Meet me at the "Grind House"

No, not that kind of grind house... Anyways, about the movie. Well, the movie was cheesy, grainy, kind of bad acting, lack of a real good plot...basically everything that makes this movie awesome!

This movie was so fun to watch that I couldn't dare to describe it. All I will say is this, if you think the zombie horror flicks of the 80s sucked so bad that they were really good to watch, then watch this movie.

Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror:

First of all, Rose McGowan was hot! Second...the twin sisters were even hotter! Simple. Now to the actual story. The story was kind of cheesy, as expected, but entertaining none the less. The action was awesome. All the explosions and gun action is exactly what I expected from Rodriguez. What made the movie really cool was some cheesy but funny one-liners and some of the dumbest yet funniest things that I've seen some characters do in a long time. I don't want to give anything away but the Twin sisters come to mind.

I will give Planet Terror: 7.5/10

Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof:

This movie started off really slow. The first half hour it seemed was all about these stupid girls talking about dumb stuff like getting high and other dumb things. Couldn't care less about that but finall when Snake...err...I mean Kurt Russel shows up things get interesting. As usual the the chicks were kind of hot but they were wearing short-shorts so that could've clouded my judgement. =) Anyways, the first batch of girls get what's coming to them and then we move on to Rosario Dawson's character and her pals. Those chicks are loads of fun and ballsy, very ballsy. You'll find out what I'm talking about when you see tho movie. The driving scene with Kurt and Rosario's friend is one of the best in a long time. Pure action! The ending is great but I won't give it away. All I will say is this, it's really sad when a alpha male gets his ass beat by a bunch of chicks...LOL

I will give Death Proof: 8/10 ...could have scored better if it wasn't for the excessive talking in the beginning.

Overall though I would give this movie a 8.75/10

Why? Because the movie themselves were great but the added movie "prevues" were awesome. I still can't get over FuManChu and Machete! LOL
