I loved this movie. My review will be in three parts. Each part will be one of the different movies plus the fake trailers Death prooth: I give this movie 3 stars. The movie was boring and I heard some of the most most useless conversations ever. But these borings seens made the actions schenes a lot cooler. Overall pretty good.

Planet Terror: I give this 5 stars. This whole movie was great(excluding the balls sequence). Nonstop voilence zombie film. What more could you ask for? Fake trailers

Machete
The funniest of the fake trailers its about some guy who kills or something. I heard its going to be actual film

Dont This one also funny

Werewolf women of the SS
This one was also really funny

Thanksgiving
This one was kinda stupid but decent.

Overall I give grindhouse 5 stars.

“Planet Terror�

Another wonderfully entertaining film from Robert Rodriguez.

The film is full of plenty of well paced action sequences, and many wonderfully over the top, but likeable, characters. Both Rose McGowan and Freddy Rodriguez are superb as the action heroine and hero of the movie, and I really would love to see them in even more action based roles in the future.

The film seems to suffer from an unfortunate slow down period in the last third of the film, but otherwise, this film is definitely recommended to all action movie fans.

7/10

Planet Terror kicks f**kin' ass! Death Proof was ok, could use more to the plot. Planet Terror had everything. Comedy, blood, gore & ZOMBIES!

Good double feature with funny / discusting faux trailers in between. Planet Terror is action packed, funny and gory. Whilst Deathproof is what you'd usually expect from Quentin Tarantino - good (but sometimes slow) pacing, well written dialogue and the occasional car crash. Overall a decent movie that keeps your attention over the three hour running time. A must see for old grindhouse devotees or Tarantino / Rodriguez fans.The Movie can only be appriciated fully in cinema amoung the audience joining in with the laughter, the gasps and the occassional gross out.

  This monumentally pointless movie is best summarized by a line from Planet Terror: "At some point in your life, you find a use for every useless talent you have." Rodriguez, Tarantino, and Co. aim for nothing more noble than to freak the funk, and it's about godd--- time. Go wasted, go stoned, go without your parents' permission. In paying homage to an obsolete form of movie culture, Grindhouse delivers a dropkick to ours.

  Grindhouse, like "Ed Wood" and "Boogie Nights," celebrates how certain low-grade entertainment, viewed in hindsight, looks different now than it did then, since we can see the ''innocence'' of its creation -- the handmade quality of it -- in a world not yet ruled by corporate technology.

  I suspect that Death Proof will throw some of its director's admirers for a loop, though it may be the most revealing thing Tarantino has yet done -- a full-throttle expression of a singular artistic temperament disguised, like so many gems of grindhouses yore, as a glittering hunk of trash.

  The only criticism that seems to merit any real discussion is whether directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino actually did make real grindhouse-style fare. To whit, I can easily say: yes, they not only made two on-point grindhouse films, they did them to painful perfection.

  We need filmmakers who can move us forward even as they maintain a sense of the past. To that end, Grindhouse captures a bit of rowdy movie history in a bell jar.

  You don't need to be an exploitation fanboy to appreciate the energy, imagination, and spirit with which Rodriguez and Tarantino pay homage to the cheapo cinema they love.

  Tarantino and Rodriguez want you to cover your eyes in disbelief and get the unholy giggles at the same time. You do, but in two very different ways, and that's the movie's strength.

  Critics are already comparing the two movies and largely agreeing that Tarantino?s story about a psychopathic stuntman who targets women for highway carnage is the best. I disagree.

  As much as I enjoyed much of it, I hope Grindhouse doesn't start any trends. Exploitation cinema is combustible stuff that only highly trained professionals should be permitted to play with.

  In all, it's a fun exercise in nostalgia but a three-hour homage to grade Z movies is a long sit. Grunge overload sets in early.

  Like the best of its forebears, Grindhouse contains thrills to keep viewers in their seats, plus moments to think about on the ride home, which will probably seem unusually fraught with peril.

  The fun is in the one-thing-after-another delirium the movie induces, and in our breathless anticipation of what they'll hurl at us next.

  Planet Terror delivers only momentary kicks...while Tarantino's Death Proof is a juicy, delicious treat, its pleasures stem much less from the play with genre conventions than from great dialogue and electric performances.

  Value has been added as well -- the most thrilling car chase ever committed to film, a sequence that also shows, by cutting to the psychosexual chase, why fans embraced the tawdry genre in the first place.
