I think people need to actually SEE the movie before making judgments on both films.

IMO, start to finish, for all 2.5-3 hours, I loved it. I thought Planet Terror was a typical 70's style horror flick with over the top new style flair that really made it hilarious to watch. It wasn't scary, it wasn't anything but action packed and hilarious. There are a lot of, like I said, typical parts to it - very cliche lines, very cliche actions, and a very cliche plot. That being said, it acts like a '70's style flick, how every turn is predictable.

However, it was f***ing wicked. Lots of gore, lots of shooting, it's the kind've movie you watch and you go "oh god.. the girl has a rifle on her leg..and is shooting people with it..Oh..God..that is so lame.." but at the same time, when you see it, you go "..actually that's really cool" and you just laugh a lot. Rodriguez ended Planet Terror well I thought, it didn't leave me asking "..but what happened to....." or anything, but the end scene made me burst out laughing, and muttering "awesome..that's so awesome.."

Death Proof however..

Shocked the hell out of me, I had NO idea what it was about when I started watching it, from the trailer, when Kurt Russell says "This car is 100% death proof, only to get the benefit of it honey, you really need to be sitting in my seat!" I thought it was going to be just a bunch of really cool car chasing, crashing, action packed awesomeness.. I had no idea what Kurt Russell's character was /actually/ like.

My girlfriend LOVED the end of Death Proof, and near every girl I can think of, would also love it. Up to the last 20 minutes of it, though, she was wiggling in her seat cus it was scaring her.. (I laughed a lot, but apparently I'm sick) I also think the ending was pretty cool.. It was the kind've ending that was like.. the only way you could /actually/ end that kind've movie.. Tied everything together perfectly, you left feeling fulfilled that your 7.50 was spent well, and you got plenty of wicked surprises and additions during the entire movie.

I can't wait for Machete, I hope SO much that they actually make it.. Apparently it's in production.. You'll see what I'm talking about when you watch it =).

After both movies, near-the entire audience applauded. During the intermission and again at the end. Half the theater also stayed to watch the credits, in hopes there would be some other cool surprise... there isn't.. Thought I'd just save 10 minutes of your time should you decide to stay put.

Go see it. Seriously. It's super cool.. Every movie that's come out recently that has had crazy hype, like Borat, Jackass 2, etc etc.. I felt really ripped off.. but Grindhouse is now my favorite movie I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

If you enjoyed Sin City, 300, Pulp Fiction, Original Gone in 60 Seconds (Simply for the chase scene), you'll enjoy both movies..
