I'm
pretty sure god would consider it a sin not to glorify that ass!
2008's "Grindhouse" did not by any means revive the infamous double bill
in movie theaters mainly because audiences attention spans are slim to
nil. But on the bright side, the massive financial failure did breed a
legion of indie and under ground filmmakers who would for many years
re-invent the mock grindhouse movie trailer we saw displayed during "Grindhouse."
Subsequent the success of "Machete," and "Hobo with a Shotgun," every
single filmmaker with a wild imagination are concocting their own mock
grindhouse trailer. The Black Keys "Howlin' for You" can now be seen as
an exclusive music video where the group not only touts their fantastic
rock song but also tells the tale of Alexa Wollf and her journey for
vengeance!

That's right, director Chris
Marrs Piliero creates a short film very much in the vein of
the classic grindhouse motif that works simultaneously as a
music video, a short film, and a mock trailer all the while
putting on display the unabashed sexual allures of Tricia
Helfer and her sidekick in revenge Diora Baird. And Todd
Bridges has a cameo for some reason. Invented very much in
the vein of Robert Rodriguez's "Machete," Helfer plays the
lovely Alexa, a young girl who watched her father brutally
murdered at the hands of local mobsters. |

And in a big to avenge
her father's memory, she set out to romance and kill every single
member of the group that murdered her father. But little did she
know she would eventually fall hard for the one man she wanted to
murder the most. Narrated by go to grindhouse narrator Jon Bailey, "Howlin'
for You" is about as surreal and off the wall as you could expect
from a wild hybrid of revenge cinema, rape cinema, and vague Robert
Rodriguez homages. Paired with the Black Keys' fantastic song, it's
the perfect grindhouse trailer for a movie I'd pay money to see. If
quasi-grindhouse nods were this rich with nonsense and busty action
set pieces, I'd squat down and devote hours to the glory of Tricia
Helfer and Diora Baird kicking some gringo ass and taking names.
It's a double
threat as a short film and a rough neck music video. And if the Black
Keys' song "Howlin' for You" wasn't enough incentive to check out this
dazzling grindhouse spectacle, stay to watch two busty beauties kick the
ass of Sean Patrick Flannery. He deserves it after "The Boondock
Saints."
