Title: <\/strong>Death Proof (from Grindhouse)<\/p>\n

By:<\/strong> Quentin Tarantino<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

If there was an Academy Award for lifetime achievement of cool, Quentin Tarantino would win it hands down. He can’t act, and he has the imagination of a 14-year old, but no other director can deliver pure blood rush the way Tarantino can.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

His latest outing – Death Proof<\/i>, part of the 3 hour plus feature Grindhouse<\/a><\/i> – is a tribute to the kind of high-octane, rubber hits the road car flicks that turned road rage into low art; mock-testament to a world without special effects where men were men and cars were deadly weapons. More importantly, though, it’s a testament to Tarantino himself. Gone are the over the top CGI sequences of the Kill Bill<\/i> movies, and the fractured, jumpy narratives of Pulp Fiction<\/i>, this is Tarantino stripped to the bare essentials, and m*****f***** is he good! <\/p>\n

It’s a familiar formula. A bunch of slightly unlikely protagonists – recognizable as stereotypes, but just quirky enough to seem real. The street-smart, profanity laden banter at the local diner. The long periods of calm building up to a storm of almost orgasmic violence. The uber-cool soundtrack.  The gore. And the action sequences so fast-paced, so mind-blowing, as to set a dynamo in your heart. Forget logic, forget interpretation, forget character development – just sit back and let the adrenaline take over. <\/p>\n

P.S. Okay, so there’s a lot more to Grindhouse<\/i> than Death Proof<\/i>. There’s Robert Rodriguez’s mildly amusing spoof of a B-grade horror flick Planet Terror<\/i>, and a couple of hilarious mock-trailers (my favourite being Thanksgiving<\/i>). In the end, though, Death Proof<\/i> stands apart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
