DVD Reviews of From Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series)DVD Review: From Dusk Till Dawn - Great special effects but too much of a good thing! Summary: 4 StarsFrom Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series) - I saw Dusk Till Dawn with my wife and boys and knew I had made an error taking them to see it in the theater as I should have watched it alone. I knew nothing about it until my boys asked to go see it and I wouldn't recommend it for really young audiences.
It was chock a block full of dark murderous themes, and excellent special effects but I think it provided almost too many effects. I consider it a good film which was entertaining almost until the ending. I just question the need for the exceptional magnitude of explicit screen violence.
DVD Review: What a wild ride Summary: 5 StarsI had the pleasure of seeing this in the theater quite a few years ago, and very distinctly remember the experience, particularly at the halfway point when I asked if they switched movies on us. The movie starts out as a traditional bank robber chase, then completely mutates into a far different film. You probably need to be a guy to enjoy (and not just because of the bikini work in the 2nd half. I really enjoyed the sets though; very creative ti**y bar in its use of lights, construction, etc.
DVD Review: From Dusk Till Dawn Summary: 5 StarsLOVED IT. IT WAS PERFECT SHAPE WHEN I RECIEVED IT. ALSO, IT DID NOT TAKE LONG TO GET IT.
DVD Review: A WONDERFUL MIX OF ACTION, COMEDY AND HORROR! Summary: 5 StarsThis thoroughly enjoyable film is masterfully put together by Tarantino and is one of his most impressive films. It's well paced and each element is fined tuned as to not cancel each other out. By that I mean, The comedy and over the top action never make the film any less horrifying.
Tarantino also has a knack for casting his films perfectly with character actors and or surprising guest appearances by people you wouldn't expect to see in a film...or this type of film. Tom Savini FX wizard and monster maker has a great humorous role as a bad a $ $ biker and Fred Williamson as a bruising trucker!
This is also one of the only films that I own that stars George Clooney, who is a likable guy, but I have never been a big fan. He manages to play his smarmy persona to perfection in this fun and gory fright flick.
The film starts out like a action crime drama and turns into a hilarious and scary comedy horror film. It's really an excellent piece of work and it's not an easy thing to accomplish! The acting is heads above films of this nature, the FX are gross.....but in a fun way and the film will breeze by it's hour and 48 minute running length.
It's exploitation at it's best with a fair amount of naked skin at the T I T T Y Twister after hours bar! Salma Hayek's erotic dance is also a highlight! The colorful cast includes Clooney, Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis, Danny Trejo, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin(in 3 roles!)and Tarantino in a fun role as Clooney's delusional brother!
I had seen this film a few times, but it had been a while and watching it now, you can see elements of Tarantino's future projects - The Grind House Films Presents - Planet Terror and Death Proof in this extremely wild movie! The two disc collector's edition is awesome and well worth looking for! It's loaded with feature-ettes, out takes, deleted scenes, a commentary trailers and on and on!
DVD Review: Quintin Tarantino Summary: 5 StarsThat Quintin.... what a nut. Had to have this because of the wild ride Quintin and Robert Rodriguez movies put me through.
Description of From Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series)It's nonstop thrills when George Clooney (THE PERFECT STORM, THREE KINGS) and Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) star as the Gecko brothers -- two dangerous outlaws on a wild crime spree! After kidnapping a father (Harvey Keitel -- U-571) and his two kids (including Juliette Lewis -- NATURAL BORN KILLERS), the Geckos head south to a seedy Mexican bar to hide out in safety. But when they face the bar's truly notorious clientele, they're forced to team up with their hostages in order to make it out alive! From a match made in heaven comes a movie spawned in hell! Young hotshot director Robert Rodriquez (El Mariachi, Desperado) teamed up with Pulp Fiction auteur Quentin Tarantino (offering his services as writer and co-star) to make this outrageous, no-holds-barred hybrid of high-octane crime and gruesome horror. QT plays Richard Gecko, a borderline psychopath who breaks his career-criminal brother, Seth (George Clooney), out of prison, after which they rob a bank and leave a trail of dead and wounded in their bloody wake. Then they hijack a mobile home driven by a former Baptist minister (Harvey Keitel) who quit the church after his wife's death and hit the road with his two children (played by Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu). Heading to Mexico with their hostages, the infamous Gecko brothers arrive at the Titty Twister bar to rendezvous for a money drop, but they don't realize that they've just entered the nocturnal lair of a bloodthirsty gang of vampires! With not-so-subtle aplomb, Rodriguez and Tarantino shift into high gear with a nonstop parade of gore, gunfire, and pointy-fanged mayhem featuring Salma Hayek as a snake-charming dancer whose bite is much worse than her bark. If you're a fan of Tarantino's lyrical dialogue and pop-cultural wit, you'll have fun with the road-movie half of this supernatural horror-comedy, but if your taste runs more to exploding heads and eyeballs, sloppy entrails and morphing monsters, the second half provides a connoisseur's feast of gross-out excess. Bon app?tit! --Jeff Shannon
