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 Customer Review: Stuntman Mike would be proud! When I went to see Grindhouse last week and Tarantino’s offering to the genre began, I knew I was going to want this soundtrack the moment Jack Nitzsche’s “The Last Race” started to play. I would honestly give this disc a five star recommendation as it is just as good as any of QT’s other film soundtracks. There are some great songs that I had personally never heard before listening to the cd and Smith’s “Baby, It’s You” is a pleasant discovery. There’s really not much more to say other than this disc is a solid purchase and easily recommended.

The Luzhin Defence
Customer Review: Unique I thought this was an odd movie. Luzhin in a champion chess player. He’s at a tournament and he meets Natalia. They are smitten with each other and he proposes marriage. To say they are in love doesn’t seem right. Her mother becomes upset at the idea of them together and says in so many words. Natalia always wants to take care of animals and people since she was a little girl. He’s very strange and no explanation is given. I’m thinking he has Asperger Syndrome. Flashbacks to his childhood shows him as a boy that doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t fit in at school and is told by the headmaster he needs to go someplace more suitable. Let’s just say this doesn’t end well. I bet the novel by Vladimir Nabokov is better than this movie. If this sounds interesting, I suggest to read the book instead.

Sleeping Beauty (Disney)
Disney’s 1959 animated effort was the studio’s most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It’s not really all that much about the title character–how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent’s castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. –David Kronke Customer Review: GREAT GREAT FLICK FOR THE LITTLE PRINCESS IN YOUR LIFE, A CLASSIC, IT WILL NEVER LOSE IT’S VALUE OR POPULARITY
