Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Saturday, October 25th, 2003While not near as good (IMNSHO) as El Mariachi or Desparado, it still is in the style of those films. It shows that Rodriguez took the time between the second and third to do the Spy Kids flicks and a great deal of the big time Hollywood machine seems to have rubbed off on this, the final installment of the trio.
This isn’t a review of the film, but an account of my most recent tour of Mexico. Twelve concerts and a TV show in twenty four days, uncommon for a American based rock/pop artist. Usually, the larger acts do only Mexico City and perhaps Monterey. I thought it appropriate to see the latest installment of the Banderas lead flick the night before my departure, if only to set the tone for the month.
