I just managed to see Grindhouse at the cinema today.
This was its first cinema release in Australia - 1 week only at an independent cinema.
Death Proof received a wider release on its own a few months ago, but didn't last long in the cinemas.
I am so glad that I went along. I think these films really benefitted from being shown together. It heightened the atmosphere trying to be created of being in a 70's grindhouse cinema by showing it as a 'double feature' with faux trailers etc (a la I Drink Your Blood/I Eat Your Skin).
Planet Terror was great, but I did also enjoy Death Proof a whole lot. I really captured the atmosphere of car flicks/revenge flicks very well.
As an added bonus, before Grindhouse the same cinema showed Massacre at Central High. I love this film, and never thought I would get to see it on the big screen.
5 hours of great cinema today :)
