Review: INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Should Have Stayed Dead

Review: MACHETE KILLS, Drilling Grindhouse Viewers Into Submission
Self-aware, self-referential, and self-abusing, Machete Kills splatters a full load of gooey grindhouse goodness onto the screen even before the main titles roll. Having turned the volume up to 11, however, that leaves more than 100 minutes to be filled...
