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?  Felipe Alferez (Sergio Goyri) comes home with good news to his wife Yolanda (Azela Robinson) and it turns o

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

I learned a few things from watching  A Golpe De Hacha : First, pizza in Mexico is pronounced  "pisa" . If your cat gets chopped up with a hatchet, then you will automatically receive $20,000 pesos in your checking account the following day. If your best friend, the local priest, and your boss get killed with a hatchet, then you will also receive $20,000 pesos for each dead person. Also, if a guy with big hands starts flirting with you at work, then he clearly wants to date y

A young thug called  El Maya (Alan Ciangherotti)  and his group of goons kidnap women around town for money, but as of lately El Maya has gone super weird since he’s gotten involved in brujería and has been killing the kidnapped women for sacrifices to  “El Maestro” (the devil I guess) . The body count rises up very high and it’s up to a cop named  Rodrigo (Jorge Aldama)  along with his partner (that he’s totally banging) to find the killer before more innocent women are ki

The haven is owned

“I am the new Messiah” says Carlos (Jorge Reynoso) who was in court for the murder of his wife & 2 sons. Carlos is found guilty for the murders but declared legally insane, so he’s sent to a mental institution where he gets electric shock treatment that puts him in a vegetative state. Dr. Veronica Arizmendi (Edith Gonzalez) is assigned to treat Carlos and she sees Carlos as a man with a damaged brain that can actually be fixed—much like a computer that can be repaired. Dr. A

Like  The Sinful Dwarf ,  Hasta Que El Sol Se Oculte  (aka "Until The Sun Goes Down")  tells the story of a married couple who have just rented a room in a big ol' strange house which is in charged by an old man in a wheelchair, his young brother who's a pervert & has a ponytail, and an old lady who appears to be a companion to the old man.

Sometimes it’s a beautiful thing, but sometimes it’s a sad thing. Either way, it’s been dealt with by all. In 1984, Lionel Richie released a song called  “Hello”   which is about unrequited love. In the music video, Lionel admires a young blind girl from afar and he just happens to be her college professor. After a series of aw
