Grindhouse! : A Review

I have been anticipating the arrival of this flick for month’s…all those blogs I read; the internet movie trailer hype…the Rose McGowan action figure I had to own…Last night I finally got to see the thing I have been longing for…and…the best I can say is…bittersweet. That’s right…for all the adrenaline fueled exhilaration brought about by witnessing the spectacular audacity of Rodriquez’s ‘Planet Terror’…and the nostalgic joy I encountered as my childhood flashed on the screen by way of faux B-movie previews and vintage lobby card PSA’s…I still had a residual sour taste in my mouth having been subjected to Tarantino’s gab-fest ‘Death Proof’…it’s GRINDhouse, man! …show me the GRIND…don’t tell me about it! Rodriquez seems to be truly coming into his own…first ‘Sin City’ now ‘Planet Terror’…whereas Tarantino continues to swim in his own ego; amongst the flotsam and jetsam of movie trivia and lore. For whatever it’s worth, ‘Grindhouse’ is still the best show in town!

HERE is the Trailer.
