I am a big fan of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez; however, I never quite made the plunge to go and see his “kids” films. While Rodriguez has made some pretty hard R-rated features in his time (Desperado, From Dusk til Dawn, Sin City), he has also let his wild imagination carve himself out a niche in [...]
The Robert Rodriguez library on Blu-ray continues to expand. Columbia Pictures proudly present: the first two films in the Robert Rodriguez “Mexican” trilogy. It’s only fitting that a real Mexican was tasked with (okay I volunteered) to review the Rodriguez Mariachi series on Blu-ray. Once again, this will be a cumulative review, but I will [...]
In our previous adventures with our famed guitarista we had several revenge and closure story arcs to abide by. With Once Upon A Time In Mexico we have come full circle. Robert Rodriguez pulled a Sergio Leone. This was to be Rodriguez’s The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Was Robert Rodriguez successful? I suggest [...]
Four years ago we caught a glimpse of a fake trailer that would forever change the world of exploitation cinema for years to come. Machete!

Trejo has gone from boxing in San Quentin to becoming incredibly prolific, appearing in well over 100 films. He has served mainly as a memorable, tough Mexican in roles [...]

Featuring an all-star cast that include: Danny Trejo, Robert DeNiro, Jessica Alba, Jeff Fahey, Michelle Rodriguez, Don Johnson, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal, and Cheech Marin, [...]
My first introduction to the pot-smoking comedians, Cheech and Chong, was some time in the mid 1980’s. By a miracle of the technology gods, my father held onto a working 8-track player. Knowing only records and your typical small cassettes up to that point, I grabbed one of the remaining 8-track tapes and proceeded to [...]
My beloved Jessica is back, finally gracing the silver screen once again! It’s been awhile since we last seen her in action with her recent pregnancy and all, but now that she’s got that all over and done with we can finally move on and watch her do some serious a#$-kicking once again. Jessica Alba [...]
