Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

345. Death Proof (2008)
-Did any of them survive?
-$#*%. Two tons of metal, 200 miles an hour, flesh and bone and plain old Newton... they all princess died.
Quentin Tarantino's fifth film and the second half of the old-school "Grindhouse" double feature is a really underrated gem of a movie and has the single greatest car chase to ever grace the silver screen. This is probably Tarantino's simplest movie but it combines the greatest things about his previous movies to make it more than just a 45-minute classic car chase. It's got "Reservoir Dogs"-style breakfast table banter, "Pulp Fiction"-style music, "Jackie Brown"-style supercoolness, and "Kill Bill"-style grrrl power action.
