From Dusk Till Dawn


From Dusk Till Dawn
Directed By: Robert Rodriguez





Plot summary: The Gecko brothers are fugitives, and are on the run after a very interesting bank robbery. They kidnap the Fuller family, and drive to a Mexican bar to meet with other on-the-run criminals. It turns out the crooks in the bar are vampires, and if the Gecko brothers and the Fuller family can survive from dusk until dawn, the "crooks"" will let em' go.

From Dusk Till Dawn is a movie I've always enjoyed, it's a movie that made my top 100 favourites, and it's a movie I hope will make the Mofo nineties list. This is a movie that has everything to offer, Comedy, horror, action, and one damn hot babe. Seriously, this is one of the most entertaining movies ever made, you can switch your brain of ( you need to ) and enjoy. I dont really know what to think off Robert Rodriguez as a director, I enjoyed Sin City and Dusk Till Dawn, but everything else has been.... Lets put it nicely Sh**. Edit: The Faculty is quite enjoyable aswell.

Trivia:
Salma Hayek did not have a choreographer for her dance. Director Robert Rodriguez just told her to feel the music and dance to it. Rodriguez would later use the same tactic with Jessica Alba in "Sin City".
From Dusk Till Dawn is one of the strangest movies I've even seen. The movie is split into two half's.... it would simply be like going into a dvd store and putting two completely different movies together..... sounds strange, but it works. The first half is pretty calm, pretty interesting. The second half is crazy, entertaining, and madness, that's really fun to watch. Don't get me wrong it's a pretty bad movie, but it doesn't take itself serious, and it does what it's intended to do.

Trivia:
Tim Roth and Steve Buscemi were approached to play Pete Bottoms but neither could fit it into their schedules.
Dusk Till Dawn is certainly a very cool movie, you can see Tarantino has had a hand in it, and he even pulls of his role as one of the Gecko brothers very well.... Ime lying, it was terrible!!, but he was still a pretty enjoyable character so who cares. George Clooney is a badass, Harvey Keitel is a preacher, and the Sex Machine is pretty damn cool character. The star of the movie has to go to Salma Hayek. The lapdance scene is one of the sexiest movie scenes ever, if she put her foot in my mouth I'd suck her toenail right off.

Overall From Dusk Till Dawn is a very entertaining movie, it has lots of cool characters, cool scenes and crazy moments. It's not a great movie, but it's certainly one of my favourites. If you havn't seen this movie you should really check it out.
