Plot Summary: "Frida" chronicles the life Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek) shared unflinchingly and openly with Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), as the young couple took the art world by storm. From her complex and enduring relationship with her mentor and husband to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative and romantic entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a bold and uncompromising life as a political, artistic, and sexual revolutionary.

Comments: Salma Hayek is terrific. This is a breakthrough film for Salma Hayek. She is terrific as Frida, the 20th Century Mexican artist whose bold art and passion for life was only matched in intensity by the physical difficulties she faced in life.
Hopefully this role will enable Hayek to capture more serious scripts in the future. To date, she had been cast in "look how pretty I am" roles that featured her considerable physical beauty rather than her acting prowess. Here, she is convincing as the complex Frida and demonstrates a real range as an actress. Her performance comes at a time when Hollywood could really use a beautiful actress who can actually act.
The film itself is beautifully shot and manages to capture early-20th Century Mexico in a romantic way. The communist party subplots are amusing, particularly in our post-communism world.

Tagline: When the smoke clears, it just means he's reloading.

Plot Summary: With this sequel to his prize-winning independent previous film, "El Mariachi," director Robert Rodriquez joins the ranks of Sam Peckinpah and John Woo as a master of slick, glamorized ultra-violence. We pick up the story as a continuation of "El Mariachi," where an itinerant musician, looking for work, gets mistaken for a hitman and thereby entangled in a web of love, corruption, and death. This time, he is out to avenge the murder of his lover and the maiming of his fretting hand, which occurred at the end of the earlier movie. However, the plot is recapitulated, and again, a case of mistaken identity leads to a very high body count, involvement with a beautiful woman who works for the local drug lord, and finally, the inevitable face-to-face confrontation and bloody showdown.

Comments: Awsome! Lots of fun to watch! 10/10. Desperado is one of my favorite action movies of all time. Robert Rodregiez and Quentin Tarrantino are a great movie making team. I enjoy their movies allot. (Minor Spoilers) Desperado is about a guitarist who calls himself El Mariachi who out to avenge his girlfriend's death. That is the whole thing but don’t go thinking this is a drama because it isn’t. It has allot of humor in it like the beginning when Steve Buscemi talks to the bartender. This is one of my favorite movies and I rate it a 10/10
