Once Upon a Time in Mexico



I just got back from seeing that movie. Pretty decent in a comic booky sort of way. Director Rodriguez wants to be the Hispanic Quentin Tarantino, and that influence shows, as does his admiration for Sergio Leone. Unfortunately, Rodrigeuz doesn't have Tarantino's wit, and Antonio Banderas is no Clint Eastwood. For me, Johnny Depp made the fim as Agent Sands. Depp plays such a good edgy psycho. I think he's the best character actor around today.



There was a preview forthe new Coen brothers film, Intolerable Cruelty with George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Billy Bob Thornton. I'm looking forward to that.
