When are they just going to die? That is all I thought through this entire movie. Its never good to wish death upon your main characters. When they die the movie ends, but in this case the movie ending prematurely would have been an improvement. The movie was slow and boring. I must have gotten up a half a dozen times to go to the fridge, and another handful of times to the little girls room, and yet missed nothing.
I believe it was put best by my friend Rich, "I feel like I just got done balancing my check book..."
Favorite scene: Finding Spam.

Machete
status: in theaters
rating: * * * * (4 out of 5 stars)
Robert Rodriguez's newest "Mexploitation" film fills the over-the-top, ridiculous nature of exploitation films to a "T". Danny Trejo in his first starring role shows that he can rip up the screen the way fans knew he could. The film is filled with graphic decapitations, a number of sex scenes (complete with porno music), and plenty of throwbacks to the grindhouse days.
Rounding out the cast is Steven Seagal, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Robert De Niro, Jeff Fahey and a number of faces Robert has used in the past. Together this group makes for an in-your-face, absurd ride into bloody cinema. I couldn't have been more pleased with Machete. Thanks to the fans of the trailer aired in Grindhouse, this film saw the light of day. It would've been unfortunate for this one to fall between the cracks. Robert keep 'em comin'!
