Tamityville

I found out about this movie while enjoying a chai tea latte @ Starbucks with my twin and his girlfriend Liz. She expressed nervousness about putting her feet up on the windowsill “ever since that scene in Death Proof where the girl puts her legs out the car window.” Unfortunate dismemberment? I’m in!

Two words: Hell. Yes. I must admit at first I didn’t see Kurt Russell coming. I guess I’ll always picture him shirtless and nervously pinching together the bib of his overalls in “Overboard.” Clearly Rose McGowan didn’t see him coming either. There were a few of the characters (Jungle Julia) I wanted to push down the steps, but watching her stem skidder across the interstate was equally satisfying. Maybe that’ll learn her to keep her big mouth shut.

This movie made me want to put a random stranger between me and three other friends in miniskirts and beat him stupid. In fairness, getting dressed every morning elicits the same temptation.

The other half of Grindhouse Presents awaits.
