Grindhouse Loses the Box Office Race
Mediocrity topped curiosity at the box-office this weekend, with two tepidly reviewed holdovers — Blades of Glory and Disney's Meet the Robinsons — landing in the No. 1 and 2 spots with $23 million and $17 million in ticket sales, respectively. Both movies beat out Grindhouse, the groundbreaking double feature directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, which earned just $11 million.

Grindhouse: A Clever Experiment That Succeeds
Should you spend three hours of your life indulging two directors’ fanboy fantasies with a parade of gross-out humor, awkward pacing, bad acting, and obscure movie references?
Yes, you absolutely should.
As you've probably heard by now, Grindhouse is actually two movies in one: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof.
Will You See Grindhouse?
Grindhouse, the new double-feature from Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, is probably one of the most buzzed-about movies so far this year. But the violent B-movie homage isn't for everyone. Stay tuned for my review, and until then, tell me: Do you think you'll see it?
Grindhouse: Worse Than An R Rating?
Grindhouse, the new double-feature from directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, has been getting tons of buzz. But now, it's not all for the right reasons: Page Six is reporting that the movie is likely to get an NC-17 rating unless it gets some significant editing. Hardly surprising, since the two movies — Planet Terror and Death Proof — are an homage to 1970s theaters known for showing films featuring uncensored violence and sex.
The Best of ShoWest 2007
ShoWest, which wrapped up its annual event in Las Vegas yesterday, might just be the sexiest "trade show" around. The industry event is where film producers, movie theater owners, and, of course, Hollywood stars come together to celebrate the big moneymaking projects they have on tap.
This year, the big buzz swirled around Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, for which Jerry Bruckheimer unveiled the trailer and which could help make 2007 box-office returns even bigger than 2006.
Movie Preview: Grindhouse
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have collaborated on movies before: Each directed a scene in Four Rooms, and Tarantino contributed to Rodriguez's Sin City. Now, they're releasing a "double-feature" called Grindhouse, which is actually two feature-length movies for the price of one: "Death Proof" by Tarantino and Rodriguez's "Planet Terror." The movie won't be released until April, but you can already watch the trailer below.More on BuzzSugar
