This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Blistering performances.

Movie "Interlude" Review: "Grindhouse" (2007)Indulging on bloody violence, gore and plainview morals of the b-movie-cinema of the 1970s and early 1980s comes double infusion of troublemaker directors Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriquez in two times 80-Minutes-plus editorials for "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof" in legendary grindhouse movie house occasion starring a Hollywood cast from three-times cameo Bruce Willis over Kurt Russell and Josh Brolin to Rose McGowan as one-leg-machine-gun Go-Go dancer Cherry, Rosario Dawson and stunt-woman Zoe Bell as man-chasing sirens with friends, Quentin Tarantino himself as The Rapist on blowing-up to proportions military bases of phantom menacing Bio-Weaponry in "Terror" and a climactic high-speed live-action car chase in "Proof" under digitally graded scratches, color fall-outs to complete burning-up release prints, supported by guest directors Eli Roth & Edgar Wright for a half-time trailer show from "Machete kills" to "Werewolves pursuits" and beyond.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend

This is a movie not just watched but you experience. You have two brilliantly trashy films from two incredibly talented directors that are sandwiched in with the best faux trailers ever, it's soo good that a couple of the fake previews become actual fully developed movies in their own right. A great double feature with some really fun goodies in the mix. Side note: while the films are available individually, it's best seen as one. Especially because you'll miss out on most of the trailers which were expertly made by some fine directors.

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez take us back to the good old days of the drive-in B movie double feature. Complete with fake movie trailers and the scratches and pops common in older films, Grindhouse is an entertaining look back for those of us old enough to remember the drive- ins of that era. I'd consider it an entertaining first look for those who aren't.Planet Terror, directed by Robert Rodriguez, is set during a man-made zombie apocalypse. A bio weapon created by the army turns people into flesh eaters. A small band of survivors tries to stop the soldiers and the end result of their weapon while escaping with their lives. Tarantino and Bruce Willis both appear as soldiers. Rose McGowan has a gun for a leg. Does anybody else that's kinda hot?Death Proof, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is set in Tennessee with Kurt Russell as a scarred stunt man using his car to murder women. Tarantino appears again as a bar owner. If you're an aficionado of 60's and 70's movies, you'll see little nods to several throughout. Checkout Grindhouse, it's a trip.

I'm not sure I can write a 1000 words or ten lines about this movie, but I will try. It is a total piece of junk. Crap disguised as art and enjoyed by the multitude of pretentious people who suffer from the "tyranny of being cool." It has lousy acting (I've seen better at middle school plays), poor cinematography (makes "Blair Witch" look like "Lawrence of Arabia"), stupid story lines (appears to have been written by a committee of 10 yr old psychopaths) stupid "cutiness" (the dumb trailers), and all this in name of emulating 1950s bad horror flicks. To begin with, why emulate junk? I know that the majority of IMDb reviewers really love this type of garbage (Check the ratings of "Snatch," "Pulp Fiction,", etc.), but this really goes beyond bad taste. Hopefully, future generations will be able to see this type of truly meaningless scatology for what it really is.
