I know book v. movie yadda yadda
9 July 2007
I have read the book. I have seen the movie. I would've been mad if I had seen it in theaters but I rented it and so I wasn't as angry about the changes. Basically, the book and movie have very little in common. If you can't get past that, you won't let yourself give the movie a chance. After original indignation I sat back and watched and I wasn't totally horrified by what I saw. Have I seen better movies this year? Yes. But I didn't hate it and demand the hour plus of my life back. I actually really enjoyed the Rafe character. He made me laugh several times and in my opinion, saved the movie for me. After I cast all things in the book from my mind, I enjoyed the premise of the movie and the new take in the werewolf genre.

Grindhouse (2007)
10/10
Finally a film(s) well worth the price of admission!
7 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Originally, I was worried about seeing this movie. I am not a huge gore fan by any stretch of the imagination and I heard this one had a lot. Happily, I really loved this movie(s). The gore wasn't a problem for me at all (the menial amount there was). Planet Terror is a must for any zombie fanatic, Death Proof will having you cheering and the fake trailers will have you rolling in your seats (especially Thanksgiving). Go see it, go see it, go see it! Especially if you are one of those people who finds movies nowadays barely worth their outrageous entry fee. Trust me, this one is worth it as you're getting two action packed features, several hilarious trailers, and a completely random commercial for Mexican food. Though some people seemed to have a problem with the missing reels, the one in Planet Terror was really funny (in my opinion). My only caution is that you will probably find yourself having to go the bathroom. Well, I sat through this entire movie bursting so you won't have to. Trust me, as soon as Death Proof starts run to the bathroom. The credits are pretty long and all you see is Jungle Julia's feet hanging out the window as the yellow lettered starting credits roll. This is the time to sprint for the toilet if you have to go (like I really had to). And that's how much I enjoyed this movie; I wouldn't even go to the bathroom (though I was about ready to burst) because I didn't want to miss a moment.
