And . . .

In my post on Tarentino flicks I neglected to mention the movie Death Proof. It was an oversight at the time, but looking back I think it was meant to be, because if any of his movies deserve a post all their own, Death Proof would be my pick. This movie is bizarre, not by Tarentino standards, but just in general. Originally part of the Grindhouse double feature, I didn't get to see it in the theater, and had to wait until the DVD came out. 20 minutes into the movie I was thinking, "I've just wasted $20 bucks." However, by the end of the movie, I wanted to watch it all over again. So what was the high point of this movie? When Zoe Bell looks through the window and utters those magical words, "You wanna go get him?" I can actually hear my heart melting.

Dude. I love Death Proof. I ain't sure about Planet Terror though. I don't know that I want to watch it.

Planet Terror is a little more out there, and frankly rather disgusting at times, however it is a fun ride.
