My Favorite Movie Moments - Rosario Dawson in Death Proof (2007)

Part of an ongoing series documenting some of my favorite movie  moments. Be warned that just about every entry will contain spoilers.

Described by writer/director Quentin Tarantino as a "Slasher film at 200 miles an hour" Death Proof was originally paired up with Robert Rodriguez' Planet Terror and released as a double feature called Grindhouse. Coupled with fake genre trailers Grindhouse gave audiences a movie experience that is now pretty much extinct. For the foreign market and home video in the states the films were split up and extended. It is this version of Death Proof that I will be referencing here.

The second half of Death Proof follows a group of  girls as they test drive a car not only because it looks like the one from "Vanishing Point" but because they also want to perform a crazy stunt with it. Around the 1hr 32 minute mark, during the early moments of the high-speed test drive, Abernathy (Rosario Dawson) looks worried but in an instant her expression changes from concern to that of child-like joy.

Out With the Old...

Last month Wendy's revamped their french fries. Upon reading this news I was instantly disappointed that I hadn't learned about this sooner. I liked the old fries and was bummed that I didn't get one last chance to have them before the new and improved ones rolled out.

My Favorite Movie Moments - Kong in King Kong (1933)

Part of an ongoing series documenting some of my favorite movie moments. Be warned that just about every entry will contain spoilers.

On an expedition to the remote Skull Island filmmaker Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) and his crew discover Kong (the creation of stop motion pioneer Willis O'Brien and a team of talented technicians), the most dangerous beast on an island full of them. The island's natives think that Denham's lead actress, the blond Ann Darrow (Faye Wray) would make a perfect sacrifice to Kong. The natives kidnap Ann and offer her to the beast. Instead of eating her Kong becomes enamored with the strange blond creature.

Starting around the 1hr 02 minute mark Kong battles a T-rex in what stands as one of the most thrilling battles in cinema history. The battle ends when Kong breaks and crushes the T-rex's jaw. After it is dead, Kong lifts the T-rex's lifeless head and moves the jaw back and forth, seemingly fascinated with the way it once worked.
