I just saw the new Quentin Tarantino movie called Grindhouse. Running time was 3 hours 20 mins. It's 2 movies back-to-back. The first one is a zombie movie just like Night of the Living Dead. Lots of action. Even a stripper who loses one leg and has it replaced with a machine gun which she uses to kill zombies while she break dances. Violence, gore you've seen it all before. Hey, that rhymes!
Part 2 is about 4 women who test drive a used car just for the excitement of driving a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 440 Magnum engine. They take it on the highway with one girl sunning herself on the hood at 90 mph. I kid you not. It's hard to watch. Then along comes grizzly old Kurt Russel who hates all women. He rams the girls with his Dodge Charger and they smash each other for miles. He finally gets run off the road and they shoot him in the arm. Then they start chasing him! It's now him trying to get away, but they finally catch him after he crashes and they circle around him and beat him to death with their fists. An incredibly sick scene.
It was entertaining, but all pointless. Quentin Tarantino is a weirdo and he likes this kind of stuff. If you like it, then you'll like this. But as movies go, it's a piece of you-know-what. I enjoyed part two- the car chases scenes. But it's still a piece of you-know-what.
As to part 1, George Romero is still the King!
