Quentin Tarantino had programmed a months worth of films from his personal collection, mainly 70&#8217;s Gridhouse fare and they were great! Such a treat to see cool films on 35mm in a theater with like minded film lovers! One of the films I saw was Umberto Lenzi&#8217;s <em>Eyeball<\/em> or Gatti rossi in un labirinto di vetro, it&#8217;s not a great film, but to see it with an audience! What a treat, they loved it! It&#8217;s full of shocks, and gags and eyeball gouging goop! It played so well in a theater surrounded by people that screamed, laughed, jumped and were grossed out, I loved it! Movies are meant to be experienced in a communal setting, the electric thrills running through the audience are a big part of the experience. This movie really illustrated that fact to me because as I said it&#8217;s not that great, if I had watched it on a DVD by myself I might have thought it crap! But with an audience a whole different enchilada! So I hope you can get the opportunity to see it the way it was meant to be seen. on a big screen surrounded by shrieking moviegoers. Also it has a great score by the genius Bruno Nicolai!<br \/>\np.s. the trailer is NSFW, some nudity(boobs) and gore.<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"373\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/PFhgkvYhK3g&#038;color1=0x402061&#038;color2=0x9461ca&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/PFhgkvYhK3g&#038;color1=0x402061&#038;color2=0x9461ca&#038;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"373\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year I was lucky enough to make it to a whole bunch of the GRINDHOUSE screenings at the New Beverly Theater on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles.
