Pros And Cons Of A Regular Oven

(RODRIGUEZ)

Finally, here it is!
The second film "Grindhouse" (an American concept where there was a succession in the same evening two B-movies, or Z, interspersed with trailers of the same style) , supposed to do after Death Proof Quentin Tarantino, which I also just put the criticism just after, which will be easier for everyone ...
In a rather amazing, the DVD appears on the face of the actor's most famous film (which resumed here - very briefly - its role and look great villain in Curfew Edward Zwick), while his name is not on the DVD cover or even early in the credits - which is reminiscent of previous famous by Sean Connery in Robin Wood , or Christopher Walken in Sleepy Hollow :

This is not the slightest traits of humor that Opus, attacking from the outset by a hilarious trailer for a movie that does not exist, Machete , played by Danny Trejo indescribable that all fans of Heat recognize immediately:

kitsch More than that, you die! Must See in VO, of course:

Last nod before attacking the logo of the director's own box (like what all Mexicans are not necessarily bigoted superstitious, lol!):

And so the film can finally start (In a manner just as hot as that of Tarantino , moreover, which was also part of the codes of "Grindhouse"):

And very quickly to a far more "gore"

To be honest, I do not like this film a masterpiece , far from here, even (unlike many people, I much prefer that of Tarentino ) ... But what saves it is the humor, willingness to parody in "bigger than life" the archetypes of the genre best known as The Night of the Living Dead or Invasion of the Body Snatchers , and from this point of view, it works perfectly:

For so is that one is a bit familiar parodied said Codes, otherwise, the salt of course the thing disappears in favor of a film virtually no theme, no history and no scenario (note that there has been music similar cases, as when Stravinsky Prokovief amused themselves pervert the baroque and classical authors!). In summary: Following the leak of nerve gas, any part of the population finds itself gradually transformed into hideous zombies who obviously have only one idea in mind, contaminate the few survivors:

As you can see, it is difficult to get any easier (although there are also masterpieces that take two lines, like Duel or Alien ).

few references to Death Proof passage: first, the use of certain bikes that, too, are bigger than life!

But mostly use the same actress Rose McGowan (Pam, Tarantino's film), which represents here the starring role of the killer in the leg-gun, so kitsch itself that one wonders how many people have taken this movie at first - even second - degree, so it's huge:

The pitching has been summarized in two lines, taking advantage of it to say a few words from some of the actors ... Michael Parks, who in some fun still plays under the name of Earl McGraw, whether Death Proof or both Kill Bill, where he also embodies the same role of sheriff

Michael Biehn, we had not seen in a big production for a long time, and that the poor will still find a When trying to save the world after his signature roles in Terminator and Aliens :

Another very famous actor, you'll no doubt a little difficult to recognize (I swear it's almost a quote from Dune , David Lynch):

Phew, it's better there, lol !

Although it occupies only a tiny place (albeit important) in the film, but at least we are glad to learn that he has descended public enemy No. 1, and by chance, in addition, MDR!

And of course, a fleeting appearance of Tarentino, sympathetic Warren Death Proof here just credited as "Rapist # 1":

Anyway, as already said, what really saves the film is its humor in the third degree, such as the emergence of totally incongruous subtitles German so fleeting:

This warning to pee from laughing at the boss of BAR BQ, while the spectators were already crumbling under twelve tons of hemoglobin:

As in the only romantic scene in the film, just as it begins to degenerate into a torrid scene well:

And damn! Reel missing, lol!

The chase mini-bike is also its weight in gold (citation obvious Vanishing Point ), of course:

Like when dying The boss of famous bar BQ finally agreed to reveal his brother's famous barbecue sauce recipe:

Good. I'll stop there, otherwise we will still accuse me of making a huge spoiler!

In any case, the end, I found ridiculous in the first times (for those who know, the level of that of Battle Royale II is to say!) me well entertained during a game replay:

To be quite honest, I had exactly the same problem with Death Proof , but I think it is only related to the fact that somewhere, and our mind our eyes, conditioned by thousands of production "standard", tend to have only one type of approach - highly formatted - at the discovery a new movie.

But when we realized that, and one begins to play, in collusion with the authors, the exercise style (I will not remind you of the eponymous book by Raymond Queneau, while as confusing at first), well in short: it's a real RĂ©galade!

PS 1: Despite the false "scratches" and other defects simulated film (even more than in the film Tarantino), it is noted that the entire film was shot entirely in digital, which apparently left to the actors and the director greater freedom of expression - Because not limited by the exorbitant price of 35mm, as of course we know (almost) everyone, since everyone now has a small camera in the same style!

PS 2: The concept of "Grindhouse" is virtually unknown in Europe, the Weinstein brothers - producers' appointed Rodriguez and Tarantino - have finally decided to adapt our practice to leave the two films separately, which We were unfortunately missing some tasty fake trailers in between films, and other no less sympathetic, published after a little contest launched on the Internet. But fortunately, I am there ... And you can see all these little goodies hereby !

Thank who?
