Among the myriad filmmakers working in Hollywood today, Robert Rodriguez truly stands out as unique and fascinating. Much like his friend and frequent collaborator Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez has made his career by celebrating the kind of films he grew up loving, mainly the genres of action, crime, and exploitation, and mashing them up with his own artistic sensibilities. The film of his that perhaps best exemplifies his style is Machete (2010), a low-budget, ultra-violent exploitation tribute starring Danny Trejo as a blade-wielding Mexican Federale out for revenge. The film was a success both with critics and at the box office, but with Rodriguez’s busy schedule of projects, some wondered if the two hypothetical sequels, Machete Kills and Machete Kills Again, would actually get made. But the first of those sequels has arrived, and while Machete Kills isn’t quite on the same level as the original, it is still awesomely...

The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond received a limited theatrical release back in 2010, and the movie has sat on the shelf since. With a great cast – including Danielle Harris (Halloween), Robert Patrick (Terminator 2), James Duval (Donnie Darko), Nick Mennell (Friday the 13th) and Electra and Elise Avellan (Grindhouse) – fans were clamoring to own it.

First off, let me apologize to you, dear readers, for getting this week’s column to you so late – it’s been crazy busy on my end, and this got away from me. In happier news, over the weekend, I finally saw The Wolverine, and I have to say that I liked it more than I thought I would. More importantly, this week finally sees the release of Elysium, which I am planning to see as soon as I can. And looking beyond the end of summer, this week’s installment of Trailer Trashin’ takes another look at one of my most anticipated films of the fall, Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills.
Premise: Mexican ex-Federal agent Machete Cortez (Danny Trejo) is recruited by the President of the United States (Charlie Sheen) for a mission that would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must take down eccentric billionaire arms dealer...

The trailer at the end of May seemed to have concluded the barrage of stills, posters and general promotional flim-flam for Robert Rodriguez' upcoming Machete Kills. But no! With a "Hail to the Chief!" from Rod himself, we're off and running again, with another character banner for the collection. Who is the mysterious "Carlos Estevez"?Yes, it's Charlie Sheen - you spotted that, right? - tooled up and giving us his war face. Whether it's the war face from Platoon or the war face from Hot Shots Part Deux remains to be seen, but we know which one our money's on.Sheen, as you'll also have gathered, plays the Us president who employs Danny Trejo's ex-Federale merc to trail the deadly Voz: a crazed, arms-dealing revolutionary who's planning to send a weapon into space.Mel Gibson is Voz, and he, Sheen and Trejo are joined by Michelle Rodriguez,...

Here's a fun action-packed short film from Robert Rodriguez called Two Scoops. It stars twin actresses Electra Avellan and Elise Avellan, who have appeared in the previous Rodriguez films Machete and Grindhouse. They play "ice cream scoopers by day," and "danger seekers by night."
One of the awesome things about this project is that when it was announced, Rodriguez invited fans to shoot footage of themselves for the opportunity to collaborate with Rodriguez on finishing the film. The movie has now been completed, and you can watch it below.

Back in March 2013, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, who is known for everything from Sin City and From Dusk Til Dawn to Desperado and Spy Kids, announced that he would be partnering with Blackberry for his newest short film, titled Two Scoops. The collaboration was to extend farther, however; rather than make the short on his own, Rodriguez and Blackberry sought fan input at key points, crowdsourcing the design of the monster, weapon, and a secret agent in the final product, with credit going to the winning submissions. The completed version of the film, starring Planet Terror‘s Electra and Elise Avellan, is now available online, and can be seen below.

Back in March, director Robert Rodriguez announced a cool short film project called Two Scoops starring Electra Avellan and Elise Avellan, the sultry twin actresses from Machete and Grindhouse, as "ice cream scoopers by day, danger seekers by night." What made this project truly cool was Rodriguez asked fans to shoot footage of themselves with a chance to collaborate with Rodriguez and finish the film. At the time, there was plenty in the teaser for the film that needed to be finished, including the creation of the monster. Now the film is finished, and you can see what Rodriguez and his fans came up with below. Watch!

Has director Robert Rodriguez made a sci-fi parable about undocumented Hispanics?
His short "Two Scoops" hit the Internet recently (watch above), with twins Electra and Elise Avellan playing ice cream servers on a rocky road to finding their missing dad.
"We're not from here," the two are fond of saying in their Spanish accents. And we soon discover just how far-flung they are when these badass aliens (nudge nudge, wink wink) fight a monster to get to the truth.
"This is not a movie," declares one of the girls about halfway through the 11-minute film. Unfortunately, some YouTube viewers agreed.
"This hurt me to watch," wrote one viewer.
Rodriguez ("Sin City," "SpyKids," "From Dusk Till Dawn") made the featurette as part of the Keep Moving project with BlackBerry 10. Fans filled in a few plot points as part of the promotion.

We were curious to see if Fox was going to pick up Machete Kills, as they distributed the first film, but it has just been announced that Open Road Films acquired the movie for Us distribution. Open Road had a huge win with The Grey earlier this year, and is releasing a number of upcoming titles, including Silent Hill: Revelation 3D later this month.
According to Deadline, the plan is for a wide theatrical release some time in 2013. Machete Kills features the return of Danny Trejo, along with the appearances from Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Demian Bichir, Amber Heard, Zoe Saldana, Jessica Alba, Charlie Sheen, Alexa Vega, Lady Gaga, William Sadler, Electra Avellan, and Elise Avellan.

It was announced last month that William Sadler had joined the ever-growing cast of Machete Kills, but we had no details on what role he had been cast in. We now have a new poster, revealing that he’s playing a character named Sheriff Doakes in the film.

In case you've been wondering what Chloe Moretz looks like as an awkward teen that unleashes telekinetic doom at her high school prom, Dread Central has an image of the actress as Carrie. The remake of the classic 1970's horror adaptation (based on Stephen King's novel) started filming, and Moretz was spotted wearing a dowdy dress and sweater combo buttoned up to her chin with a big silver cross. DC shares that, " …although she's definitely in costume, it's not yet known what [Moretz's] physical look (hair, etc.) will be." "Boys Don't Cry" director Kimberly Peirce is helming the remake, set to hit theaters next March. Unleash the pig's blood!
