And on top of Danny Trejo it’s Michelle Rodriguez, Jonah Hill and Robert De Niro!

Brian Gibson loves to buy DVDs. Come with him on his weekly journey into the depths of credit card debt as he tells you what to buy, rent and avoid.

Artistic license, originality, worthwhile dialogue and the meaning of life are all discussed as Film School Rejects Conrad Rothbaum and Robert Fure go head-to-head in the first entry in the new FSR feature, “Shouting Match.”

I started thinking about all the hype and general cooler-than-thou hipsterism that surrounds everything Tarantino/Rodriguez/Grindhouse, and things got ugly.

A post has appeared on Rob Zombie’s MySpace blog claiming that another favorite Grindhouse faux trailer, Werewolf Women of the S.S., is being made into a comic book.

Take a look at the bad-ass biker film “Hell Ride” that promises lots of blood, bullets, and naked ladies!

Movie auteur Robert Rodriguez certainly is a busy boy of late. Robert Rodriguez and fiancée Rose McGowan are at it again. No… I meant movies, not sex. Well, actually maybe a bit of both…

There was a time when Harvey and Bob Weinstein were the heroes of American cinema. Now, we are seeing that these guys are just big douchebags, like so many other people in the business.

An update on the possibility of a Machete feature film and sequels! Straight from Trejo’s mouth.

If you were one of the un-lucky people to say “Nah, I’ll wait for DVD”, you know that you were dealt the misfortune of two DVD releases and no special treats.

For those of you who saw Grindhouse in theaters or Planet Terror on DVD, you’ll recognize this flick as one of the “fake” trailers, though now it seems oh so real.

Yes, it’s time to look back at Spidey, Johnny Depp, Michael Bay and everyone else responsible for the Biggest Box Office performances of 2007.

Get ready folks — here comes the box set you’ve always been wanting — and you can have it if you live.. in Japan.

Some trailers are of the “Must-See” variety, some are of the “Officially Cool” variety and then some are in a category all their own.

Death Proof opens on a pair of shapely feet, with polished toes, natch, resting on a sunlit dashboard. Tarantino needn’t even bother putting his name in the credits anymore.

The good people at Screamfest LA this year saw fit to have us in for a screening of Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror which came out on DVD this week. Lucky for us my quick hands and the strong arm of a Screamfest presenter lead to me catching a copy of this half of Grindhouse.

Eli Roth is saying that his upcoming project Trailer Trash is going to be much like Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Yet, based on Roth’s past projects and general lack of directorial vision, we have a feeling that it will end up playing out more like the straight-to-DVD horror flick Flight of the Living Dead, it will just be less entertaining.

I have a new theory: every movie should begin with a scene involving a scantily clad Rose McGowan and a stripper pole. That would really take the sting off of films like Norbit. Where did this theory come from, you may ask? It came from the fact that I just got back from screening Grindhouse, the homage to 70s and 80s exploitation flicks co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Just think about this concept; two directors with very loyal fanbases making a three hour long double feature packed full of blood, boobs and bad dialog. What about that doesn’t sound like fun?
