2003-04 was the mark of 2 great movies, Kill Bill 1&2 directed by the ultimate Quentin Tarantino.
2005 Robert Rodriquez took us into the mind of Frank Miller for Sin City.
The last time these 2 worked together was From Dusk Til Dawn...
Now they are back together with 2 movies in one big shibang...GRINDHOUSE.
Yes you know this...WTF is a Grindhouse, in the 60s and 70s, theatres called Grindhouse's showed exploitation films such as Shaft in Africa or my favorite, I Spit on Your Grave.
Rodriguez and Tarantino are bringing this feel back to mainstream theatres, giving you 2 movies back to back, Death Proof & Planet Terror.
When a Grindhouse showed more than one movie, the theatre would show movie trailers for other movies that were playing that week...Tarantino and Rodriguez had some of they're buddies take advantage of that spotlight with some fake trailers that will been shown in the middle of the film. Directors; Eli Roth (Hostel), Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead), and Rob Zombie (Devil's Rejects/Halloween) have been brought on to show you they're faux trailers to they're "FAKE" movies.
Here's one...
Note: If you wanna save this for the release, don't watch this. Or if you gotta weak stomach, go watch Care Bears or something.
Watch the "Faux" trailer here.
Grindhouse is out this Friday.

Hey folks, sorry about my short absence. I've been caught up in all that cool college business, but luckily it's all over for some of us this weekend when Spring Break officially starts! I'll be making my trip down to the LB very soon to catch all the great festivities - one in particular I'm looking forward to is my band's second show with Mulatto on Monday, April 9 at Long Beach's Di Piazza. I'll go more into that subject later, because for now.... everyone in San Francisco should be aware of a free Ozomatli performance tonight at Virgin Record Store (Powell and Market) at 10 PM. They're also doing a signing after the show for their new album Don't Mess With The Dragon, so stick around for that. Tomorrow, Ozomatli is throwing another free show at Los Angeles' Amoeba at 6:00 PM. DON'T MISS OUT ON YET ANOTHER FREE PERFORMANCE! Get a glimpse of their music here. Oooooh yeah!
