300 Versus Grindhouse: Bipolar Reviews Accurately Predicted

While Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse tanked at the box office this weekend, it was a huge hit with critics:

It’s hard to know whether the studio was thumbing its nose at religion, but the Weinstein Company has selected the Easter holiday weekend to resurrect the double bill at the nation’s theaters. That Grindhouse, which features two separate movies from writer-directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino — as well as some fake trailers — also includes a prodigious amount of blood may be seen by some of the faithful as compounding the blasphemy. Critics, however, are generally greeting the film(s) with worshipful praise.

Gee, what a shocker.
