This is from the website movieguide.org a Christian family-oriented (ie Conservative) site that does weekly reviews and give you the lowdown on the "questionable" content it finds in new films. It's actually a great way to spend a few hours looking at their past reviews and seeing what hilarious things they truly say. Pretty much any movie I liked, they've deemed "abhorrent". But I just wanted everybody to read this and see these awful reviews and how they always bring JC and the Bible into the picture while telling you if you found any part of the movie good you're pretty much a horrible person.Enjoy!movieguide.org: The website that believes you're going to hell if you don't agree with them.MACHETEDon’t Sit in the Seat of MockersContent:Evil, rotten, disgusting, humanist, nihilistic, Communist, politically correct, pro-revolution, pro-illegal immigration worldview with extreme Anti-Christian blasphemy and sacrilege (including a corrupt priest), racist elements, anti-white elements, anti-American, and anti-capitalist content, radical feminist elements, overt discussion of incest, and other anti-family content; 68 obscenities and 17 profanities; ultra-graphic, gory, very bloody, snuff extreme, constant violence such as gruesome decapitations, limbs severed, eye shot out, numerous gun battles, woman dresses as nun and mows down people with machine gun, man disemboweled and intestines used to rappel off building, priest nailed to a cross, torture, electrocution, etc.; extreme sex includes group sex, exhibitionism, and overt discussion of incest; extreme nudity includes full frontal female nudity; alcohol use and drunkenness; smoking cigarettes, marijuana use and selling drugs; and, very strong miscellaneous immorality includes lying, cheating, kickbacks, blackmail, betrayal, manipulation, corruption, greed, envy, reverse racism rationalized, and revenge.Summary:MACHETE is an ultra violent, extremely lewd and bloody exploitation movie about a Mexican immigrant who, working with left-wing revolutionaries, violently stops a conspiracy involving a corrupt white businessman secretly in cahoots with a Mexican drug lord who’s manipulating white vigilantes killing illegal immigrants. MACHETE is one of the worst movies ever – an ultra violent, bloody mess with extremely lewd content and a hateful, offensive, racist, Anti-American worldview.Review:If it had not been preceded by ANTICHRIST, MACHETE probably would be the worst movie ever made. Not only is it full of gruesome, despicable, extremely bloody violence, graphic nudity, extreme sex, racism, and Anti-American content, it is also very poorly acted and directed. It appears this movie was done as an intentional mocking, ultra-violent joke, but, as one actor at the screening pointed out, when actors are all told to mock something, their acting goes downhill. In fact, this should be a total embarrassment for Robert de Niro and everyone else in the movie.MACHETE starts out with Machete, a Mexican Federale, trying to rescue a young woman who has been kidnapped by an evil drug lord named Torrez. Machete fights his way into the hideout, decapitating people and cutting off their arms and legs and anything else he can slice and dice. Eventually, he finds her completely nude. She tries to seduce him and stabs him with his own machete. While he is lying there, she takes a cell phone from her private part and calls Torrez. Torrez comes in with Machete’s wife and decapitates her. Torrez decides to burn the building to kill Machete.Somehow, three years later, Machete is a migrant worker in Austin, Texas. There is a war going on between white border vigilantes and the Marxist, illegal Mexican network. The border vigilantes are led by Don Johnson, encouraged by a corrupt senator played by Robert DeNiro and financed by an incestuous businessman played by Jeff Fahey. The Communist Mexicans are led by a woman with the codename She, who uses the name Luz when she runs the migrant taco truck.Booth, the corrupt pedophile businessman who lusts after his own daughter (played by Lindsay Lohan), pays Machete $150,000 to kill the senator. Machete gives the money to the revolution. When he tries to shoot the senator, Machete finds out he was set up. Now, he is being chased, not only by Booth and his gang and Torrez but also by the corrupt police force and the border vigilantes.A U.S. immigration officer named Sartana discovers Machete’s story is true and befriends him. Machete joins Booth’s naked wife and daughter in a Jacuzzi so he can get into Booth’s house and steal his files. Looking at the files, Machete and Sartana discover Booth works with the senator, and everyone, including the Minuteman leader, is being paid by Torrez. Torrez wants to control the border so he can be the only one smuggling human beings across the border and make even more money.Machete’s brother, Padre, who used to be his gun-toting partner, is now a priest. Padre tapes the confessions, which reveal Booth’s incestuous desires for his daughter. Padre also runs guns, dope and