Grindhouse

Rodriguez and Tarantino! Oh yeah.

I was looking forward to seeing this for a long time, and I wasn't disappointed. Rodriguez's zombie-fried flick "Planet Terror" and Tarantino's road-pulp "Death Proof" are two very different movies, but each delivers up tons of cheap and fast grindhouse thrills.

Just as satisfying were the trailers, both before and between these double features. "Thanksgiving" (directed by Eli Roth), "Don't" (by Edgar Wright), "Machete" (by Rodriguez) and "Werewolf Women of the S.S." (by Rob Zombie).

The whole aesthetic, from the scratched film to missing reels, felt right. It was a lot of fun to see with like minded friends, and I'm looking forward to buying the DVD when it comes out.
