Desperado!
Well, watched Desperado just now on TNT. I can see why people liked it. It's campy beyond all belief, but kind of funny and cute in a bloody sort of way. I did absolutely love Steve Buscemi's tavern-story introduction of Antonio's gunslinging character. That was great. His stupid melodramatic descriptions, the other bar go-ers disbelieving reaction to it. Great.
Definitely a popcorn movie. But a fun, silly popcorn movie with lots of explosions and Salma Hayek's fantastic hair. I am now prepared to see the sequel with Johnny Depp.
I'm watching a different channel now when I go back to do the dishes; Swtichback is on playing. That was an excellent, excellent murder/mystery. Danny Glover scared the crap out of me in this film, and up until then I'd always thought he was really nice-looking. Dennis Quaid did a fine job, as did the Texas sheriff character, and his rival. Jared Leto was just a bundle of edible hotness. And all this with a finely intricate guessing-game plot.
