Robert Rodriguez

  • Beyond the Multiplex

    Quentin Tarantino greets his adoring fans, explains "Death Proof." Plus: Harvey Weinstein slaps down Kurt Russell.
  • "Grindhouse"

    This deliciously depraved B-movie homage is as subtle as a buzz saw headed for a villain's private parts -- and it's rip-roarin' fun!
  • Beyond the Multiplex

    Opening weekend at the Austin filmfest offers a controversial documentary about (not by) Michael Moore, an outrageous horror-comedy by Alan Cumming and a few Tarantino impersonations.
  • "Sin City"

    Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and Mickey Rourke star in this brash, sick-as-hell comic-book noir.
  • "Once Upon a Time in Mexico"

    Robert Rodriguez's gun-slingin', car-chasin' joyous mess of a movie -- featuring Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek and more -- is also a political allegory on an epic scale.
  • "Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams"

    Cooler gadgets! Mini-mutants! A mad scientist on a mysterious island! Robert Rodriguez follows up his 2001 smash with another comic fantasy that'll please adults as much as kids.
  • "Spy Kids"

    This surprisingly entertaining movie turns the adults into kids and the kids into adults -- and everyone laughs at the talking toilet.
  • The Faculty

    It may lack the emotional intensity of old-school horror flicks like "Carrie," but "The Faculty" is still bloody good fun.
