From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)


































  A former priest who lost his faith and his two children are touring through the desert. Seth and Richard, two brother criminals hold them hostage. Luck brings them to a titty house/bar in the desert with shady costumers to pass the night. But passing the night there is surprisingly hard...
  Robert Rodriguez, Tarantino's sidekick is another Z-movie freak and he was one of the people that helped revive the genre and make mainstream audiences see a more cult aspect in them. Rodriguez with an almost amateur-like love for movies like that, directs this film like any proper fan would and that makes it way more amusing as a film. Intense dialogues (I suspect Tarantino's hand), vampires, strip bars, bikers, guns, ladies and a soundtrack as hot as the desert!
  However cheesy the story, I really like watching actors of high value in these films. It reminds somehow that cinema was started as a means of entertainment, no matter how "quality" or not. Tarantino plays the psycho criminal with a thing for legs (touche) and Clooney is his more logical brother who usually clams him down. Harvey Keitel wil reagain his faith in the most unusual place and Juliette Lewis will make Tarantino crazy! Crazy credits : Salma Hayek with her breathtaking dance, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, Tom Savini and Fred Williamson. Try to guess where they dug them out from!
Must watch this : on a hot summer day. Eggs and bakey will do the trick. Accompany with a good ol' can of Monster energy drink and cheap cigarettes. The taste of desert vampires in your mouth!

The Man with the Iron Fists (2012)


































  A large shipment of gold becomes the point of interest for many dark figures in a small village in feudal China. A blacksmith with a caged lover, a British veteran soldier, a clan of assassins and a brothel owner fight over what is their own and what should have been their own...
  RZA's first attempt at directing certainly does not leave you disappointed. Do not expect any high-end directing or a re-invention of cinema art but do expect an entertaining 96 minutes of cult role-playing and vivid storytelling. Tarantino's little finger was dipped in this movie and you can see that too at some points. All in all, a modern low-fi with enough balls to become a cult classic somewhere in the next 50 years and surely a nice spending of your time.
  RZA plays the main character, the blacksmith with a hurt past. Russell Crowe brings up the game and plays the British veteran with a keen for young harlots and Lucy Liu is sure the own to provide him with such pleasures. Rick Yune arrives in the nick of time to save the day and Dave Bautista has to get in the way as always.
Must watch this : if you have been away from home for too long, put on this fucker and let it be your ticket back to who you used to be. Must accompany with something Chinese just for the cult of it, prefer a Kung-Pao chicken maybe!

Sin City (2005), by Silent Guardian


































  Four different stories intertwined , as one continuum, telling stories a corrupt city with even more corrupt citizens. A tough, depraved killer , a blonde angel, the only honest cop in town protecting a young girl from a pedophile, a group of dangerous women and a lot more obscure personalities all collide for survival....
  Robert Rodriguez teams up with Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino to bring to life Miller's famous comic book story. The result is a highly entertaining ,with the dark, monochrome and pulp mood that is prevails in the film. Too rough, too serious, too comic-y...hell yeah! Once you watch this there is no turning back...
  Hollywood all-star parade...Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Devon Aoki and Jessica Alba. They all adapt perfectly into the atmosphere, giving their own mysticism to their characters, adding to their delinquency. I would like to see more of them in movies like these...Imaginative and purely artistic.
Must watch this : on a special movie night party just for this film. Gather your friends, booze up and eat up and then chill ritualistically, enjoying this film without talking. After the film, most of the girls of the party will want to strip-tease,so yeah, you can thank me later for that!
