Just got back from watching Grindhouse at work - the new Robert Rodrigez/Quinten Tarentino double feature - and it was awesome.
Rodrigez's 'Planet Terror' is basically a zombie flick set in modern day, done '70s style starring Rose McGown and Bruce Willis - Fergie makes a cameo. Think of your stereotypical zombie flick, add some randomness and you get this one. It was hilarious and awesome!
Tarentino's 'Death Proof' stars Rose McGown, Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson and Zoe Bell (as herself) and is basically about a stuntman and his car who eventually decides to have some fun with a couple of stunt chicks and their car. This one starts out kind of slow - several scenes of girls chewin' the fat and bitching at each other, but the last 15 min or so definately makes up for it!
Rob Zombie does one of the coming attraction previews - 'Werewolf Women of the SS' - as does Eli Roth (director of Hostile) does a hilarious one called 'Thanksgiving.' Our copy also has trailers for Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' (due out in August) and the latest trailer for Eli Roth's 'Hostile 2'
It's got 'missing reels,' film catching on fire, cigarette burns on the screen among other typical 70s grindhouse cliches. If you like zombie movies and fast cars, check this one out! It was quite an experience - either you'll get it or you wont.
*warning, it is approximately 3 and a half hours long (we started it at 2am, the film dropped at 530am - it's 12 reels long), so pee beforehand and dont drink too much liquid or ya may miss something (but if you must pee, i recommend going during one of the long character developement scenes in Tarentino's DeathProof).
*also, due to graphic sexual scenes and anatomy shown, as well as graphic violence, this is not for anyone that's not an adult. sorry kiddies, but I guarentee you will be carded.
