Once Upon A Time In Mexico

This is the final film in Robert Rodriguez's Mariachi Trilogy (El Mariachi, Desperado, and this one) and stars Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, and Willem Dafoe. The film centers on the gun-wielding El Mariachi being recruited by a rogue CIA agent to stop an assassination attempt on the President of Mexico by a ruthless drug dealer. The movie is fast-paced and has plenty of action, but it reduces the trilogy's main character to a more background role. The plot is a bit of a mess but I enjoyed the movie overall.

7.5/10

Definately, Maybe

Great romantic comedy, certainly one to take the missus to see, great little story line, keeps you guessing, and even has a great ending.

9/10

If you need a summary, that's because you haven't seen it. If you haven't seen it, you don't deserve to hear a summary of it.

Zombie Town (2007)

A small town is overrun by mysterious parasites that turns the townsfolk into bloodthirsty Zombies. The only exits out are closed off and the last remaining "normal" people are trapped and forced to fend for themselves.

This is Low-budget zombie movie-making at it's absolute Best or worst however you want to look at it. I don't know how much money they spent on this, but this is really bare-bone stuff. If you can look past the small budget, you can tell this film is made with such great energy and features that great zombie movie spirit I always love. The acting isn't too bad, and some of the gore is really well done. The make-up is kinda crappy and there's plot holes galore, but it isn't a big deal. Besides the gore and scenes with flesh-eating grandmas lol, the best part were the dialogs which were actually pretty damn funny at times. Corny as hell as you might expect, but it had me laughing throughout.

5/10



Inland Empire (2006)

An slightly over the hill actress gets the role of a lifetime. When she starts having feelings for her co-star, life begins imitating art. She also learns that the film is actually a remake from a "cursed" unfinished Polish movie.

I'm a huge David Lynch fan, from the Twin peaks tv show, blue velvet, Lost Highway, Elephant man, Wild at heart, to one of my favorites of all time Mulholland Dr. IE is DL's mind gone wild and pretty much having free-reign to do a movie HIS way, with no restraints or boundaries. Sadly I think a little restraint would've helped, overall I was a little disappointed in the finished product. If you like linear storytelling don't bother with this, this is about as non-linear as it gets, felt completely disjointed all the way through. It's like one big jigsaw puzzle. After 2 hours my brain was hurting trying to figure out wtf was going on lol. But it's DL, and I knew what to expect. The length was a major problem, 3 hours is just WAY to long, and the story lacked any real depth. It seemed like Lynch was purposely just fucking with the audience a lot of the times. Laura Dern was fantastic in this though, playing distinctively different roles and showing off her flexible acting ability. The creepy sometimes frightening atmosphere is very present, I think some horror directors could learn a thing or two from Dl on how to effectively make your audience uneasy and terrified without having to use gallons of blood. I know it will take a few more viewings to love this as with any other Lynch movie. The first time I saw Lost Highway I hated it, after 2-3 more viewings my opinion completely turned. If you like any DL movies you will find some enjoyment in this nightmarish dreamlike world that Inland Empire is. Be warned that you'll have to exercise a lot of patience in this borderline frustrating film.

7.0/10

Chasing Amy- a film directed by Kevin Smith. The same guy who brought you Clerks, Clerks 2, and Mallrats. If you enjoyed those films, this one should be no different. You gotta love Jason Lee, the man is cool and just so awesome. Great lines in this film, and I am actually pretty glad I checked this film out.

Alyssa: "Fuck You"
Jason Lee- "Not even if you let me video tape it."

King Kong (1933)- I loved the new one so I wanted to check the one that started it all. Now I know like 75 years ago this film was revolutionary, but from a modern point of view, I didn't really enjoy it. Bad camera, bad acting, weird looking Kong. I don't blame them for this, because of course it was a long time ago. I think the remake goes much better in depth and develops better. I really don't recommend.
