Planet Wonderful

I usually like Roger Ebert because he really enjoys movies and can appreciate a fun, stupid movie as well as classics. Some movie reviewers clearly hate their lives and take out their frustrations in their weekly column. Either that or they hope we'll think they're really smart if they hate EVERYTHING except the most abstruse, obscure, foreign art-house flick.

But Roger hated "Planet Terror"! I guess everyone else did too, the ones who actually went and watched it. The trailers and posters were pretty misleading because you think it's about a chick with a gun for a leg, but that's only at the very end, it's really a Zombie Movie!! Well, really it's about four movies squeezed uncomfortably into the cab of a speeding monster truck, bleeding, armed and headed off a cliff.... But it's action enough for an action movie, icky enough for a horror movie, *rong* enough to be grindhouse and funny enough to be a parody evocative of the genre. I thought it was good. I, apparently, am a 15 yo boy.

I thought Grindhouse was great! I see you are a fan of the Coen's, you have thoughts on Mo Country for Old Men? I love TLJ, he was awesome in the Three Burials, too.

I haven't seen NCfOM yet!! For some reason we are not worthy of "limited release" films, but it might be here Wednesday. TLJ is awesome [adds "3 burials" to Netflix queue]
