GRINDHOUSE - I've chosen to present this feature as one movie, since that's the way I saw it. I loved Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror. It was the most mindless fun that could possibly be crammed into an 80 minute flick. Explosions, zombies, guns, and decapitations have never been such a riot. For me Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino's half of the project, was more highly anticipated. It didn't deliver at the level that I had hoped. There was way too much dialog and not nearly enough action. However, when the action finally did get under way, it was quite the thrill ride. The faux trailers between pictures, the missing reels, and authentic grind house presentation sold me. It was truly a unique movie going experience.
