Grindhouse
Saturday, April 7th, 2007we saw the new robert rodriguez/quentin tarantino double feature on opening night with some good friends. my vote: r. rodriguez’s film = thumbs way up. campy, gorey but didn’t make me retch, all around good fun. the fake trailers in between = YES! especially the one by eli roth, oh and the one by the shaun of the dead guy. [DON'T! ha!] q.t.’s film, however, gets a big fat booooo. same old too much talking, gun toting, obscure musical references, potty-mouthed black girls that you’ve come to expect in all of his films. at that point you’re two hours in and you should probably just call it a night. i did like kurt russell in it, though. he’s fantastic.
overall rating: 4 out of 5 Ns.
