Django Unchained (2012)

Quentin Tarantino does what “Lincoln” can’t — blow up the damn plantation himself. An emancipated Jamie Foxx brings the explosives in an (important) slavery revenge fantasy and spaghetti western, while Samuel Jackson is stunning as an Uncle Tom.

Machete (2010)

Robert Rodriguez’s fake trailer before the “Grindhouse” double feature is now a 105-minute, ultra-violent revenge fantasy — and it’s a blast. Deadpan Danny Trejo is Machete, an expert knife thrower who makes women (Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez) melt.
