Sofia Vergara shows off her skills on her own Machete Kills poster

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

Although MACHETE wasn’t my thing, the film has its fans, as does director Robert Rodriguez.  And if you guessed his fans are predominantly preteen boys, you’d probably be right.  After a few set photos and then a peak at his former SPY KIDS star Alexa Vega all grown up and in a bikini, Rodriguez has [...]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt set to star in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

Monday, January 7th, 2013

It’s official people, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has officially signed on to star in the sequel from Robert Rodriguez called SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is set to play the role of Johnny (which was a role that was originally offered to Johnny Depp) which is apparently a character that has overlapping story [...]

Alexa Vega from Spy Kids is all grown up in the new photo from Machete Kills

Thursday, November 8th, 2012

Remember back in 2001 when Robert Rodriguez released SPY KIDS and introduced us to the young actress Alexa Vega who played the feisty older sister Carmen Cortez? Well, a lot has changed in 11 years and Alexa Vega is all grown up, as you can see in the photo below. Her next role will be [...]

Amber Heard snuggles up to Danny Trejo in new photo from Machete Kills

Friday, October 19th, 2012

The first photo from the upcoming sequel to the 2010 film MACHETE, called MACHETE KILLS has been released and it’s a little surprising. Well, only surprising in the fact that the first good shot is of Amber Heard instead of the title character played by Danny Trejo. One would have thought we would see Danny [...]

Vanessa Hudgens has officially joined Mel Gibson and Lady Gaga in Machete Kills

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

Even though she has been rumored to star in Robert Rodriguez’s upcoming film MACHETE KILLS for quite some time, Vanessa Hudgens (HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, SUCKER PUNCH) has now made it official that she will be in the film. We thought this was old news but apparently the actress has just confirmed it on her website [...]

Mel Gibson and Robert Rodriguez give a behind-the-scenes look in new Machete Kills clip

Monday, July 30th, 2012

Even though it’s typically unheard of for Mel Gibson to do an interview for a film that he’s in the process of shooting, he gave the go ahead to “Extra” and they did a little behind the scenes featurette featuring Mel Gibson and Robert Rodriguez on the set of the sequel MACHETE KILLS. Mel Gibson [...]

Lady Gaga joins the cast and gets a poster for Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills

Thursday, July 26th, 2012

Filming appears to be well underway for Robert Rodriguez’s sequel MACHETE KILLS and today we find out that he’s been working with musical artist Lady Gaga. Rodriguez tweeted that he had just finished working with Lady Gaga and she pretty much blew his mind she was so great. Apparently she was so good she even [...]

Jessica Alba, Charlie Sheen and Danny Trejo in the first set pictures from Machete Kills

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

I’m not sure anyone really asked for a sequel to MACHETE, but that’s not going to stop Robert Rodriguez.  Production on MACHETE KILLS is underway in Austin, Texas where the cast and crew seem to be having one heck of a good time (it seems all Rodriguez sets are a good time).  Along with the [...]

Roadracers Blu-ray Review

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

I had no idea what to expect when I received director/writer Robert Rodriguez (SPY KIDS, SIN CITY) first American Hollywood film ROADRACERS.  Fresh off the exceptional EL MARIACHI, Rodriguez was given a million dollar budget (it ended up costing less) to throw together a Miramax studio Showtime film in just thirteen days.  Obviously no one [...]

Spy Kids 3: Game Over (Blu-ray)

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Not long ago I wrote about the fun of Robert Rodriguez films. Watching SPY KIDS 3, however, and I am reminded what happens when I have too much of a good thing. SPY KIDS 3 is the most technologically advanced of the series to this point. Rodriguez films usually have some incredible performances regardless of [...]

Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams (Blu-ray)

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

One of the defining characteristics about Robert Rodriguez films is the feeling of fun. Rodriguez loves making movies and he positively shines when he’s sharing that love with us as an audience. This feeling is present in everything that he’s done, but it is never more present than in his kids movies. SPY KIDS 2 [...]

