Movie Trailer Reviews

I like watching movie trailers and then reviewing the movie based on the information gleaned from them. I work at the Telluride Film Festival, and I get to see quite a few movies well before their domestic release dates, so I have a little insight into those movies as well. Because the TFF program isn't released until the day of the festival, I like to try and guess what might show up here.

Grindhouse



I don't normally review stuff that I can't find on Apple.com/trailers, but this one deserves all the attention it can get. Rodriguez and Tarantino join forces for an exploitation double feature. There's a girl with an m-16 for a leg. Need I say more?

Update 4/13/07: After seeing the movie, I am still impressed. The first feature (Planet Terror) is definitely trashier and grittier than the second (Tarantino's Death Proof). One of the best parts of the film are the trailers for the fake films. Definitely worth a look and the DVD promises to be a treasure trove of bonus footage, I think.

Anticipated rating: 10/10
Actual Rating: 9/10 (Death Proof wasn't exploitational enough)
