The Grind House - Tarantino and Rodriguez Team Up

Will a Four Hour Movie Work?

A pioneer of making films that are out of the ordinary, filmed strangely, and that kick butt at the theaters, Tarantino teams up with Robert Rodriguez to make what is called a Grind house flick. To clarify what a Grind house flick is, this was a popular double-feature film that was classic in the 70' and 80's. Can Tarantino resurrect the Grind house double feature or is a four hour movie just to long for movie goers?

The film trailer looks awesome, classic Tarantino, lots of violence and action with a strange plot line and filmed in a different way. Tarantino is known for making movies that don't conform to the norm of the typical movie experience and that is why a lot of his films are so successful and develop a cult following. People get bored with the same dull boring movies and remakes, how many TV shows are we going to turn into movies? Tarantino is a special taste that many people have really grown to like his style and the way he makes movies. This man is amazing as a writer and director and I expect his segment of the Grind house film will be great.

Robert Rodriguez is the man who brought us Desperado and Sin City; his style is much like Tarantino's by that I mean it doesn't conform to the norm. With him teaming up with Tarantino for the Grind house I am sure both segments of the film will impress the viewers. Rodriguez's segment is called "Planet Terror" and is about s small town's sheriffs' department taking on an outbreak of infected people called "sickos", think of Day of the Dead if Tarantino had directed it. In the "Planet Terror" segment a gun legged woman (that's right I told you don't think of anything normal for this film) named Cherry (Rose McGowan) and her martial arts wielding partner (Freddy Rodriguez) take on the army of zombies. Interesting enough to get my attention and since both Rodriguez and Tarantino are exceptional directors I will probably see if I can stand the 4 hour movie(s).