Spy Kids (Blu-ray)

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

When SPY KIDS was originally released (2001) I was 22 years old; probably older than the “target demographic” for a film like this, but I loved it. I think I’ve always loved movies that 1) I saw as a child and made a connection with or 2) make me feel like a kid in a [...]

Robert Rodriguez takes over on Heavy Metal project and gets fans involved

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce It seems as though Robert Rodriguez has taken full control of a re-imagining of HEAVY METAL. For the longest time, David Fincher was attached, but that isn’t the case now. Rodriguez announced that he has picked up the rights and will be working with Kevin Eastman, who may know best as [...]

Kobe Bryant and Bruce Willis star in Robert Rodriguez’s short film The Black Mamba

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Posted by:Kristy Sturdivant Now, normally we don’t post anything that has to do with television or sports (unless I’m extremely fond of the subject, then it’s fair game), but when I saw that Robert Rodriguez (MACHETE) directed a commercial for Nike starring a couple of movie stars like Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo as well [...]

Machete (Blu-ray)

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

I’m sure most of you know this, but in 2007, directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino teamed up to make the campy horror flick GRINDHOUSE, which was meant to be a throwback to the old, cheesy, horror films of the 60′s and 70′s.  It debuted to mixed results but most of us felt it was [...]

Joel McHale joins Jessica Alba in Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids 4

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A couple of weeks ago, we reported here that Jessica Alba was going to star in Robert Rodriguez’s latest film in the SPY KIDS series as a retired secret agent  that is reactivated.  Today we find out that Alba’s husband in SPY KIDS 4 will be played by Joel McHale, most [...]

George Clooney’s The American beats out Machete at the box office

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant This is one of those weekends where I’m surprised any movie won the weekend.  Neither THE AMERICAN nor MACHETE had a broad range of audience appeal and I was kind of expecting both films to fail at the box office.  But I guess I’m a little surprised that George Clooney and [...]

The Last Exorcism beats out Takers at the box office

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant This past weekend was a bit odd in the sense that it featured two films fighting for the top spot that no one seemed interested in seeing.  TAKERS has been completed for a while now, but the studio couldn’t decide what to do with it.  After Chris Brown laid the beating [...]

Jessica Alba reteams with Robert Rodriguez for Spy Kids 4

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Marking her third time working with director Robert Rodriguez, Jessica Alba has signed on to star in SPY KIDS 4.  In the film, she will play a retired secret agent that’s reactivated.   Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara were the original Spy Kids and although they’re not going to be the stars [...]

Robert Rodriguez in talks to direct Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Over the weekend, the interesting nugget was dropped that Robert Rodriguez is in negotiations with Fox to direct the infamous DEADPOOL spin-off that has been planned for over a year now.  Everyone involved with the project is being unusually tight-lipped about it, but the one thing we do know for sure [...]

New picture of Lindsay Lohan in Machete

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant When Lindsay Lohan isn’t snorting coke, getting arrested or passing out drunk, she’s actually a pretty decent actress. Unfortunately, she spends all of her time doing the first three things and now no one in the world thinks of her as an actress. It seems like MEAN GIRLS was decades ago. [...]

Predators (From Robert Rodriguez)

Monday, July 12th, 2010

I was ready to trash this new incarnation of the PREDATOR series. Expectations had been lowered thanks to the director, one Nimrod Antal, who last directed ARMORED, a ridiculous excuse for a caper movie which took down good actors like Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno and Matt Dillon (after an Oscar nomination). Now here he was [...]

Laurence Fishburne Joins Adrien Brody and Topher Grace in New Predators Movie

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Actors Laurence Fishburne, Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins and Alice Braga will be teaming up for the next installment in the PREDATOR series entitled PREDATORS.  The movie will be directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez.  The film follows a group of people as they find [...]

Adrien Brody to star in Predator reboot

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Posted by: Sturdy Adrien Brody has joined the cast of the upcoming Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY) directed PREDATOR reboot. Brady will play a “hunter of men” and the leader of the group that’s being hunted. Topher Grace is also in talks to star. After DUMMY and THE DARJEELING LIMITED, Brody grew on me as an [...]
