Death Proof
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
I guess I didn’t get the point of this film. After spending the first hour watching some overly-wordy girls having a lot of unlikely conversations about cack-all, I was just about nodding off, when a bit of excitement happened. Highlight of the film it turns out, as the second half then continues with some different girls continuing with unlikely conversations, and you think, actually that first half might not have been all that dull. I am going to tell friends to avoid this, or in any case don’t pay money to see it. I spent about two hours on this and I won’t get those back! We can only hope that now Tarantino has got this crap out of his system he can start making proper films again, which actually are funny/controversial/stylish.
Who knew they made a sequel? Found this little gem and last night got round to watching it. Mostly recommended if only for the US reaction to something in Korea that’s missile shaped, but potentially a big empty missile shaped object - MUST send in an elite squad of Navy Seals to blow it up. Then when it goes wrong and a bunch of them end up in the wrong place, I’m fairly sure that Standard Operating Procedure doesn’t involve shooting the locals/soldiers of countries you’re not at war with. I’m no expert though. The injustice of straight-to-video means that most people will miss this beauty. Doesn’t feature Owen Wilson, or any of the original cast as far as I could tell. A good Thursday night film, you know.
