Chicago Ebert Sun Times

"El Mariachi" - All he wants is to be a mariachi, like his father, his grandfather and his great grandfather before him. But the town he thinks will bring him luck brings only a curse of deadly mistaken identity. Forced to trade his guitar for a gun, the mariachi is playing for his life in this critically-acclaimed film debut from director Robert Rodriguez. Financed with earnings from a month-long stay in a research hospital, this astonishing action adventure was shot with no second takes, using borrowed equipment and a talented cast of unknowns. The riveting result is a wild bullet-dodging ride through a world of bandido violence, from the suspense of the opening shoot-out to the tragedy of the unexpected conclusion. With little more than a great story and a lot of heart, Rodriguez has created pure movie pleasure, setting new standards for independent filmmaking, and establishing himself as an unquestionable talent. "An enormously entertaining movie." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-times) "Desperado" - Antonio Banderas, Joaquim De Almeida, Salma Hayek, Steve Buscemi, Cheech Marin and Quentin Tarantino star in this stylish shoot-'em-up described as a south-of-the-border "Pulp Fiction." Director Robert Rodriguez follows up his legendary debut film, "El Mariachi," with this sexy sequel about a mysterious guitar player (Banderas) searching for vengeance against the men who murdered his girlfriend. "Once Upon A time In Mexico" - Leaping back into action, gun-slinging, guitar-toting hero "El Mariachi" is back in town in "Once Upon A Time In Mexico," as director Robert Rodriguez delivers the epic final chapter of his pulp Western trilogy. Starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, Eva Mendes, Enrique Iglesias and Willem Dafoe "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" is a full-frontal assault.

Writer/director Randal Kleiser ("Grease") creates "a genuine family feeling" (Robert Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) with this moving and poignant film about friendship that is especially "brave, funny and breathtaking" (Rex Reed, The New York Observer). Eric Roberts gives a "touching urgent performance" (Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle) and leads an outstanding ensemble cast, which includes Gregory Harrison, Bronson Pinchot, Margaret Cho, Robby McDowall, George Segal, Olivia Newton-John and Academy Award winners Marlee Matlin and Lee Grant. Roberts is brilliant as Nick, the bright young L.A. architect whose three-year battle with AIDS is about to come to a close. Rather than face debilitation, he chooses to end his life, but first he decides to throw the greatest farewell party of all time. As friends and family gather for this bittersweet celebration, something incredible happens. Between the laughter and tears come surprise guests, unexpected reconciliations and amazing revelations. It's a two-day-long, uplifting, outrageous and life-affirming party that is ultimately Nick's final but everlasting legacy. Join a star-studded guest list and celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime event that is heartwarming, hilarious and most of all...unforgettable.
