From Dusk Till Dawn

It’s a good thing that this is a vampire movie, because it sucks. Yeah I know, that line was almost as bad as the writing in this movie. From Dusk Till Dawn stunk when I first saw it, and it was no better the second time around. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino play a couple of bank robbing brothers who kidnap a man (Harvey Keitel) and his kids and have them take them to a bar in Mexico where Clooney and Tarantino are scheduled to meet an old buddy. The only problem is that this bar is filled with vampires who make meals of the customers. So Clooney and friends spend the rest of the movie battling the undead.

Quentin Tarantino is a bane on Hollywood. He has had one good movie, Pulp Fiction, and other than that everything he is involved with turns to crap. The only thing worse than his acting in this movie (which was beyond bad) is his writing ability. The dialogue in this movie is laughable in places. Tarantino is also one of those so-called writers who, whenever he is at a loss for some decent dialogue (which is frequently), just throws in a bunch of obscenities. Apparently in the hopes of shocking the audience enough so that they won’t notice that the rest of the dialogue stinks. Skip at all costs.
