Grind House

Got a chance to see this double feature bill due to the holiday.

I enjoyed "Planet Terror" more than "Deathproof" mainly because PT just plays more like a "grindhouse" film (decent setup for a nutty zombie flick), while DP is a little self-indulgent on QT's part, and the payoff didn't quite redeem all the dialogue scenes in the film.

But it's definitely worth seeing if you like both/either director's work, and you get your money's worth (just over 3 hours of schlocky fun at the movies).

I give PT 3 stars or a grade of B, and I give DP 2.5 stars or a grade of C+.

Oh yeah, I really hated
Warning Spoiler!
seeing the "missing reel" card come up at the most inopportune time.
Heh.
