Synopsis: Grindhouse (2007)
Synopis: Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez present two full-length movies in a new horror double feature. In 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. In Rodriguez's "Planet Terror," two doctors find their graveyard shift inundated with townspeople ravaged by sores. Among the wounded is Cherry, a dancer whose leg was ripped from her body. As the invalids quickly become enraged aggressors, Cherry and her ex-boyfriend Wray lead a team of accidental warriors into the night.Features: Grindhouse (2007)

Cons: Rodriguez and Tarantino could have put more thought into the story.
The movie lived up to a new old genre brought back to life. These movies started around the 60' and were named B rated movies, low budget, with lots of creativity to override its low budget. The movies i watched were from the 70's and into the 80's, yet this movie adds spice to this old genre, Tarantino and Rodriguez, co directed this 2 part flick, and I believe Rodriguez directed mostly this one, but I could be wrong. However the movie is a surprise in creating stunning gruesome effects, and good acting makes the story believable, if only for a moment. The story itself was cheezy, but it resembled the old B, rated flicks that this movie exploits. However I would wish a little more creativity was put into the story. Enjoy the movie. ...

Pros: Planet Terror
Cons: Death Proof and no fake trailers
I made the mistake of buying Planet Terror and Death Proof on DVD with the intention of trying to recreate the experience I missed in the theatre. No such luck. The trailers for "Thanksgiving," Werewolf Women of the SS" and "DON'T" are nowhere to be seen! The only trailer present is Rodrigues' "Machete" on the Planet Terror DVD, and I'm guessing that's only there because that film is actually being produced.

"Grindhouse" should have been released as a single DVD collection WITH THE TRAILERS. I'm sure it will come out that way someday but when it does, you won't see me buying it. The Weinstein Company already stole my $35 once. ...
