Robert Rodriguez’ Machete Kills set for September 2013 Release

Amber-Heard-and-Danny-Trejo-in-Machete-Kills

Robert Rodriguez’ Machete Kills is all but guaranteed to be one of the best action films of the year. The 2010 original film, Machete, took north of $40m. at the box office, and pretty much instantly became something of a cult classic. When you partner Rodriguez with Danny Trejo, you expect nothing less. Partnering up [...]

Alexa-Vega-in-Machete-Kills

Robert Rodriguez returns us to the world of Machete once more next year for the second film in the coming trilogy, Machete Kills.

A True Hollywood ‘Bad Ass’ – Danny Trejo Interview

Bad Ass 3D Packshot

By now, the tale of Danny Trejo’s trajectory from a young, drug dependent jailbird to seasoned cinematic heavy and eventual Robert Rodriguez-endorsed leading man is the stuff of Hollywood legend. The hardest working man in the business shows no sign of talking it easy at the ripe age of 68, and the latest addition to [...]

Machete Kills Artwork Released, is Unsubtle

Machete-Kills-Poster

This is the latest milestone on the odd journey of Machete, with the first artwork to the sequel (of the two planned further films) to the ridiculously over the top 2010 Grindhousesque revenge thriller. While the first film showed that the first film made for a great trailer it’s a little surprising that Robert Rodriguez [...]

Hobo With a Shotgun Has Another Great Poster To Its Name

It’s a strange time of life when fake trailers get made into feature length films, yet Machete made good on its Grindhouse origins and Jason Eisener is the man to bring Hobo With a Shotgun violently to life Casting Rutger Hauer as the titular Hobo was a good idea, and this new poster is another [...]




Deadly Crossing Review

Deadly Crossing DVD

Guitarist, martial artist, conservationist, writer, producer, animal rights activist and all-round renaissance man Steven Seagal is back in the land of direct-to-video, following his first foray onto the big screen in nearly a decade playing (and rather enjoying himself in the process) the main villain in Robert Rodriguez’s recent feature, Machete. The film in question [...]




Machete Review

Robert Rodriguez regular and ex-Folsom prison inmate Danny Trejo (whose lived-in face looks as leathery as his character’s trademark waistcoat) plays the man with the big blades in Tex Mex revenge flick Machete, the director’s return to the big screen following his failed commercial attempt at recreating the Grindhouse experience for a modern audience, and [...]

Wait…hold on a minute. Before you all get excited (like I did) over this Grindhouse-esque action fest re-telling of a classic from movie [...]




Machete Review

I dare say, it’s been quite a blood fest at the cinema lately.  The Expendables and Piranha 3D had quite enough, but if you go and throw Machete in there too, it’s an all out blood fest extravaganza! The newest film by Robert Rodriguez opened this past weekend here in the States.  Originally filmed as [...]




An ‘American’ Beats a Mexican to First Place at the US Box Office

The American and Machete

The new George Clooney vehicle The American has taken the top spot at the US box office this weekend with a total of $16m in revenue, while Robert Rodriguez’s “mexploitation” actioner Machete is in third place, having managed to bring in just over $11m. Both of these figures are relatively small but as the summer [...]




Mexploitation – Meet the A-list cast of Machete

Sometimes we get lucky. Sometimes, when the stars are aligned and God is feeling particularly generous, some too-good-to-be-true piece of cinema news will whip round the internet and the holy grail of ensemble casts will be revealed. Some may say that, this year, it was The Expendables that stole the spotlight. But behind the call [...]

New Machete Clip Appears

My favourite piece of the marketing for Machete so far has to be the Red Band trailer Robert Rodriguez put out for his feature length updating of the Grindhouse trailer Machete, and in anticipation of its release next month there’s a new clip sent out in the ether today. Directing with Ethan Maniquis, Rodriguez is [...]




Robert Rodriguez circling Deadpool

Ryan Reynolds Deadpool

We reported at the beginning of the year on some of Ryan Reynold’s thoughts about his upcoming X-Men spin-off, Deadpool. Since then, much of the Reynolds/superhero focus has been on his turn as The Green Lantern, however Deadpool seems to still be very much on the cards. There were various reports last month that Robert [...]
