Not a fan of her popular songs, but she is a very talented singer. She has a really classic vibe with a gritty edge when she wants to with a that would fit in perfect with the tone of these movies.
Maybe,

Or she might try to act like she did in Machete Kills.

That's just what I was thinking. Isn't the poor quality half of what makes the Grindhouse movies the Grindhouse movies?

Robert Rodriguez only makes bad movies these days though. He hasn't made a good full-length movie since the last Sin City. It should be pretty easily to replicate what he did with the last one, but I think the cast in the first movie is superior to this one. Sure there are still a few good actors, but who knows what to expect from some of them. Hopefully he gets some assistance from Tarantino again during filming.

What assistance?

All Tarantino did in the first Sin City was direct one 3 minute scene.

From what I've heard he did more then that, he only directed the one scene, but Rodriguez went to him for advice on the movie frequently. Which shouldn't be a surprise since they were about to film Grindhouse, and had collaborated with each other previously. Since Grindhouse that hasn't been the case, they both seem to do their own thing, and since then Rodriguez has made 4 pretty bad movies in a row (without any involvement from Tarantino).

Plus at the time Rodriguez was still a disciple of Tarantino, which is pretty evident in some of his movies at that time. Since then he's started doing his own thing, and creating his own style, which isn't nearly at the same level.

Rodriguez actually showed up Tarantino in Grindhouse with the vastly superior movie. People can laugh at the Spy Kids movies but my kids love them and they have made half a billion in gross box office money.

More like "claim this poster has been banned to drum up publicity from everyone posting it all over the Internet as a banned poster".

Not complaining, though.

Not with the MPAA involved.

There's something about her that really stirs my drink. I think it's the eyes although the perfectly rounded figure doesn't hurt. Dark Shadows was a very mediocre movie but I could watch it all day just for her performance.

Totally agreed.

No that is a wait for video movie for me based on the so-so reviews. I will as soon as it comes out though.

It was actually worth it to see in the theaters. Each to their own but I felt it was worth the $17 I paid.

I'm sure it was but I have two young kids and between our jobs (wife is busy in evenings and weekends at times) it's hard to get out to see movies in the theatre so I have to pick my spots and we can't always go to films that just interest me.

After seeing that poster I agree with the film's title. Who must I kill?
