Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evilresident - "2 1/2 Hours of Pure Dynamite". That was from the trailer. Believe me, "Grindhouse", a tribute to the old 70's "grindhouse" films created by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, is pure dynamite, but only for part of the film. Oh and its length is 3...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author videodude - I can't describe Grindhouse in words, if only to say that I'm too giddy about the experience of viewing it, that it's hard to just describe it in mere adjectives. But what I will say about Grindhouse, is that it literally is one of the best movies I...

Grindhouse: not that great

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 21:50:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cp00 - This 2-in-1 movie was way too long. Some parts of the movies were good, of course. But both movies were too long. The plots weren't that developed or complicated and the point of each movie was easily ascertainable from the beginning. Which is why...

Tue, 15 May 2007 06:43:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author briankrakow - The studios have had it all wrong for years. Instead of embracing the silly fun of the low budget genre pictures that sprinkled through the drive-ins and run down theaters in the 70s and 80s, they went in the exact opposite direction. What we got was...

Sat, 12 May 2007 08:40:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shopaholic_man - Two directors I admire (for the most part) are Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. Action, violence, witty dialogue these directors deliver the goods. Pulp Fiction, Desparado, Reservoir Dogs, Mariachi, Dusk til Dawn Sin City and Shark Boy...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Last night I enjoyed this double feature at a theater where you sit in sofas and eat pizza while you watch: MISTAKE. Grindhouse is not something to watch while you eat. Rodriguez / Tarantino clearly had fun making this double feature homage to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JiggyJay - One of the biggest privileges that Americans have is the ability to go out to the movie theatre to see a brand new movie—it’s one of the best traditions available to us and I take full advantage of this past time many times a month. But as of late, the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cokejunky - The Trailers: I loved the trailers. "Machete" is the mexican exploitation film one, which they're apparently going to make into a release-to-dvd film. "Don't" was hilarious as for it's repetition of the word by the anouncer. Rob Zombies was my...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spelvini - We have a running joke my film friends and I that in so many cases the trailers of new films are sometimes better than the feature we have paid to see, and sometimes the trailers are better than the features that they promote. Robert Rodriguez and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeff_wilder78 - Many moons ago, when Sin City came out, a friend of mine asked me how edgy it was. I replied that the movie was as "edgy as it gets in a Pulp Fiction sort of way". Well I just got back from seeing Grindhouse and find myself thinking of that moment...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - As a concept, Grindhouse is a reminder of how refreshing it is when something creative comes out of Hollywood. Writer-directors Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodriguez are mavericks who have crossed swords before (Four Rooms, From Dusk Till Dawn). Each...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - When I was a young lad in the mid- to late 1970s, I was much too young to have been allowed to go to "grindhouses," those second-tier theaters and drive-ins where cheaply-made and cheesy "exploitation" flicks were offered to mostly young, mostly male...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jjayooee - I’ve seen many movies throughout my life, and I rarely ask myself how much bang I’m getting for my buck. In retrospect, I guess I’m usually just paying for a couple of laughs from Will Ferrell or some explosions via Vin Diesel.But in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j-bar - Wow! Where to start? I guess I should start by saying there's a lot here to discuss, being that Grindhouse is the first double feature mainstream release I can remember. The two features, one directed by Robert Rodrgiuez (Desperado, From Dusk till Dawn)...
