Delivers all the trashy, seat-squirming, eye-covering moments your fiercely racing heart craves. Forget about "guilty pleasures." Call it a pleasure, and leave it at that.

This is a movie theater experience. It needs to be seen at night, with a big screen and lots of friends.

As amusing as the concept is, the actual result is a considerable disappointment - a high-tech forgery that lacks the disreputable charm of its models, which were made without the self-conscious affectation on display here.

Hopefully Rodriguez and Tarantino will make more of these.

A mediocre attempt to play with exploitation fire without getting burned. A pair of anti-septic fakes that miss the entire point of exploitation.

Has Tarantino ever made a singularly authentic, sincere, innovative frame of film in his entire life?

The trailers for grindhouse movies were always better than the films themselves. Sadly, the same is true of Grindhouse.

Each film would have fared better as a 15-minute short.

Grindhouse is both impressive and disappointing. From a technical and craft point of view it is first-rate; from its standing in the canon of the two directors, it is minor.

It is a movie about watching itself, and that is both solipsistic and pure genius.

[In Death Proof, Tarantino] gleefully subverts the genre to keep us thoroughly entertained.
