Grindhouse – noun – A downtown movie theater - in disrepair since its glory days as a movie palace of the '30s and '40s - known for "grinding out" non-stop double-bill programs of B-movies.
From groundbreaking directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez comes the ultimate film experience: a double-bill of thrillers that will recall both filmmakers’ favorite exploitation films. “Grindhouse” will be presented as one full-length feature comprised of two individual films helmed separately by each director. Tarantino’s film, “Death Proof,” is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife, while Rodriguez’s film explores an alien world eerily familiar to ours in “Planet Terror.” Welcome to the Grindhouse - it’ll tear you in two.

April 12, 2007: Carnahan's pissed:
Let the backlash continue. Just about everyone has their own opinion on why GRINDHOUSE tanked this past weekend, but the ones that interest me the most are the creative and cutting-edge filmmakers whose careers can be affected by a box-office fiasco like...

April 4, 2007: Review: Grindhouse:
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino re-create the exploitative movies of the old 60's and 70's “Grindhouse” experience where excessive gore, violence and sex were welcomed and expected. The first story, PLANET TERROR, begins with a small town, in...
April 5, 2007: INT: Biehn/Fahey:

first time I saw Rose McGowan was in the outrageously f*cked up
little film called THE DOOM GENERATION.
I was blown away by her utterly unbelievably assured sense of...
March 31, 2007: Roth Gives Thanks:
I almost didn’t want to watch this, for the sake of not spoiling all the fun when I catch GRINDHOUSE in theatres this Friday. So I sat there contemplating for a bit, and with a big, euphoric ‘f*ck it’, I clicked the ‘Watch Now’ button, waited about three...

March 16, 2007: Too Grindhouse:
I don't know if this is good news or bad news. It turns out that a staff member at the New York Post caught a sneak peek at much of GRINDHOUSE 's ultra-violent footage and has reported that there is no way the movie can remain intact and receive an "R" status...
March 15, 2007: Maxim does G'house:
Sure, this isn't movie news per se but when Maxim does special edition covers featuring the women of GRINDHOUSE in scantily-clad clothing for their April issue, we pay the proper goddamn respect. Maxim and hot GRINDHOUSE ladies is certainly a match made in...

January 15, 2007: Make some Grindhouse:
GRINDHOUSE is undoubtedly one of the upcoming movies I’m most zigged about (even though it’ll probably be a minor miracle if it’s ready by the scheduled April release date, or get to screens as the double-feature “package” they’ve been pimping). And one of these...
January 8, 2007: G'house trailer news:
