Grindhouse

Grindhouse was written by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The film's title derives from the U.S. film industry term "grindhouse," which refers to a movie theater specializing in "B Movies," often exploitation films, shown in a multiple-feature format. Grindhouse consists of two films, Planet Terror and Death Proof. Both are very entertaining and not for those with weak stomachs. Both feature excellent Tarantinoesque dialogue, adventure and weirdness. I liked Death Proof better than Planet Terror. Kurt Russell is awseome as a twisted stunt man in Death Proof. Death Proof is a 4 and Planet Terror a 3.999. Both made my "tied for 11th," aka Honorable Mention category. Joe
