Red State (2011)

Red State (2011) – Well this is sure as shit a change of pace from Mallrats, I can tell you… Really, there’s nothing unusal about a film-maker switching up styles (James Mangold seems to do it with every movie), but Kevin Smith has carved such a smart-ass niche for himself that it’s actually pretty shocking … Continue reading →

Hobo with a Shotgun (2011) – In 2007 Grindhouse aimed to bring back exploitation cinema in a big way. It did, but the movie’s less-than-stellar box office returns nixed Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s big plan to make a whole series of these types of films. Grindhouse came complete with fake trailers. One of them, … Continue reading →

Grindhouse (2007) — Sweet Jesus I have been waiting for this for about three years, ever since I got out of the theater after seeing this the first (and until now only) time.  Planet Terror and Death Proof have been available separately for years now but this is what Grindhouse was all about: getting the … Continue reading →

Planet Terror (2007)

Planet Terror (2007) — I fucking love this movie because it just goes for broke on awesomeness.  It may not actually scare anyone (although it has a spider and spiders freak me right the fuck out) but it does entertain from beginning to end.  I still lament that the full theatrical Grindhouse experience is not … Continue reading →
