GRINDHOUSE RULES....ENOUGH SAID

Exploitation, "Drive In" Gridnhouse films are in a word EPIC. During the 60' and 70' it was all about the drive in crowd, or more importantly what the crowd wanted to see and what was that??? Ummmmm VILOENCE hello who dosent wanna see pepole getting torn apart, shot to peices, and maimed in every way possible?? Well i will tell you two people who grew up with these movies and thought Hey we should make a grindhouse movie. But first allow me to explain what the term "Grindhouse" entails. A misconseption is that Grindhouse is a style of film, when in fact the "Gringhouse" is a theater or drive in at witch an "Exploitition" film is shown. With a very self explanatory name "explotiation" films are well.. often very Explict, in gore, sexual thems, and just about anything else you can think of and strive to be "shocking" to the aueience. These "shock films" where big during the seventies and eight and during this time two little directors by the name of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. If you do not know who these two are....well it is not my place to judge why you are reading a film blog.....so please take a second and GOOGLE EM... really i will wait.................................... IMPRESSIVE EH?? yeah so pick you jaw up off the ground time to refocus. When you looked at the list of wors you may have seen Grindhouse "Plant Terror" and "Death Proof" prespectively, well as i was saying during the time these two fine directors where growing up it just happen to be the hay day of slews of twenty day shooting time "explotiation" films. So these two tried ther hand at making there own Exploitition films matching everything from the double feature feel with the advertisements before and between films, to the way these films became battered and often lost reels during the travel from one grindhouse to the next. I must say that they KICKED ITS ASS. These movies Rock and every trailer is just as epic as the film it preseats. With guestdirectors such as Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and Edgar Wright the fake previews have become as much of a cult hit as the two features. Both films bring there own set of gems to the equation such as a mutated Bruce Willis and a Beautyful Rose McGowin with a M4 leg from Rodregiez' Planet Terror to um......Kurt Russle as a Killer Car driver in Death Proof need i say more?? NO is the answer these movies TOATLY RULE and are a good watch for any fan of either Director, my one wish is that i could have seen these jems during its 25 million dollar stint in theaters (should have blown Transformers out of the water) So get em' Dig em' and Comment me PEACE!

MOM??

The Kids are All Right.... A film by Lisa Cholodenko if this is a direcotr that you have never herd of you are not alone my freind. However i was drawn to this movie (not just beacuse it is about lesbians) but more importatnly i saw the name Julianne Moore. I mean come on Children of men, Hannibal, And the Big Labowski need i say more. There is not much of a doubt in my mind that Julianne Moore is one hell of a actress right up there with Jody Foster (sorry babe) and Maryl Streep. So i was interested and i watched. I was pleasently suppriesd, this film has one of the most intristin plots i have seen in a length of time. A lesbian Couple Nic and Jules have two teenage kids, a son and a daughter thanks to there sperm donor Paul portrayed by Mark Ruffalo. The relation ship is good all around but something goes asque and sorry no spoliers here just watch the movie it is worth your hour and a half. Other than a pridictable ending and some laugh worthy acting, over all i must say i will be looking into veiwing more of Lisa Cholodenko's work.
