 Like Car Movies? You'll love "Death Proof"! June 24, 2010
Prox (St. Louis, MO USA)
MOVIE:
"Death Proof" - part two of the Rodriguez/Tarantino "Grindhouse" feature - is, simply put, a darn good time. The movie pays homage to both horror films and car flicks from the 60s & 70s, and it does so quite well. If you were a fan of "Vanishing Point", "Bullet", "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry", etc. then you'll love Tarantino's take on mean cars being driven at high speeds. The movie may start off a bit slow for some of today's audience, but if you're more of a fan of getting to know and love the characters then you likely won't even notice. After about the 20 minute mark you'll be sucked in and by the last 30 minutes you'll pretty much only be sitting on the edge of your seat.
BLU RAY:
The "Death Proof" master was purposefully scratched and beat up, which does an excellent job of imparting the feeling that you're really watching an old car movie. You can tell the video quality wants to shine through, however, and I think the Blu Ray version is definitely worth picking up over the DVD. Even though the film is scratched, you never see any aliasing or video artifacts that would suggest a sub-par transfer. The movie looks exactly as it should. Now, "Part 2" of the movie (no further detail given to avoid spoilers) is where the Blu Ray quality really gets a chance to shine. The scratches go away and the film is presented in greyscale as the setting is transitioned. Then, almost abruptly, the film switches to full, gorgeous (blemish-free) color. The contrast to the panchromatic footage is astounding. Rich colors fill the screen and stay for the remainder of the movie.
Overall, a great film for anyone looking for a tense-but-not-too-serious Saturday night special. Definitely recommended.

Classic Quetin Tarantino and a surprising performance from Kurt Russell. Tarantino's reputation as a star builder will probably be reinforced by the casting of stunt woman Zoe Bell to a major on-screen role. His decision to re-create the poor video quality of the orignal grind house movies conflicts with the blue-ray format. A must have for all Quentin Tarantino fans.
 Interesting concept. May 7, 2010

I am a huge fan, but QT made this and then everyone in the room (watching) nauseous. Truthfully, kids cannot rationally watch it- no doubt obvious. But adults- it just really missed the mark for the people I know. These are people who think Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are among the best. My girlfriend and I loved the spoofiness, but then it drags on. Retro as both Grindhouse pictures are, Planet Terror was a hit with the group. Deathproof quite easily was opposite in its effect and had moments and a general theme that was unhealthy and unnecessary for a man of talent (QT I mean).

For an exploitation flick this one sure is slow. Plenty of mindless banter and girl talk but little action. The car chase at the end is great if you can stay awake for it. Pass on this and go for one of the films it emulates like Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, or just watch the far superior Planet Terror.
Fantastic!! April 8, 2010
