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

Esclavas Del Sadismo (1994)

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

El Angel Guardian Del Barrio (1993)
Former cop turned private investigator Angel (Sergio Goyri) enters his office and looks outside the window and says “buenos dias pinchi ciudad” (“good morning, fucking city”) , reminding us of the dread the city contains. Angel is not only a private investigator, but he’s also an overall generous guy who protects the neighborhood he lives in. As it turns out, he was once a very established policeman, but revealing the corruption amongst his superiors was no-good and was bani

Violencia Sin Tregua (1990)
It’s your birthday & you still go to work, your wife made tuna sandwiches for lunch despite not liking tuna, but at least there’s a nice can of tomato juice to go along with it. The tires from your car got jacked, but that’s okay because you can just take a metro van ride to work. Maybe you’ll have to walk a little distance to work still, but that’s fine because your co-workers are throwing you a bash at the office so it’s gonna be a total chill day. You then suddenly witnes

Placer y Muerte (1996)
Remember that horror-thriller Angeles De La Muerte starring Patricia Rivera & Diana Ferreti? Well 3 years after its release it got a really random videohome remake and instead of 2 lovely & crazy ladies with switchblades, it is now 2 dudes with 1 big knife and timid acting. One of them being Sergio Goyri. Weird, huh? Two brothers "Raymundo" (Sergio Goyri) & "Hilario" (Jose Luis Becerra) prowl the streets at night looking for loose women to kill as an act of revenge for the

Crack: Vicio Mortal (1991)
Crack: Vicio Mortal is about the dangers of the notorious drug " crack cocaine" and it all takes place in the ghetto (Galveston, TX to be exact) and they make sure you know this by filming the opening credits in all-black neighborhood where things supposedly appear to be rough, but really everyone around the neighborhood is just chilling. This all goes on while Too Short’s “The Ghetto” plays. Let me be frank though, this opening credit scene was truly done in poor taste

In Yo No La Mate (translated as “I Didn’t Kill Her”) , Mexican actor/all-around freak Sergio Goyri plays a guy that is falsely accused of murder. Did he really do it though? Was there even enough evidence to prove this? Was this really all word of mouth? Is there perhaps a bigger conspiracy going on? Why all the fuss? Why all the mess? What the hell is even going on?
