Viewed: Grindhouse and Hot Fuzz

The amazing thing about Grindhouse is that the trailer fully conveys to the viewer exactly what they will think of the finished product. This becomes an issue when the movie is a loving homage to the kind of cult classic films that only a select group of people have seen, let alone loved. This translated into the low box-office numbers that are puzzling various media groups. That and potential audiences hearing the phrase, "In one scene, Quentin Tarintino tries to rape a girl before his balls completely liquefy."

I liked it well enough, but was still left with the feeling that the film
wasn't for me.

As for Hot Fuzz, I am fully confident that you have already seen the movie, and that we agree that it kicked some serious ass. Unless you're Tomfoolery, in which case we'll just have to agree that you should see it, and that you will presuppose that it kicks ass.

No, I'm not giving you a choice about this.
