| Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) - R |
I just got around to seeing this at last on DVD (13th March) and boy was it worth the wait.
Since it was on dvd, this was the extended version, but since i've never seen it at the cinema I don't know what was different. This film has almost zero plot, so if a deep story is what you're after then don't even think about watching this, hell don't watch it even if you want a puddle deep story after 5 mins of rain. What this movie has though it more than makes up for with its lack of plot because it's all so much FUN! I watched this movie with the audience reaction track on via the dvd and it was sooo much fun, I felt like I was watching this at the cinema, the print damage helped add to the charm, all in all, how I watched the movie sure added to the experience of it all so I give it an extra half star just for that. Badass Babes - Rose McGowan is just great in this, oh so sexy and oh so badass, she is even pretty funny (maybe she should do stand up? :P) Marley Shelton plays a sexy anesthesiologist who is having an affair with Stacy 'Fergie' Ferguson, yep she's a part time lesbian although I won't get your hopes up and tell you that anything happens during the movie because you'll only have your imagination for that (think of it as another missing reel from the movie if you must ;)) The Dudes - There's lots of top action hero at work here, I was pleased to see Michael Biehn back on the screen in a fun movie, I was a huge Biehn fan after Aliens and there was a time in the 80's and early 90s that I would rent every Biehn movie on VHS. Josh Brolin, Freddie Rodriguez, Naveen Andrews, Jeff Fahey and Bruce Willis all have really great parts, I always love seeing Tom Savini in a movie and it was cool having Carlos Gallardo (El Mariachi) in another Rodriguez movie, but none of them are as memorable as Rose with that machine Gun leg, Ok, maybe the Quentin Tarantino scene as Rapist #1 just makes 2nd place, I don't think the image of his melting wedding tackle will leave my nightmares anytime soon. Gore - The movie has bucket loads of the stuff, some really great moments are to be had here so if you love old school gore then this is the movie for you, Gregory Nicotero and his team do some great sfx work here and I'm sure there will be a few cringeworthy scenes (like the QT scene I mentioned) for you. The movie is pretty much just one action packed thrill ride filled with gore and funny one liners, there's a missing reel from the movie that takes away even more of what little plot there is but as long as you don't ask questions like "how can she fire that gun with her leg"? then you will be sure to love this movie. Oh Special mention for the score, it's ace and Rodriguez did a great job here. Also the fake Machete trailer that opens the movie is top notch and it's cool that Rodriguez is going to try and make the full movie. "I've seen me a lot of weird shit in my day, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. I seen me a stripper with one breast. And I seen me a stripper with twelve toes. I've even seen me a stripper with no brains at all, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. And I've been to Morocco." |

| The Punisher - R |
I remember when this was just coming out and I thought... "this is going to suck"
Then the reviews came out for it and it was a case of "this movies sucks" I took a chance on it anyway because it's Marvel and I was so glad I did. This movie turned out to be one of my faves of the new Marvel movies and I just watched it again on DVD (Feb 22nd 2008) Thomas Jane is just superb as the Punisher and does not play the character so cold as you don't like him, he has just the right amount of dead inside, but still with enough good to be a hero. The killing of his family and friends is not easy to watch, there's not millions of gore here (that's saved for later) but they are all killed in such a way that it sends a chill down your spine and sets the tone for what's to come when Frank Castle turns into the Punisher. There's a couple of comic book style characters thrown into the mix to battle Frank, and as fun as these are (the Russian fight being a highlight of the movie) they seem a little out of place, I've not seen the new directors cut yet so I hope there's some kinda of plot hole patching there. John Travolta plays over the top again but not so much as to bug you, he does not get that much screen time but when he does it's all good. The late Roy Scheider is in the movie as Franks dad and I kept waiting on him saying "we're gonna need a bigger gun" but he never did..Oh well! It was nice to see Rebecca Romijn in another Marvel movie without her next to nothing blue paint suit on, but I sure missed that blue paint...hehe. The story for the movie is pretty good and when Frank starts to punish, it's all very brutal the way it should be and the start of the movie reminds you that those SOBs all deserve it and then some, so it does not feel out of place and over the top. The thing I love most about this movie though is the score, the Punisher theme is just sublime, probably the best superhero theme since Tim burtons Batman. "Those who do evil to others - the killers, the rapists, psychos, sadists - you will come to know me well. Frank Castle is dead. Call me The Punisher." |
