damonrpayne Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I thoroughly enjoyed GrindHouse on opening weekend. Surprisingly it was Jen's idea to go see it as she is also a fan of Sin City and the various Tarantino films. While a bit long at 190 minutes I haven't enjoyed a film this much in a long time. Not everyone will appreciate the gore filled double feature; they are chocked full of Hollywood insider nonsense. Rose McGowan is dating Robert Rodriguez, nearly the entire cast of both films have previously appeared in Tarantino or Rodriguez films, "Zoe Bell as herself" did Uma Thurman's stunts in Kill Bill 1 & 2. Eli Roth, director of Hostel (presented by Tarantino), plays a small roll in Death Proof. And so on, and so forth, I'd have to watch it a few more times to catch probably even half the Hollywood insider crap. Two big successful directors with a large studio backing them and an-all star cast spoofing/praising low-budget camp horror films works despite the irony. The fake movie trailers before and in-between the features are hilarious and may be the best part of Grindhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arky Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I hadn't heard of this yet & I enjoy all of Tarantino's stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'd watch it just to check out Rose in a film like this. I may have to wait for it to hit dvd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
