Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)
Absolute Garbage
Everything about this film (aside from some light moments provided by Mr. Depp) was rubbish. It's as if Robert Rodriguez has forgotten how to make a movie. There was better production value, story and shot selection in RR's first film "EL MARIACHI" made for $7,000.
My advice to RR is... Either continue to make SPY KIDS movies that adults don't watch or hire some people to help you because it's obvious you cannot make a movie by yourself. This film would've been destined for "straight-to-video" land had it not been for Depp's success following "PIRATES..."
Stay far away unless you want to be bored to death. 1/10 stars.
Leaving Peoria (2001)
Light Entertainment
For a short film, LEAVING PEORIA wasn't really short. It was 30 minutes long. The film bounces between heavy comedy and heavy drama. Maybe too quickly. The transitions were rough. The camera work and performances are good. The story is familiar. The film was good, not great, but definitely entertaining.
