GRINDHOUSE REVIEW BY STAN HECK

Well let me start off with saying 9 out 10 movies that come out need to be edited down. There too long. In fact I think if "King Kong" & "Superman Returns" were each edited by 30 minutes they would of been bigger hits. "Grindhouse" is no exception but that doesn't mean its a bad movie its just too long. "Grindhouse" is 2 movies in 1. Both of these movies could have been edited down by about 20 minutes each maybe even more. The first movie "Planet Terror" suffers the most because the audience knows that the girl is going to get a machine gun leg. The second movie "Death Proof" suffers because there is endless talking. Out of four stars I give the movie 2 1/2 stars. Maybe now Hollywood will return to the good old days where movies were no longer than 2 hours!
