Editorial Reviews: Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez spent $53 million to pay loving tribute to the vintage hundred-thousand-dollar exploitation fare that inspired Grindhouse's two-movies-for-the-price-of-one thrill ride. Tarantino's half of the exercise (which also includes Robert Rodriguez's self-scored Planet Terror) features another effusive slice of the director's eclectic musical sensibility to underscore its manic tale of stuntman/psycho-killer Kurt Russell and his muscle-car-fueled exploits. Tarantino works from a familiar formula that variously mixes evocative, semi-obscure Italian film cues from Morricone and Dinaggio, contrasting slices of '60s catalog from the great Jack Nitzsche and Brit Invasion also-rans DDDBM&T and some '70s fodder from both ends of the Top 40 via Smith and T. Rex, also stirring in a savory mid-disc run of R&B that stretches from PG&E's upbeat read of "Stagger Lee" through more familiar fare from Joe Tex, Eddie Floyd, and the Coasters. The director also serves up a couple of those deliciously off-kilter obscurities that have come to be his musical trademark as a coda: Eddie Beram's thumping "Riot in Thunder Alley" and April March's infectious ditz-pop take on Serge Gainsbourg's loopy "Chick Habit." --Jerry McCulley
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: One ability he's not lost. Comment: Say what you like about the film, and plenty said "it sucked," one thing Tarantino can't seem to get wrong is putting together absolutely barnstorming soundtracks. As you might expect this one is a heavier, funkier affair than previous outings plus of the 16 tracks only 13 are dialogue excerpts. Film: meh! OST: yeah! Customer Rating: Summary: One of his finest Comment: This Tarantino soundtrack has to be in my view one of his finest, up there with the likes of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. There are some songs that go along with the scenes so well that you'll be visualising the scene whilst the song is running. Songs like Down in Mexico you can just picture Vanessa Ferlito on Kurt Russell, amazing album. More Reviews
