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

It is a story of mortality in the styles of Ingmar Bergman or Andre Tarkovsky. Something like that, I guess. An intellectually-minded filmmaker struck with an incurable illness decides to spend his last days at a secluded mansion that has belonged to his family for a very long time. His artist wife is to accompany him there and also be a part of the film he’s making which will mostly consist of his surroundings and ultimately his demise as well. As the days go by, the filmma

About 4 minutes into Esclavas Del Sadismo (aka "Slaves of Sadism") and there's already a bum dry humping a dead woman's body. Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to another Christian Gonzalez movie. 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. Street porn filmmaking to be exact. Leo tends to kidnap random girls from either the streets or occupants of th

After witnessing the brutal murder of his parents during his first communion—“El Güero” (Humberto Zurita) is still haunted from that day. He remembers his dying father telling him it be strong no matter what and these words he lives by as he goes out & hunts people down he is hired to kill. El Güero has no mercy. Once he finds you, he fucking kills you hard. That’s it. No remorse. No regrets. The perfect hitman. When the son of corrupt politician Rutilo Moran (Salvador Sanch

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

Ernesto (credited as “Sergio Goiry”) is a fucking dick. Why? For starters, he’s pretty bad with his wife Angelica (Gilda Garibay) & their two daughters since he lags it as a provider despite having the income to do so. Ahh, but I must mention that his source of income is in drug dealing and most of the money he makes ends up going to his mistress who’s totally not a great person either. Angelica’s parents are wealthy and are not fans of Ernesto at all, thus they try to help

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

El Carro De La Muerte (aka "The Car Of Death") is based on a corrido written by legendary Mexican composer Paulino Vargas and in the corrido it tells the story of a tanker truck with poor Mexican people inside it being smuggled to the USA and end up dead after the truck is pursued by the law. An all too familiar story since many corridos always tell the tragic stories of people trying to cross over the border. The Carro De La Muerte corrido was quite popular during the 19

The other day I watched Federico Fellini’s Roma and I was baffled and in awe at the same time because of how weird & beautiful it was. The very next day I watched Victor Martinez’s El Camaleon ("The Chameleon") and that movie also baffled me. Did I go awe to it as well? Not exactly, but I was amused by what I was watching. After all, Angel De La Peña transforms into Sergio Goyri . A transformation I never would've imagined in my weirdest, random fever dreams. An old prison
