Grindhouse
Grindhouse may still be a couple weeks out, but that doesn't mean reviews haven't begun to pop up for the film. As expected, the reports claim that Grindhouse will kick you in the balls so hard you go around the horn and demand for more. There is one catch, however, as Tarantino gets called out as the "Achilles' heel" of the production.
I know, I know, read on.
Blood Soaked Grindhouse Reviews
After searching around the internet I was able to find three reviews that should best sum up what to expect from Grindhouse. Check out a snippet from each below:
IGN
Grindhouse is the latest film by Quentin Tarantino, a celebration if not culmination of his lifetime love for B-, C- and Z-grade exploitation movies. Yet strangely enough, this is not his best work. A groundbreaking co-production with longtime creative partner Robert Rodriguez, the anthology aims to recall the low budget double-feature format pioneered in the 1960s and '70s, but update its formulas with modern-day money and technical know-how. While this appears to have liberated Rodriguez, a director who has toiled for more than a decade in otherwise overdressed genre pictures, it curiously has exposed Tarantino's filmmaking Achilles' heel -- namely, his inability to distinguish when that celebration of movie magic interferes with a well-told tale.

So worth the wait or not…? Hell yeah! This is a twisted tribute to the red-headed bastard step-child of cinema. It won’t please everybody with it’s over-the-top blood spewing, sore popping, flesh eating first segment to the dialogue driven rants about f*cking and whether one girl would give a lap dance or another should give a guy head. It’s rude and crude and sadly a bit dragged out with the vehicular horror of “Death Proof” but on a whole, it is an amazing experience that had me at “Machete”.

Remember, when George W. Bush was elected, and he said that thing about how, by 2008, we’d have “movies that would explode in our balls like a shotgun filled with handjobs”?
Well, that promise came true two days ago when I saw GRINDHOUSE in Hollywood. Except not only was it a shotgun full of handjobs exploding in my balls, but also my balls suddenly knew how to make fire using karate. All from seeing GRINDHOUSE, a movie that’s made of screaming car crash zombie boobs.
