Once Upon a Time in Mexico

I didn't even go back to sleep. I went back to bed, but at 6:20, I just said "Screw It. I'm up."

I watched Ebert and Roeper. I agree with their two thumbs up stance on Once Upon a Time in Mexico. It's violent, but it's good. Rodriguez keeps up a frenetic pace throughout. Johnny Depp continues his streak from Pirates of the Caribbean: he just rules this movie. Eva Mendes is hot, by the way, and she manages to kick ass in the flick, too.

Rodriguez generally insists on real stuntwork, instead of CGI; as much as he can, anyway. That said, there are a couple of stunts that you had to ask yourself: How the hell did they do that?
