Comic-Con Part 2: Hall H – Movies and Television… sort of.

July 27, 2011

As mentioned before, this is not a professional press piece written by someone in the trenches, the stage-sides and the red carpets with the photographers, the bloggers and the paparazzi.  This is purely a piece about one person’s experience at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) International 2011.  There are no “scoops” here; there are no startling revelations; there are no one-on-one interviews with anyone; there are no photographs from any exclusive parties, as I’m just not cool.  At all.

MOVIE REVUE: Machete Slays Cliches

September 5, 2010

 

Machete, Rodriguez’s first (with the promise of two sequels!) official foray into the sub-genre “Mexploitation” arrives at a politically relevant time as Arizona’s immigration climate is splashed all over the news.  Still, the overall tongue-in-cheek tone of the film suggests coincidence, as Machete is the first of several faux trailers from 2007’s Grindhouse to be made into a feature-length.  Reportedly, Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving is on the way.
