One of the newest movies available on Demand on Satellite television, that I got after seeing info on direct tv, is “Machete.” Machete was directed by Robert Rodriguez and is reminiscent of the Grind-house double feature that he and Quentin Tarrantino directed a short while before. Machete started off as a trailer between the Double Feature, but was later made into a feature length film. This was made from the trailer more than likely because of all of the over the top violence and action which is what main stream media is missing today. Several other movies are being made from Grind house trailers and Machete is paving the way as the first to be released.

Machete may seem a little bit silly and over the top to some people. But, just consider the fact that actors like Michelle Rodriguez and Robert De Niro The A-list cast and crew helps to lend validity to the film. It’s got some of the best action that contemporary society as seen. Danny Trejo punches into a mans stomach and uses his intestines as a rope when jumping out a window and crashes through a window that is a floor lower. The only people that will not like this are the kinds of people that go into it expecting something completely serious. If you’re into the kind of film that isn’t full of meaningless story and are more about high definition explosions then you will not be disappointed by Machete.
