Movie Review: Machete Kills

It is hard to believe that it has been six years since the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez team up, Grindhouse, was released. No, it wasn't a big hit in theaters, but no matter, popular opinion is never a truly good test of quality.i had a blast with it and its trailers. Even more surprising is that one of the fake trailers made for that event was turned into a movie of its own. Now, that movie has spawned a sequel of its own, fighting the odds if you will. Whatever you want to call it, it puts a smile on my face.

Movie Review: Spring Breakers (2013)

Now, here is a movie I had no idea what it was going to be about. Even now, some time has passed since I saw the movie and I am still at a loss to really explain all that happened. I think that may be part of the point. It is certainly a strange trip, a fever dream exploitation film, a smashing of Disney and the Grindhouse through an MTV generation filter. It is an experience more that a movie, better experienced as stream of consciousness as opposed to any type of traditional narrative.
