My Thoughts:

This one is a true classic... though one that has been played through-out my life. As I remember it becoming an annual thing of the family all watching it together. But it is a fun movie with a great cast. Well worth the time put to watch it.

From Dusk Till Dawn, a review by addicted2dvd



Title: From Dusk Till Dawn
Movie Count: 65
TV Ep Count: 32
Other  Count: 2
Time Started: 7:45am
Plot:
It's nonstop thrills when George Clooney ('The Perfect Storm', 'Three Kings') and Quentin Tarantino ('Pulp Fiction') star as the Gecko brothers - two dangerous outlaws on a wild crime spree! After kidnapping a father (Harvey Keitel - 'U-571') and his two kids (including Juliette Lewis - 'Natural Born Killers'), the Geckos head south to a seedy Mexican bar to hide out in safety. But when they face the bar's truly notorious clientele, they're forced to team up with their hostages in order to make it out alive!

My Thoughts:
One of my favorites. I really like how the movie starts out more of an action-thriller then the horror movie it actually is. This is the first time I ever seen such an idea being used. I felt the cast was great... story was fun.. and another of the best bar fight scenes I have seen in a horror movie (between this one and Near Dark). I also enjoyed all 3 roles that Cheech Marin took on. Especially the role at the bar.

The episode itself is not bad, but I really do not like the fact, that they have broken up Xander and Anya in such a stupid way.
