Maldicion Maya (1987)
If you’re going in expecting some great 1980’s SOV slasher/murder/thriller/suspenseful/cheesy goodness with Maldicion Maya (Muerte En El Caribe), well you’re going to be fairly disappointed because it’s none of that at all. Try to gaslight yourself that it’s a good movie? Don’t even try it. I know that tends to happen, but yeah don’t do that. Please. Maldicion Maya begins with a researcher & a lanchero (boat rider) heading out into the deep seas of Cancun in search of Mayan

Trash-Mex Tapes 4: Vengeance! But on a budget…
In the 4th edition of Trash-Mex Tapes, I chose 4 action-revenge titles because they’re from the glorious 1990’s & all 4 were videohomes of course. Videohomes are a type of film that you have to be open-minded of because often they were made on the fly & with little to no money. However, plenty of them were made with a lot of effort and it usually shows by actually being a great film or at least decent. I can also say that several videohomes were pieces of shit with no effort

Waco Texas: Apocalipsis (1993)
Sometimes filmmakers want to portray a real-life event accurately and not make so many changes & such. The filmmakers want the audience to see what really happened in this particular event & make them feel like they’re right in front of it all happening. In the case of Waco Texas: Apocalipsis, that isn’t the case at all since it’s not very accurate & full of wild/twisted exaggerations that’ll make you laugh and head scratch. Even the other movie didn’t portray the Waco Siege

Sucedio En Monte Carmel: La Tragedia De Waco Texas (1993)
The Waco siege of 1993 shocked everyone in the United States because so many innocent lives were taken away and the one at fault was a sick & delusional man. After it happened, some Mexican movie producers decided to make a movie adaption of that tragic day. It was easy stuff to write about after all since David Koresh & his actions were well-known by then. So, a movie was made and it was called Sucedio En Monte Carmel: La Tragedia De Waco Texas (aka "It Happened in Mount Car

Trash-Mex Tapes 3: What Are These?
Trash-Mex Tapes returns and I bring it back with 2 specific oddities from my collection. The first tape being of a film that seems to be virtually unknown & maybe “forgotten”. The second tape is of a film about time-travel & reincarnation while using clips from an old romance-drama film. “What Are These?” Indeed. Also, I took the liberty of uploading the films on YouTube (thank you by the way & enjoy). If they have to be removed, then they will be removed. Just an FYI. Las

15 Best Mexican Films of All-Time (according to Trash-Mex)
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Why of all people is making a list like this? “What are the best Mexican films of all-time?” is one of those questions I get asked often and while I’ve mentioned a variety of titles here & there, I’ve never exactly made a list of what I felt were the best Mexican films of all-time and alas, here we are. I chose “15” instead of the usual “10” because I didn’t really want to add in a “runner-up” list or anything of that nature. How did I cho

Leo (Gerardo Vigil) is our main man in Esclavas Del Sadismo. Leo lives with his over-bearing mom in a rundown apartment building. His occupation is film-making. Porn filmmaking.

Sergio Goyri is "Sergio Goyri" part 1 (An Assortment of Sergio Goyri films)
Sergio Goyri is one of the most familiar faces on Mexican television and in film. 200+ acting credits to his name and a whole lot of Mexican ladies still lusting for him after all these years. Goyri has also been through quite of bit of controversies to which he’s either apologized for or simply debunking the claims made of him. And despite the busy work flow & constant gossip made about him, Sergio Goyri continues to be “Sergio Goyri” . I enjoy many films starring Sergio

El Arma Secreta (1992)
Sergio Goyri just worked on anything back in the 1990’s and when I say anything , I literally mean anything . If he wasn’t fighting in a post-apocalyptic future like in Comando De La Muerte & Reten , then he was shooting someone with a custom gun in rural Mexico like in Arma Infernal , or he was mythical-looking dude fighting a demon like in Trono Del Infierno . Sergio Goyri’s filmography is quite unique and it even gets more unique when he you see that he made an action-cri
