Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Machete

Posted: September 3, 2010 at 8:10 pm   /   Another Take From Zac, Local

I found Jan Brewer’s beheaded bodies, they are in…Machete!

Posted: September 3, 2010 at 12:47 am   /   Film, Local

Holy s***. Pretty sure that’s what they should have titled this movie, because that’s what I heard people uttering the most throughout the film. Combining boobs and gore and utter ridiculousness, this film has pretty much everything a guy could ask for in a summer flick. I hadn’t seen any of Robert Rodriguez’s previous work, […]
