From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Ep. 1.03, “Mistress”: Paradise
The thing about grindhouse is you never really know what you’re going to get. Yes, these productions are never brilliant masterpieces but they are frequently fun and usually entertaining. They also work the best when they aren’t taking themselves too seriously. So far, From Dusk till Dawn: The Series has managed to be all of these things. More

From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Ep. 1.02, “Blood Runs Thick”: Strong episode continues show’s momentum
The first episode of From Dusk till Dawn: The Series was a surprising success. Spry, funny, and campy, its pilot was a great introduction to the show. The series’ biggest challenge moving forward will be keeping up the momentum of the premiere and keeping the audience interested in characters we’re already familiar with from the movie. More

From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Ep. 1.01, “Pilot”: Bad Roads
Robert Rodriquez’s 1996 cult classic From Dusk till Dawn is a flawed but ultimately surprising, fun, and witty gore-fest sendup of vampire movies. Surprisingly the TV adaptation, for Rodriquez’s channel the El Rey Network, is just as much fun as its source material.
From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, much like the movie, knows exactly what it is. This is not highbrow entertainment. This is pulpy cult gore at its best. One of the most enjoyable things about the movie was the surprising genre changeup halfway through the film. The show makes up for this lack of surprise by expanding on what we didn’t see in the movie, such as the Gecko brothers’ botched bank robbery, which we see flashes of here. All that being said, half the fun of the pilot comes from the execution. It’s an incredibly confident and tightly wound series opener. More

Top 5 Genre-Defying Films
Marketing plays an enormous part in our preconceptions of a film.

We rely on the actors we see […] More

Tarantino the Actor
Tarantino is a great director and not a great actor. So, why is it that he has consistently tried his hand at performance? There doesn’t seem to be an acknowledgement of his limited talents and the consistency in which he employs himself within his films leads me (and I am sure I am not alone) […] More
