This is mainly because I have't seen many new films recently
And I've been busy with the return to school , and playing Grand Theft Auto 5 (Which I recommend!)
All I have been watching is a few things on Netflix, mostly Torchwood (Which I recommend!)
But what I did watch was the Double Feature: PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF
Now, for those who don't know, this was a little project done by Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Spy Kids, Machete) and one of my favourite Directors; Quentin Tarantino. They decided to both make a film based on the old Grindhouse Horror films of the 70's. Rodriguez made a vintage style zombie movie, whereas Tarantino did a film about a killer stunt-man who uses his menacing car to murder his victims.
Now, both films aren't done in all seriousness, they're a bit of fun with some artistic directing thrown in. But I found both of them thoroughly enjoyable.
Tarantino has said that Death Proof is his worst film, and in all fairness it is, but it was never meant to be the best.
They are both gory, funny and enjoyable action-horror flicks that make you feel like your watching an old 70s horror flick. They both have some great cast members (Josh Brolin, Kurt Russel and Bruce Willis to name a few). Personally, I enjoyed Planet Terror the most out of the two, as some scenes drag on a bit too long in Death Proof. I don't need to tell you much of the story at all, just to tell you it's an enjoyable couple of movies.
Don't expect to see an amazing film, expect to see a fun experiment into making an old horror flick. And if that was its goal, it did it well.
Planet Terror; Robert Rodriguez, 2007
Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino, 2007Now, back to business;
I will be doing some more film reviews when I next see something new, and also you may see some TV Reviews soon as well. Let's just say there's a few good programmes starting soon.
Also look out for upcoming news and stuff.
I've been the teenage film buff. Goodbye
