"Since January 1st, 2008, I've been keeping track of all the films I've watched. Because I don't feel like taking the time to highlight each movie up until this point, I will start at the previous week, Week 29 and continue from now on. 328. The Dark Knight (2008) -My second time seeing it. Such a great movie. Although not good enough to be considered 'best film of all time'. 329. Teeth (2007) -The storyline attracted me to it. Within the first 20 minutes I wanted it to be done. I hated this thing so much. 330. Heima (2007) -Such a beautiful documentary for such an amazing band; Sigur Ros. Check them out if you haven't yet. 331. La Haine / Hate (1995) -One of the best French films I've seen. If there's one thing I'll remember about this movie years from now, it'll be the ending and how shocked I was after it was all said and done. 332. À ma soeur! / Fat Girl (2001) -There was something sad in the "

"It’s no surprise that Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, his addition to the B-movie throwback experiment Grindhouse, feels like a faster and funnier ride when separated from its double-feature partner, Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror. It’s easier to sit through this chatty thriller when it doesn’t come after a humdrum 80-minute zombie flick.

"From the first minute there could be no doubt that it was a real Tarantino movie, because the first shot revealed a couple of feet on a dashboard. And there they remained for most of the intro. But feet didn't remain the only well known things from the Tarantino universe. Mentions of Big Kahuna Burger and Red Apple as well as a pussywagon sticker could be spotted throughout the movie.The story is quite simple and inconsequential: Stuntman Mike has a Death Proof car which he likes to use to terrorize women. The movie tells two of Mike's 'adventures', whereas he 'succeeded' in the first part and walked off scott free he gets his comeuppance by the second group he chooses as victims.As usual in Tarantino flicks there are some hilarious dialogs and a unique style. This movie is dedicated to seventies trash movies. This manifests itself in several ways throughout the film, such as in the short clips warning the audience of the mature content of the movie, terribl ... "

Baseless criticism? Death Proof ...

"Okay, so not entirely baseless. I've read some of the criticism on this site, and tend toward the reaction: "aright. that's true....but-" But. But. what is this 'but' that nags me into stating that this is one of my favourite films of 2007?Evidence, exhibits A-D: Kirk Douglas is utterly brilliant as murderously deranged but (as may be more apparent upon second viewing) laughable Stuntman Mike, Zoe Bell is truly charming, totally somkin' hot, and her dual stunt woman/actress stint makes for some truly amazing shots. There is of course the awe-inspiring driving and white-knuckle crashes of the Great Buddy Joe Hooker, not to mention the drool-inducing throaty chorus of American Muscle Car. Shots are great, the joyful nostalgia infectious, etc. HOWEVER, what really gets me about this movie is the simple fact that i could not wipe the shit-eating grin that appeared during the diner scene from my face until around midway through the end credits. I ha ... "

"So my first review. Don't know why i picked this film to do it. Anyway, while this isn't Tarantino's greatest masterpiece (nowhere near the likes of Kill Bill, pulp fiction etc) i must admit i liked it. The way the movie is put together is very different to anything i've seen in a long time and is more like a film from the 70's 80's but i guess that was the idea. The majority of the film is entertaining with some humourous dialogue form Russell and a pretty good car chase. Worst part of the movie was the pointless conversations between the two groups of girls from the movie. It almost put me to sleep and should of been keep to a minimum. All in all if u are a fan of Tarantino's it's worth a watch. "

"Bryan Appleyard takes a look at the artists who died in 2007 for The Times, and says a few infuriating things about the state of comtemporary filmmaking in the process. The thrust of the piece is a bit of Summer 2007 nostalgia: “The deaths of Antonioni and Bergman drew painful attention to the lack of great European auteurs.” Post-colonial angst is SO exhausting, but let’s engage with it anyway, shall we? In assessing the year’s disappointments, Appleyard lumps Quentin Tarantino in with Francis Ford Coppola and Philip Roth as artists “who did not die but, somehow, faded.” He dismisses Tarantino on the grounds that Kill Bill was “dismal” (although, both critically and commercially, it was undeniably successful, at least in the States). Death Proof also gets an unrealistic drubbing. In calling Tarantino’s half of Grindhouse “not so much a film as an act of pathological self-indulgence [which] convinced even some of his most devoted fans that the game was up,” Appleyard ignores the fa ...

"I have to admit, I don't like a lot of blood and gore, even though I am a major horror fan but Quentin Tarantino has some good, sadistically fun movies. SPOILER ALERT: Here is a man who gets his kicks by killing women who are beautiful, fun, maybe semi famous, he's a serial killer and loves to push the envelope to see if he can survive in his death proof car. I thought it was pretty cool. I had NO expectations of this movie and just thought I'd watch it on DVD to see what all the hype was about (of course I was the same with the Kill Bill movies which I REALLY loved), anyway, I enjoyed it, I just kind of sat there and watched the story of this crazy maniac and him finally tangling with the WRONG girls who were just as crazy as he is. I loved the revenge part! Anyway, I think if you don't have any expectations of this film, and aren't expecting a whole huge plot, etc. You might like it. "

this film sucks

"is everyone on crack. I want the time back that I wasted watching this movie. so this is the thing I am simple minded. simple minded in the way that when I choose to watch a movie I want to be entertained. This movie did not complete that mission. simple right. please help me to be educated enough to understand why anyone would like this film. Is it because it was directed by Quentin? Or perhaps it fullfills some artsy fartsy sundance film BS that half of anybody could care less about. Example, " did you see the way he made it look like a 70s film". That's another thing that pissed me off about this movie. I didn't buy a plasma tv to watch films that look like crap. And just so everyone is aware this film (to me) sucked so bad that this is the first time i have ever posted on the internet. I had to post just to feel a little better. "

"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! "
