Movie Reviews of Grindhouse Presents, Death Proof - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Honest Quentin fan review
Summary: 1 Stars
So this movie was a double feature with Rodriguez's Planet Terror and usually Rogdriguez's films are pretty bad, enjoyable but bad. The results for Rodriguez's Planet Terror were basically as usual, maybe a little better, but the unfortunate thing For Tarantino was that his part, which is Death Proof, was so bad it actually made Planet Terror seem like a classic. Yes, being a big Tarantino fan who has enjoyed every single film he has made up until this point, it was something of the unexpected but frankly speaking, Death Proof was so darn boring. Usually the long dialogue is a major part of where his movies shine but here, it's just plain stupid nonsense going on forever, it's not interesting at all. And at the very very end, like for 20 minutes or so we get this chase scene which doesn't come near as close to covering up for the lame hour long crap we had to endure up until then. The people who have enjoyed this movie I believe are only the people who were able to enjoy the long dialogue scenes which in my opinon was not the same case compared to previous Tarantino classics. The dialogue scenes were so bad, I really had a hard time staying awake and that wasn't because I was in bad shape when viewing this, actually quite the opposite so that should give you an idea of how bad this movie is. I recall that this Grindhouse double feature totally flopped at the theaters and those who have seen this all know why it did so bad. I have a very open mind even for bad movies but man, this movie is as boring as films can get. Avoid at all costs and even if you're a big Tarantino fan, I would suggest viewing any of his previous films rather than going for this one, no matter how much time you have.

Summary of Grindhouse Presents, Death Proof - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
A deranged stuntman stalks his victims from the safety of his killer car, but when he picks on the wrong group of badass babes, all bets are off in an adrenaline-pumping, high speed, white-knuckle automotive duel of epic proportions, where anything can happen.Loud, fast, and proudly out of control, Grindhouse is a tribute to the low-budget exploitation movies that lurked at drive-ins and inner city theaters in the '60s and early '70s. Writers/directors Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) cooked up this three-hour double feature as a way to pay homage to these films, and the end result manages to evoke the down-and-dirty vibe of the original films for an audience that may be too young to remember them. Tarantino's Death Proof is the mellower of the two, relatively speaking; it's wordier (as to be expected) and rife with pulp/comic book posturing and eminently quotable dialogue. It also features a terrific lead performance by Kurt Russell as a homicidal stunt man whose weapon of choice is a souped-up car. Tarantino's affection for his own dialogue slows down the action at times, but he does provide showy roles for a host of likable actresses, including Rosario Dawson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rose McGowan, Sydney Poitier, and newcomer Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in Kill Bill. Detractors may decry the rampant violence and latch onto a sexist undertone in Tarantino's feature, but for those viewers who grew up watching these types of films in either theaters or on VHS, such elements will be probably be more of a virtue than a detrimental factor. -- Paul Gaita
