Planet Terror - 3 Stars
Death Proof - 4 Stars
Grindhouse - 3.5 Stars


Planet Terror definately shows Rodriguez's love for horror. Two doctors (Marley Shelton & Josh Brolin) find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by sores. Among the wounded is Cherry (Rose McGowan), a dancer whose leg was ripped from her body. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) lead a team of accidental warriors into the night.

I felt this film was pretty good given that I am usually not into horror. I will say that Rodriguez best flick is Deperado followed by From Dusk Til Dawn.

Next was Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof. Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia, sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna an Arlene. Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away.

I felt this film was the better of the two, but then again I love Tarantino films more that Rodriguez, but not by that much. Action over horror!!!! Planet Terror kind of drags on almost too long yet Death Proof seems like it goes a bit too quick. Then again Death Proof in 15 minutes longer than Planet Terror go figure.

Another interesting feature in Grindhouse are the trailers/fake trailers. They are something to see. I kind of wonder if they will make another Grindhouse. The show didn't blow up they way folks expected, but it is definately something for Rodriguez/Tarantino fans to see.

Desperado and Pulp Fiction are still the best.

Check It Out!!!!!!!
