Well, that's pretty much all I wanted to say! Machete premieres in the US on September 3rd.

First Predators.

Then Expendables.

Now Machete.

Its like Hollywood finaly had a year where they sat down and said 'you know that Dave guy in Cambridge? why dont we make a few films just for him?'

Epic Win. I cannot wait for this, as Trejo has been a favourite of mine for years, and is easily the meanest looking dude ever plus I love the Mariachi trilogy and Dusk Till Dawn, so its good to see Rodriguez back in that style of film making.

That looks pretty badass. Jessica Alba doesn't hurt, either.

she does if you ask nicely

Well, I have heard some unpleasant things about machete. Probably will not see it. Well, yeah, I will not see it. Not too much of a Rodriguez fan anyway.

I'm only going to see it out of curiosity myself. It might be one for the DVD.

There is a good review of Machete at Bighollywood.com by John Nolte. One could ask, what is with Robert Rodriguez? Me thinks there might be a little bit of America hating in this movie. What say you?

That depends. Would you say that Desperado was a mexican hating film? Its villain was a stereotypical latin-american drug baron after all.

Whilst the plot centers around a contentious domestic issue, I would suggest that Rodriguez is more about making bad guys out of the corrupt, rather than an entire nation. After all, Jessica Alba plays a US Marshal who joins him to fight the villains.

So the only way this film could be anti american is if the entire US govt was corrupt and not treating the immigration issue correctly.

Its not saying that. Are you?

Does Jessica Alba say that people who believe only in legal immigration should be cut down? What exactly did she say? Who would you rather be stopped by, Mexican border guards on the southern border of Mexico, or American Border patrol in any American border state?
