Before I start to comment about this movie, I would like to state my bias. Robert Rodriguez is one of my favorite writer/directors.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is Rodriguez last installment in the El Mariachi trilogy. And though I still enjoyed it, I must say that I also found it slightly disappointing. Could not really point a finger about what's missing in the movie, but it does lack the sense of freshness evident in the original El Mariachi, or the style executed in Desperado. That said though, I feel that it has been rather unfairly criticized. Ok the plot is thinner than your average model, but then again if plot is what you're after, then you'd better look somewhere else, cause Rodriguez was never big on them. What carries the movie though is its fast pace, cartoon style action, wicked sense of humor, and the variety of characters. The movie is a colour galore, and if you take it lightly it can provide for some good entertainment. The cast as customary with Rodriguez-ed movies is first class, and the addition of Johnny Depp is a big plus point. On the down side of things a bit more of Selma Hayek would have gone down quite well, at least with the male demographic. So if you're into Rodriguez the chances are you've seen the movie already, and if you're not go ahead, just don't expect a serious action movie.

Devoid of any hype "Scorched", is one of those movies, which totally takes you by surprise, and I mean this in the best of ways. It reminded me of Nick Gomez's "Drowning Mona", because it is set in a small town, its fresh, off-beat, and very funny. While it may not be everybody's cup of tea, individuals with a liking for fresh comedy will probably lap it up, just like I did. The movie tells the tale of average people who are fed up with the problems of everyday life, and so decide to take their revenge by robbing the local bank, which happens to be their place of work. The movie is well written, and awesomely directed by Grazer. Even the casting works very well, by mixing established, semi-established and young and up-coming actors, which include John Cleese, Alicia Silverstone, Woody Harrelson, Rachael Leigh Cook, and Paulo Costanzo.
