Average Jane Goes on a Date

Just a quick post before I head out for coffee.

Last night my husband and I grabbed a quick dinner at Panera and went to see Grindhouse. Our reaction, in a word: AWESOME!

Both movies were equally good in different ways. The Robert Rodriguez movie "Planet Terror" was full of gross-out, pustulant zombie action and horror. Quentin Tarantino’s "Death Proof" was a lot talkier, but it got down to the action eventually and it was worth the wait.

I will say that it’s a little difficult to settle down to a sound, dreamless sleep after you see it. Maybe it would be best viewed at a matinee.

I know the word is that the movie is tanking at the box office, but that’s a shame. Anybody who likes action movies – particularly of the "women kicking ass" variety will enjoy the double feature.

Have you seen it yet? If so, what did you think?

    I saw it and I thought it sucked. Bad. I know, I know I was SUPPOSED to like it but I found myself really wanting it to be over. A big waste of time and self indulgent for the directors I thought. My opinion.

    I’m sorry to hear that! I went into it with few expectations, so that may have made a difference in how I perceived it.
