Grindhouse
Saw it last night at a packed showing in Burbank.
My spoiler-free review
Planet Terror - fucking awesome. Pure fetishistic sex-gore freak-out. Non-stop entertainment that will surely be a favorite film of many gorehounds here.
Deathproof - It kicks ten tons of ass when the cars are moving, but the "other stuff" that fills half the film is uninteresting at best. The ending is amazing and absolutely redeems the film, but it simply isn't as much fun as Planet Terror. I may have to see this one more than once to truly appreciate it, but it's cool.
The Trailers - Machete - Danny Trejo kicks ass, this is being turned into an actula feature. Thanksgiving is in hilarious bad taste Werewolf Women of the SS misfires completely (go figure) and **** (don't want to give away the name as it's the punchline) Edgar Wright's trailer is the most perfectly pitched element of the entire evening of entertainment. I'm still laughing about it.
All-in-all a fantastic night out at the cinema. The most bang for your buck you'll get all year.
