Grindhouse opens today!

Shameless, gory, hilarious... I'm sorry, but these movies look rad. Grindhouse is a double feature of Planet Terror (by Robert Rodriguez) and Death Proof (by Quentin Tarantino).

From a positive Salon review:

As movies have gotten more sophisticated, so have we, and in their double-feature B-movie homage "Grindhouse," Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez suggest, with the subtlety of a buzz saw headed for a villain's private parts, that we've lost something along the way. "Grindhouse" is the filmmakers' love letter to the cheaply made, rough-edged action and horror pictures that, in the '60s, '70s and early '80s, would play the crummiest, most run-down movie houses in the worst part of town, or perhaps, if you lived in a more suburban locale, the drive-in.
