Grindhouse

Just checked out the double feature movie Grindhouse. Three and a half hours of pure movie going fun! Of the two movies “Planet Terror” was somewhat predictable since it was a zombie infestation type movie, but “Death Proof” was not what I had in mind. Of the two I really enjoyed “Death Proof” the most, since it was a little more plausible than “Planet Terror”.

I can only wonder how someone came up with the idea to have an amputee dancer with machine gun for a leg. You may have seen this character from the various movie trailers aired. One scene in particular, which has been shown in the trailer, is when she uses the grenade launcher that is attached to machine gun to boost herself into the air to shoot up some zombies, when I saw that I yelled out “Rocket Jump!” Not sure why, but that is the first thing that came into my mind

Within the movie itself there were trailers for other Grindhouse type films, not sure if they will ever be made for a sequel or just added for filler material, but enjoyable nonetheless.
