Movie Reviews of Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: GRINDHOUSE
Summary: 5 Stars
STARZ CABLE CHANNEL IS NOW SHOWING GRINDHOUSE THAT PLAYED IN THEATERS COMPLETE WITH ALL THE TRAILERS...AWESOMEMovie Review: Entertaining!
Summary: 4 Stars
Here is another entry into the spoof the Night of the Living Dead series. This one is highly entertaining. It is made like it is being shown in a cheap movie theater in the 70's with breaks in the film and coming attractions to other movies (they show a spoof called Machete). Rose McGowan alone makes this movie as she is one of the sexiest looking stars in movies. During the movie she loses a leg but her boyfriend later replaces it with a machine gun for which she then starts mowing down the zombies. My only question is how did she fire that gun since it is attached to a hook on her leg stump?Movie Review: Pure entertainment. OUTRAGOUS!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Of the two movies joined together, this one is far superior. This film would have been a big hit at the box office if it wasn't coupled with the Quentin Tarantino snoozer. "Death Proof" takes forever to get going. Way too much girlie chit-chat.
"Planet Terror" on the other hand, puts it all together on many levels. Gore, lots o' splatter, sexy babes, bubble faced zombies, explosions, mindless carnage......
Granted, this film sets new standards in bad taste.
I found myself laughing out loud at the absurd action.
If you are emotionally retarded and never really matured past pubescence, you'll love this film.
My life long quest for the lowest common denominator has ended right here.
Movie Review: Gore Galore
Summary: 3 Stars
Planet Terror is the sort of the film that you enjoy because you know that the actors and producers had probably more fun making it than you do watching it. There is a lot to like about Robert Rodriguez' new horror film which is just a usual run-of-the-chemical-factory zombie movie with a budget. Those who remember the zombie flicks of the 1980s, which didn't take themselves too seriously, were heavy on the splatter, and got a few laughs along with the high haemoglobin count, will be at home with Planet Terror. Those expecting something of the calibre of the Dawn of the Dead remake will not be so impressed.
The cast contains very interesting performances, bringing some dead actors and actresses back to life. Planet Terror plays homage to every movie that has had a trickle of blood in it. There are big nods to Peter Jackson (head splitting gore) and Sam Raimi (the hero is an amputee). It does manage to try and flesh out what could have been paper-thin characters. Even the scene of one brother spilling his barbeque recipe manages a touching moment in a film which thinks having the heroine launch herself into the air from machine-gun-leg-recoil doesn't challenge our fresh brains.
In an era of direct-to-shelf bad horror movies, Planet Terror stands out because it does its best to revive the genre.
Movie Review: Not sure about this one
Summary: 3 Stars
This is by far the weirdest movie I have ever seen in my life!! It had really odd parts in it but maybe thats how grindhouse is. (this is the first grindhouse movie i've seen) it was really gory and everything happened really fast. I thought the thought of a girl having a gun as a leg was extremely wack but after seeing her in action with it it was kinda cool. I don't think I would ever watch this movie again but it was definitely an experience.
