie as much as Tarantino's. Actually, in our group of six, three of us preferred Rodriguez, three of us preferred Tarantino. Kurt Russell was awesome in Tarantino's movie. I just disliked the entire first half of it because it went so sloooow. Once the action started happening though, Tarantino's movie was awesome. I thought it was really creatively done, Rodriguez especially took every opportunity to replicate the 70's horror films. I totally appreciated it. It was a much needed 3 hour break from the seriousness of life. Rose McGowan was awesome. I always liked her anyway, but she earned major points for this movie. I don't know, what can I say? It's violent, there's half nekkid chicks with machine guns, it's violent, ... and it's awesome. It's not for everyone, but if you even half like horror films, if you love oldies, if you love films, you should go see this movie. It didn't even feel like three hours, and for me, that says a lot. I HATE when movies approach 2 hours. But this one was great. Out of the six of us, it got a huge thumbs up. So I recommend it, and you should go see it. But don't bring little kids, it's not for them. Teenagers, yes, but not little kids. Posted by Pischina at April 8, 2007 5:31 PMComments
