[Every fourth Friday of each month this year
will be Grindhouse night. I will watch
two exploitation flicks back to back.
This gives me an excuse to visit my favorite store,
I Luv Video, and explore all the different films from
the grindhouse era.]
Tonight's first feature is:
I Spit On Your Grave
Brutal. That's a good word to describe this
killer exploitation flick.
It has a slow start but it delivers at the end.
My favorite scene, the infamous bathtub scene.
These people get what they deserve for messing
around with this woman.
Good ending.
For movies in general, this was alright.
But, for a grindhouse picture, this is badass cinema.
She cuts the main dude in the bathtub, then
she goes downstairs and puts on a song while
the dude screams in the background.
Awesome.
I never took the acting seriously.
I just had fun with it.
It's gritty and sleazy and vengeance is in the air.
Worth to check out and a must buy
for fans of grindhouse cinema.
To continue the female revenge flick theme,
the second feature is:
Ms. 45
This is kind of a revenge flick but not really.
The girl here gets fed up with men and
begins a killing spree against the male race.
Innocent people die. But that's okay.
Love the way they did the party scene.
It felt like a David Lynch picture
with all that jazz music.
I heard about this movie a long time ago, but
never had the chance until now.
It was okay. There's some good cinematic moments
like the scene where our main character is pretending
she's shooting with her nun costume.
Some scenes feel like a bad 80's movie.
It was good to check out.
But, if I had a choice between this and Thriller: A Cruel Picture,
I would go with Thriller.
Not bad for my first Grindhouse night of the year.
I would try to mix things up in upcoming ones.
Like having one focusing on kung fu, and others
on different sub-genres.
