Can Grindhouse really be an art form?
Like the velvet Elvis, that was obviously not the original intention. The B-movie and early indie films provided us with great directors and talents, but when it came to being over-the-top for over-the-top sake, if it was not Italian, it was messy. And to appreciate the mess, you had to be of a disenchanted age.
Many say that you cannot consider the Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse" double feature to be true grindhouse, but the result is the same. Alienation of those who cannot stand the excess of violence and sex without dramatic goals. The only difference between these auteurs and the original grindhouse productions are that the creators appreciated the format regardless if it may or may not be art.
The most important question to this following review is, can Steven Seagal be involved with art?
