Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

I didn't actually get the chance to see "Death Proof" in theatres, though it escapes me as to why...Anyway, I first saw this on DVD. A friend of mine demanded that I see it, and since I'm a Tarantino fan, found this to be no hardship.

I think part of the problem why some people rated it so low is that most are all about the action--instant gratification, loves a drive thru and not a sit down at dinner type of person. This movie, though slow, is full of some of the most realistic and witty conversation I've ever heard in film or television. But no need to worry, gentle readers. The ending made me want to leap out of my chair and pump my fist in the air. The payoff is *extraordinary*, and it is one of my favorites of all time. And that is a damn hard list to get on.

Simply put, it is top notch. It takes a brilliant bastard to draw it out like that, and I don't think anyone else would have been capable of pulling off such a feat other than Mr. Tarantino. He is truly talented, and this film, by the way, was rated high marks by certain well known critics (Ebert & Roeper--I agree with most of their assessments of a film).

Another B movie Drive-In Theater Grindhouse production. I enjoyed Kurt Russell and the rest the cast in this fun 70s style horror emulating many of the movies back then like Death Race 2000 made in 1975. Although I didn't find this quite as entertaining as Grindhouse Planet Terror, I still think it is worth at least a rental and for this low low price for this two disc set I went ahead and bought a copy. Russell plays a heartless stunt driver bent on killing women. Unfortunately for him he runs across the wrong group of ladies that want some payback. The dialogue isn't as good as "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" so characters aren't as appealing. That and the cast isn't as impressive as Planet Terror. You may find yourself distracted so try and hang in there for the action sequences. Afterall I don't know about you but I saw the real movies like this in the 70s and they weren't all that gripping all the entire time and during those slow moments we got popcorn and sodas. Good quality DVD with some replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "Planet Terror", "Kill Bill", and "Sin City". - C. Luster
