"Grindhouse" Is Awesome!!!

A movie project brought to you by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez called "Grindhouse" which is an imitational b- movie back to back featuring "Death Proof" written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and "Planet Terror" written and directed by Robert Rodriguez.

I think Grindhouse is a great concept whether for entertaiment or an art form, both featured films contain considerated script writing and montages.

Some people may think these movies are worse than ever, but I think that "Grindhouse" is an imitation of theaters where plays B- movies, so this project is not about these movies but the ambiance that could provide, even though these movies are also great.

"Death Proof" is the latest film Quentin mafe after "Kill Bill" series, and it also about revenge..., well in my view, a different kind of revenge. There is a scene that Quentin made a long shot of girls chatting which is impressive. Audiances should not miss what they were talking about because things will connect to what happen to them after their chat. I think that concept is great, audiance must pay attention to what they are watching,even if it's a crap.

I wanted watch "Planet Terror" ever since I saw "Grindhouse" trailer. Rose McGowan with one machine gun leg is so impressive! I am interested in this story more than "Death Proof" , indeed, this part of Grindhouse is awesome. I was so have fun watching this film, it's so serious, so hilarious, and so emotional. I think "Planet Terror" is more B- movie than "Death Proof", it seems they made fun of B- movies in every single scene. I was so laugh out watch this movie. Really great one. Everything is more dramatized, when you see it you will burst out laugh.
Robert Rodriguez not only wrote, directed but also made musics for "Planet Terror", that's why I said it's so emotional. One of the memorable quotes of leading role -"Two against world" almost made me cry and there is a theme song titled the same is at the end of the movie sang(humming) by Rose Mcgowan. So emotional.

I think "Grindhouse" is similar to Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses" series but with much more contents.
