Hey look, a second post!

That's right, this be the second post of GoldThane, so sit back, take off your pants and enjoy.

Today, today, today..... we are going to review, why not?

Let's start with movies.

Grindhouse Presents: Deathproof

Let's see, what can I sat about Grindhouse... If you like Quentin Tarantino and car chases you should love this film. As with most of Tarantino's films, Deathproof features many throwbacks to the films he watched when he was growing up, in this case, grindhouse films, which were B-movies that were shown back-to-back in Follows the adventures of Stuntman Mike, a homicidal stuntman who uses his "Deathproof" car as a weapon. This movie goes through several shifts in appearance and theme, starting out as a grindhouse slasher flick (though he uses a car instead of the traditional knife) complete with film scratches and hiccups. From there it goes into a full-throttle car chase film. Great writing, editing and acting by all involved, especially new-to-acting stuntwoman Zoe Bell. Defiantly a must see for anyone who likes kick-ass action movies.

The Condemned

10 prisoners sentenced to death are bought by a millionaire and placed onto an island to fight to the death. The last one alive after 30 hours will be released with cash. Plus, the whole thing is streamed live onto the Internet. There is more of a storyline, but with this kinda movie who really cares about it. The main flaw in the storyline is that they make is very obvious who is going to win pretty early on in the movie ( They focus alot on his girlfriend, former job and so forth but not so much on anyone else's). Do not go into this movie looking for more than an action-fest, for that's all it really is, 10 people kicking each other's asses, blowing up, and shooting each other. As always, Vinnie Jones does a stellar performance, this time as a maniacal ex-SIS agent twisted into homicidal rage by what he has been forced to see and go through as a member of the SIS. If your looking for a night of mindless action then might as well check it out.

And that's it for now. I might do some music reviews and/or anime later.

Ciao,
