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...See more 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.

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 a fight-for-your-life...
You gotta hand it to Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, they both have very good taste in the women they cast… Salma Hayek anyone (JoBlo’s true love). And with GRINDHOUSE, they give us a bountiful bouquet of beauties. Two of...
The 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 humor and crude charm. This girl was one to watch....
