GRINDHOUSE

I saw the movie "Grindhouse" over the long weekend and am absoloutely in love with this movie! In my opinion, its some of the most innovative cinimatography that we've had in years. Its a double feature with the movies "death proof" as well as "Planet Terror." they are partially making fun of old- style drive in movies from the 1970's with joke ads throughout that could easily be seen in that era, as well as super cheesy acting. its very funny in its own way, as well as it has a really original plot. I liked that their were two movies. the first movie "Death Proof" was about zombies taking over the world and a stripper (who gets her leg bitten off by zombies then later got a machine gun as a leg as seen above) who helps to save the world and falls in love with an old flame again who is a very good shooter. alot of the movie doesnt really have an explanation, (which sort of makes it funnier) and it is fairly gross at some parts- but for the most part I thought it was very funny and the plot actually kept me pretty intreged throughout the whole thing.

The second movie was my favourite one called "death proof." its about this guy named stuntman mike (played by Kurt Russel) who stalks girls and then trys to kill them later with his death proof car, which is used in movies therefore really strong and can crush most cars. basically, after stuntman mike stalks down some pretty girls then later crushes them with his car, He finds some new girls. things do not go as planned though, and the girls who are also stuntpeople turn it around and chase him down. Its not only very funny, but also empowering to the "poor innocent girl" stereotype.

In conclusion; Grindhouse was a really funny, really good, really innovative film, and although its target audience seemed to be boys I thought it was very good none the less. Its deffinately a must see if youre out with friends.
