The latest entertainment news and reviews in 4K UHD, Blu-ray, movies and more…
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 […]

Any Robert Rodriguez fans in the house? Well if there are, you’re in luck. I was shocked to learn that Robert Rodriguez scored his very own Hall H panel. That either means that the guy is a name brand now or the world of comics are taking Comic-Con back over by storm. Or maybe it’s […]
So if I’m such a big Robert Rodriguez fan, then why have I never seen any of these Spy Kids films? I’m not sure of the answer to that one, but that’s all about to change this summer when his high octane kid-friendly franchise makes its way to the Blu-ray format. Yep. That’s right ladies […]
I’m not a big sports fan, but when it comes to Robert Rodriguez and his many projects, that’s a totally different story. Nike and Robert Rodriguez present Kobe Bryant (yes, Kobe Bryant) in The Black Mamba. I initially found out about this when our very own Aaron Neuwirth sent me the teaser trailer a couple […]
Hobo With A Shotgun was originally released with certain prints of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse a few years ago. It was a fake trailer created for Rodriguez’s Grindhouse competition. That’s all it took before director Jason Eisener decided to make a feature length film with Rutger Hauer in the lead as the Hobo…with […]
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! Originally used as a trailer to open Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, fan reaction was enormous and the world wanted a full feature based on this mythical killing machine. Robert Rodriguez […]
As little time as I have to actually sit at home and watch all the Blu-rays I own and check out all the special features they have to offer, there are a certain number of films that I could not pass up when it came to checking them out at my own leisure, in the comfort of my own home. The following list is set of films that I consider to be some of the best that the Blu-ray format has had to offer for this year.
The calendar year of 2010 started off a little rough, in my opinion, for the world of movies. It was a little too rough, if you don’t mind me saying. Anyway, it was not until the month of March that I saw the first film I deemed worthy of even talking about, Shutter Island. Needless […]
I was just about to call it a night when all the sudden an angel fell from heaven onto my desktop. Well actually it fell onto my Android phone, but desktop sounds better. Anyway, yes that angel was Jessica Alba’s…oops…I mean Robert Rodriguez’s Machete “official” Blu-ray announcement. And guess what ladies and gentlemen…we also have […]
You read about it in Rebel Without A Crew and now for the first time EVER, Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi comes home to the Blu-ray format on January 4th. Actually, all three movies in the trilogy will see a same day Blu-ray release. Exciting, huh?! I have been waiting a long time to see El […]
Although the contents of the Machete Blu-ray are still under wraps, fans of the movie have something to rejoice about…the Blu-ray pre-order is up on Amazon right now! Earlier today we showed you the Blu-ray cover art for Machete, but I most recently found out from the studio behind the film that the Blu-ray cover […]
When it was announced that filmmaking wunderkind Robert Rodriguez would be taking over the reigns of the Predator franchise, the inner fanboy circle went nuts! When it was announced that Robert Rodriguez would only be producing the latest film in the Predator franchise, the inner fanboy circle kind of came to a screeching halt. Who […]
Let me start by saying Danny Trejo is awesome. The fact that we are living in a time where he is headlining a movie is great. 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 […]
“They f****d with the wrong Mexican!” You ain’t never lied! Chopped straight from the pages of Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror comes the tale of the man, the myth, the MACHETE! 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, […]
