I have to admit that I saw the TV ads for Grindhouse, but I didn’t really know what it was until I read this excellent review. It’s actually two different back-to-back movies by directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino - two of my favorites.

"I suppose the concept of the grindhouse is unfamiliar to most people of the college-age generation. It’s certainly not something I’m familiar with firsthand, unfortunately - by the time I was old enough to go to the movies by myself, the dirty old theaters or drive-ins that screened cheap exploitation films filled with sex and gore were all replaced by sanitized multiplexes. That’s good in some ways, but I guarantee that none of these places would dare play any of those old exploitation films such as “The Evil Dead,” “I Spit On Your Grave” or any Italian horror.

Thanks, then, to directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, who now bring the joys of their grindhouse experiences to the masses in an aptly-titled film. “Grindhouse” is more than three hours of unbridled film geek joy, a love letter to ’70s exploitation cinema and cheesy horror movies and a hell of a fun time at the theaters."
