Gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge...

That's right I saw Grindhouse this weekend. And you know what? I have no idea why this is not doing better in theaters! I laughed my ass off. Not because it was bad or not scary. I laughed my ass off because both of the films were really well done for 1970's homages. I think a lot of people have the idea that these are serious horror movies in the vain of Halloween or Psycho or something.

Guess what people? Your missing the point. These films are supposed to be homages to those cheap-sleazy-funny horror movies of the 70's. So when you go see Grindhouse just pretend that it's 1975 and your paying 4.50 for 2 films plus trailers. Oh and did I mention the trailers? They are awesome. My favorite two by far are "Don't" and "Thanksgiving". Yes, I did like Thanksgiving. I know it was done by Eli Roth (who I like to bash on) but on this he did a really good job. So congrats on that Eli. My other favorite thing is that several people got up and left after the first movie, not realizing it was a double feature! C'mon how thick do you have to be?

Other than that if you live in Central Texas you will see a ton of references in these movies from the Texas Chili Parlor to the Alamo Drafthouse. So go out and check out two funny horror movies for around 6.50. You can't beat a double feature......
