    Death Proof  (2007)

    My expectations were through the roof, so I feel slighted that I didn't love Death Proof.  It's basically 2 car chases/crashes surrounded by 90 minutes of dialogue.  It's Tarantino, so the dialogue is mostly fun even for the 99 percent of the earth's population (that includes me) that will only pick up on obscure pop culture references when they're explicitly spoon fed. 

    Even though I didn't love it, I will recommend it to anyone who like any one of QT's other movies.  That includes all you lovers of Kill Bill who dis my beloved Jackie Brown!

    Premonition  (2007)

    Remember the old saying from T2 that Sara Conner passed on to John?  This is a feature film all about it.  Even if events are altered, is the overall course of history pre-determined?  The premise probably looked great in a script, but Mennan Yapo couldn't get over the atmosphere hurdle.  For a drama like this, you need some distinct atmoshpere -- for example, some hints that the alternate realities are being explored.  Premonition wasn't a complete disaster, it just lacked the artistic umph to make it really likeable.

    Rent it only if other flicks are out of stock at the woefully stocked Blockbuster.
