Report: Lady Gaga confirmed to star in Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete Kills”…

Leave a comment

Lady Gaga, confirmed the surprising news that she will be starring in Robert Rodriguez’s sequel to “Machete”, titled, “Machete Kills”. Yes, she will star alongside Danny Trejo, Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Amber Heard, Michelle Rodriguez, etc. As you can see in the poster, she’ll be playing a character called, La Chameleon.

I know this casting is controversial to some. Some are going to hate her for this and say that she shouldn’t be in the movie. I would give her a chance and not judge before the movie.

You should know by now folks, that music stars gets turned into actors in this day and age of the entertainment business. As a matter of fact. Music stars turning into movie stars have been happening for years. It all started with Elvis Presley, I believe. Then we got Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Meat Loaf, Michael Jackson, Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, Randy Travis, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Madonna, Will Smith, etc.

You say music stars don’t have any acting talent that they don’t deserve to be in the movies? Well, I’m sure they have some acting experience ’cause a lot of music stars do a lot of music videos, so that helps them give some acting experience. Think about it.

Gaga’s role in this film could be pretty cool. I’m looking forward to this film.

Report: Mel Gibson joins, “Machete”, sequel!!!

Leave a comment

Mel Gibson maybe in a heated feud against screenwriter, Joe Eszterhas over this Jew stuff, but that’s still not stopping Mel from working on film! Mel has just officially joined the cast of, “Machete Kills”, the sequel to the film, “Machete”, starring Danny Trejo, and directed by, Robert Rodriguez. Mel will be playing a supporting role but his character looks to be under wraps for now.

More on the story, here.

I saw the first, “Machete” movie, and I thought it was awesome! Looking forward to the sequel. Why does Mel keep working on film, even if he keeps getting in trouble in the news?

Well, he’s an actor and film director. That’s what he does. That’s what he is. He keeps working ’cause he likes it. Film and Hollywood is obviously a passion of his.

What’s keeping him working is that all this controversy he’s getting is helping him get a stronger career. Controversy, is good sometimes, ya know? As long as he is big in the news, Hollywood would want to keep working with him ’cause the controversy helps draw more people to the films.

No matter what you think of Mel’s personal problems, he will always be a very talented actor and director. I loved his movies over the years. The last movie he did was, “The Beaver”, last year.

This guy is not going to retire from Hollywood until he’s dead, I’m sure.

Netflix Pick (DVD): Matchete

Leave a comment

Last night, I watched the movie, “Matchete” directed by Robert Rodriguez, starring Danny Trejo, Robert Deniro, Jessica Alba and Steven Seagal. Yes, I finally saw it on Netflix DVD rental. I thought it was a great action movie. When you watch this film, it’ll make you feel like you’re watching a 70’s – 80’s low budget B movie flicks. It seemed like the film was shot with really old cameras. This movie is a revenge story about an illegal immigrant named, Machete Cortez, who is out to find a kidnapped girl. Machete is also a former Mexico federale. A drug lord which Steven Seagal plays, kills his own wife and child, now Matchete is stuck in a debate about illegal immigration.

While the plot and the content of this movie may seem silly to some, it does it’s best to try and stay old school. Rodriguez does a great job with the 70’s style. This is a very violent movie and there’s some nasty gore scenes as well. I can’t stand Jessica Alba, but I actually liked her in this movie. I liked Lindsay Lohan in this flick too.

This movie isn’t for everyone, some may find it pretty stupid, but try watching this film. Danny Trejo makes an awesome action star. I think you may even like it if you give it a chance. This is better than Rodriguez’s “Grindhouse” movies.
