Summary: The best movie i liked so far
Review: "From Dusk Till Dawn" is a violent throwback to "Night of the Living Dead" and some of the splatterpunk horror flicks of the '80s, namely "Re-Animator" and "Evil Dead 2." It's not as effective an homage as the underrated "The Frighteners," but it's still chaotic, gory fun. The relative merits of the film, however, are not relevant to the book itself, which provides the screenplay for the film. Tarantino's published "Pulp Fiction" screenplay was perfect in that it displayed the entire script, in the format the screenplay was written, with deleted scenes included. As Frank Darabont writes in his introduction to the similarly exquisite published screenplay for "The Shawshank Redemption," it's only too rare that a screenplay is published in its proper form; more likely it is reformatted into a casual reader-friendly design that is little or nothing like an actual screenplay--or in some cases, the script isn't reproduced at all; they've merely published a transcript of the film. This is anethemic to the purpose of publishing a screenplay, which is to instruct aspiring screenwriters more than anything else. It's extremely valuable to see a film, then go back and read the script to see how the images and words were originally presented on the page. This publication of "From Dusk Till Dawn," alas, is slightly reformatted and contains little or no additional material to make its purchase worthwhile. Fans of the film will likely enjoy the read, but it may as well have been transcribed directly from the videotape by someone's secretary, for all the good it will do aspiring screenwriters. That's really too bad, and a missed opportunity.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An average screenplay
Review: I read this on the way to Seattle and I thought it was okay. I didn't know Tarantino would write something like this. It was very unusual. I didn't care for the movie at all. I really think Robert Rodriguez is a good director and very creative. I just didn't think this one was all that great.

Summary: Great Movie - Script is worth it just for the lines of Chet
Review: You'd better hope you don't cross paths with the infamous Gecko brothers Richie and Seth. They're fond of banks robbing them, that is. They're tough. Cool. Notorious. In From Dusk Till Dawn, we follow them as they tear a path through the heartland of America on their way to the border. It is there, near El Paso, that they will meet up with their Mexican partners-in-crime to divvy up the loot they've acquired.

Along the way, though, an innocent family will enter their lives an ex-Baptist preacher, his teenage son, and sexy daugh ter. We watch as Richie and Seth enlist the family's help in get ting them safely across the border in the family's Winnebago. When they arrive at their dreamed-about world south of the border, they are met with a terrifying twist.

Move over Dracula, there is a new vampire king.
