(Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, US 2007, 191 min.)

Maverick filmmakers Rodriguez and Tarantino team up to recreate the ’70s exploitation double feature experience, complete with scratchy prints and even fake trailers (directed by Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Rob Zombie). Rodriguez’s Planet Terror is a gory John Carpenter-esque zombie flick featuring Rose Mac- Gowan, Josh Brolin, and Bruce Willis. Tarantino’s Death Proof is a positively sublime homage to the car chase movies of the ’70s, starring Kurt Russell as the perverse and murderous “Stuntman Mike” who meets his match in a tough group of young women, including real-life stunt artist Zoe Bell. The only place to truly experience Grindhouse is in a theater, so don’t miss your chance to catch this enormously enjoyable and overlooked gem the way it was intended.
