Robert Rodriguez's Machete might be the best thing to happen to Mexicans in film in a long time.  Or the worst thing, depending on your sense of humor.  It is, however, one of the summer's most fun movies without a doubt.  No, I still liked Piranha 3-D better, but this is still up there.  With its' over the top violence, retro 70's flavor, and all star cast that plays along; for my pesos, it's hard to go wrong.

I’m like Chaplin’s Tramp, I’m so broke and I could only afford to see one movie this weekend. I wanted to see Machete and I REALLY wanted to see Mesrine: Killer Instinct. But then I got the email. The nerds were giving me a shot to write my own review. Sure, it was for the one movie they couldn’t get anyone else to go see, but nonetheless, I was honored. So Going The Distance was my movie this weekend.

I have always liked George Clooney.  He is a big time movie star, but likes to make good films.  Not just blockbusters but well made, well crafted pieces of work that show he’s got half a brain.  This film is another example of that.

I can't remember the last film I saw that was really good until about the last six minutes.  Oh, wait, THIS one.  Yes, really.  I was hoping for sort of an Exorcist for this generation, what I got was a cliched verse from a Satanic Metal song.  But not as rocking.  And it's a real shame this time, because The Last Exorcism had a lot going for it.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most entertaining movie of the summer.  What?  Too strong right out of the gate?  Well, you nay-sayers, you negative nancys, you...you, people that like to be all sour-pussy about everything, can just bite me.
