Movie Reviews of Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Near the mark
Summary: 4 Stars
The film commences with "Our forthcoming presentation" an excellent fake trailer for "Machete". However if you check the IMDB you will find that Machete is a film in production! In the trailor for Machete the whole plot seems to be given away - now doesn't that sounds familiar. So what about Planet Terror? Well having recently watched Death Proof I really wasn't expecting much, but this is much nearer the mark than Tarantino's effort.
A zombie movie, with classy B movie actors who supply the type of performance you would expect from a major production that pays homage to many movies from the 1970's and 1980's. So long as you've got a reasonably strong stomach and you don't mind the slightly 1970's misogynist edge to the whole thing its really entertaining.
I was never a fan of Rodriguez until I saw Sin City, and this is almost as good as that. It only lets itself down in one area, that is the fake early 1970's era scratchy film quality which is over-played hugely. Its a one-joke technique played for 1 hour 40 min. Overall though great fun.
Movie Review: ROBERT RODRIGUEZ, OPUS 11
Summary: 4 Stars
***1/2 2007. Written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. When a toxic product is released in the air, infected people who died become zombies and terrorize the rest of the population. PLANET TERROR is a popcorn movie, that's about all I can say about this motion picture. And I can say the same thing about every Robert Rodriguez movies I've seen, with the exception of Sin City - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) maybe because the material Rodriguez worked on wasn't his. When Quentin Tarantino is able to create a film with the same material, Robert Rodriguez will only make a motion picture. That's the difference between an author and a very talented director who hasn't nothing peculiar to say. I enjoyed PLANET TERROR for what it's worth though and I also really liked the preview of MACHETE with Danny Trejo and Cheech Marin. But 12 hours after having seen this movie, I'm already starting to forget it. Recommended.Movie Review: low budget
Summary: 2 Stars
if you like lots of gore in a mutant smashing zombie thriller, this is the one. But unfortunately their low-budget has caused a deleted scene towards the end which leaves the viewer a bit confused. Perhaps they should have used the money they spent on the director's cut and done the scene properly.Movie Review: Tarintino/Rodriguez
Summary: 4 Stars
This was another excellent "B" movie....both Tarintino and Rodrigez have done an excellent job on these Grindhouse Movies...keep 'em coming..Looking forward to Rodriguez's Next Movie "Machete" was supposed to start filming in Feb 08 but haven't heard anything else on it.....

Movie Review: CLASSIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is scary, and funny, A must see. However, If you are the type of person who watches a movie and looks for all the bad stuff as opposed to just watching the movie, then don't watch it. It is worth seeing, the actors were great and it is just as good as Death Proof, maybe not better, but just as good.
