An amazing buffet, open bar, great music (Johnny Cash: hell yes!) and a killer setting (Toronto’s Spin Gallery, which had all kinds of awesome and dark photography up on the walls) seriously bumped up the cool [...]

According to this Rotten Tomatoes article, Robert Rodriguez is making a straight-to-DVD feature-length version of Machete. It’s about time Danny Trejo got a high-profile ass-kicking action hero role. Now, “Where are my wife and daughter?!” On a related note, watching this trailer again I realized that no director, aside from maybe Sam Peckinpah, liked Gatling [...]
