Back to The 'Ol Grindhouse
OK, so I'm counting the days until next weekend (Friday, April 6th, to be precise) because I plan to return once again to the movie theatres to see Grindhouse, which is the newest effort by two of my favorite directors, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez. I have been hyped for this movie since I first heard about it back last year. What could be better than a three hour film extravaganza composed of two "B" movies (Tarantino's "Death Proof" and Rodriquez's "Planet Terror") with some bogus trailers from the likes of Rob Zombie and Eli Roth popped in the middle of the two? Yes folks, this is your humble narrator's idea of paradise. It's going to be bloody disgusting, but so, so sweet. Check it out!
