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! The Grindhouse faux trailer turned feature length grind house film fits in perfectly with its predecessors, Planet Terror and Death Proof.  The film is just as over the top, gory, and ludicrous as those that aforementioned double feature and is filled with same game talent beyond […]

Machete

Posted: September 3, 2010 at 6:24 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Based on the faux-preview shown inbetween “Planet Terror” and “Death Proof,” Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” does exactly what it aims to do. Danny Trejo plays Machete, an ex-Federales with a huge machete that kicks a whole lot of ass. Enough Said. Machete (Danny Trejo) was the best Federale around. Known as a hero to his country, […]

Steve Kelley Reviews “Machete” Starring Danny Trejo

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, […]

It is approaching the three year mark since Grindhouse was out in theaters, and we were treated to the trailer of Machete.

The final product is a completely immersive, breathtaking cinematic achievement that will make you feel like you are experiencing the film from the other side of the screen.

James Cameron’s Avatar is finally here and not only does it deliver the visuals effects we were promised, which are quite possibly the best ever put on film, but the story is engaging and entertaining, if familiar, with a third act that must be seen to believe. In Avatar, James Cameron has literally created an […]
