Robert Rodriguez

Robert Rodriguez, the renegade film director now based out of Austin Texas, cut his teeth on horror films with twist of the comics culminating in Sin City. He has a distinct, rapid-shot style, and low-budget is his middle name. Often teaming up with Quentin Tarantino (Zimbi-it), his latest film is one of a double feature with Tarantino, Grindhouse, harkening back to the grindhouse films of the '70s. Rodriguez' contribution to Grindhouse, Planet Terror, is about a brain-eating virus that he claims has a basis in real military weaponry.

Grindhouse (2007)

Written by

From: ferdyonfilms.com

Grindhouse (2007) By Marilyn Ferdinand Quentin Tarantino’s love of film genres, particularly those of the 1970s, is well known to film fans. Robert Rodriguez is no stranger to low-budget, high-action films; he has something akin to a grindhouse aesthetic. The two writer/directors first teamed up on the wildly inventive and entertaining vampire Western From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). I always imagine that Tarantino and Rodriguez were jawing one day when Q.T. said "Let's put on a grindhouse double bill,"—B exploitation films sandwiched between trailers of other (in this case, nonexistent) exploitation films. Being the skillful filmmakers they are, Rodriguez and Tarantino turn in films ... Read Full Story

From: geekyguide.blogspot.com

My partner and I had thoroughly enjoyed Planet Terror when we finally got around to watching it but given the somewhat lesser reviews for the other half of the Grindhouse double-feature, Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof . I already went into the whole exploitation film concept that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez were paying homage to with their two films since I pretty much established that in my review of Planet Terror , so let's just jump right into the action. Death Proof is essentially the story of Stuntman Mike ( Kurt Russell ), a sadistic former stuntman who preys on young women using his ... Read Full Story

[Movies] From Dusk Till Dawn

Written by

From: geekyguide.blogspot.com

Like most other fanboys, I have a healthy appreciation for the works of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez . They have certainly developed a flair with rather violent movies that act as an homage to a very specific cult-favored sub-genre of film making. From Dusk Till Dawn was one of their earlier collaborations and pretty much a precursor to their most recent, double-feature project, Grindhouse. It had all the usual stuff - very wordy dialog, excessive blood and fairly big ticket actors here and there but in comparison to their other works, I can't quite call this one of my favorites. From Dusk Till ... Read Full Story