anything else he can out of his “church,” which is a perfect cover. Armed with CDs and tapes, Machete and Sartana turn it over to the TV network, because they can’t trust the corrupt police or federal agents.Booth and his gang nail Padre to the cross and everyone mocks Jesus. Eventually, the revolution breaks out with the network of Mexican illegal immigrants fighting Booth, the senator, the Minutemen, and their henchmen.One would like to think that Robert Rodriguez, who has done such good family movies as the SPY KIDS series, was doing this as a big joke to mock everyone, including Jesus Christ. But, the Bible says in Psalm 1:1, Don’t “sit in the seat of mockers.” Also, if Rodriguez really intended to mock everyone, he failed, because the Communist revolutionaries come off as the only good guys. Rodriguez says he wanted to make a Hispanic superhero, but the backlash against this movie should be intense, and a superhero should not be the first one to kill and steal.The movie verbally makes the point that there is no law and order. America is a corrupt, miserable, horrible place. If so, why do all these Mexicans want to come here? In effect, this movie is just a racist diatribe that’s hateful for no good reason.That said, there are a couple mentions of people going to Hell, which could include everybody who made this movie. That would be unfortunate, because we have some friends in the movie, including the star Danny Trejo. Danny is the only one who does a good job of acting in this movie. Everyone else looks foolish and buffoonish, giving the movie a very sophomoric, high school, blood and gore fest look.There’s nothing sexy about the nudity and sex in MACHETE, which are extreme. Also, after the first couple minutes of violence, most people will become extremely desensitized. That said, thousands of studies show there are susceptible people such as Ted Bundy and Al Gore enamored, eco-terrorist James Jay Lee who tried to blow up the Discovery Channel in September 2010. So, some illegal immigrant may decide that every American is evil, America is corrupt and that it’s his or her job to start the revolution.Hopefully, MACHETE will fail at the box office.

whiskey199's +36I DO NOT believe in the Melting Pot. Because it does not exist and has never existed.No one has been more assimilated and rewarded by White audiences than Rodriguez. He even dates starlet Rose McGowan, or did. He made Disney Spy Kids movies, and "Shark Boy and Lava Girl," and the rest. He's both a lucrative Disney director and "edgy" and critically acclaimed partner of Tarantino. Jessica Alba is the fave of Maxim Magazine and the star of White audience movie after movie, from Fantastic Four to Sin City. Michelle Rodriguez is the star of very, very White TV show, "Lost." And gazillion movies like AVATAR. Cheech Marin was made a fabulously wealthy man by a generation of White stoners and TV fans (of Nash Bridges). All these folks are wealthy beyond belief, famous beyond belief, and adored by a White fanbase beyond belief.THIS is the movie these folks chose to make. So, no, there is no possibility of assimilation. There can't be. You shove as much wealth and fame at Rodriguez, or Alba, or Marin, all by adoring White fans, and they will call for basically, a race war to kick White Americans out of well, America. So that Mexicans can run it.IF ANYTHING, the words "we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us," applies to us Whites, who don't want to live in Mexico, but suddenly do. As Gringos. As third class (if that) folks who don't speak Spanish, don't have brown skin, are last in line not first for Affirmative Action, and every other government preference, and lose. Being turfed out by Mexicans who will indeed, always put race first.RACE ALWAYS COMES FIRST. That's just how it is. Rodriguez, Alba, Marin, and and Michelle Rodriguez prove it. The agenda of Mexicans is to make America into Mexico Norte, run by Mexicans, for Mexicans, according to Mexican cultural values, in Spanish, the way California has been turned into "Mexifornia" ala the book by Victor Davis Hanson. We'd all like to live in the bright fantasy Rainbow of the Colors of Benetton. But that's just an ad.Nobody asked me, and there was never a vote, on just WHY we should import about 40 million Mexicans, nearly all dirt poor, illiterate in two languages, with the social dysfunction common to Mexicans (drug gangs, hyper-violence, dog fighting, etc). Nor did we ever see an explanation of how America and the White majority benefits from suddenly being a discriminated minority (but one expected to provide all the wealth and taxes). Nobody asked me if I wanted California to be turned into a slightly more upscale version of Tijuana, yet there it is.We did not cross the border. The border crossed us. Putting us Whites into Mexico. As third class Gringos.I like Mexicans just fine. In Mexico. I figure I owe any and all Mexicans what they would owe me if I crossed the border illegally into Mexico. Nothing, except swift deportation back to my home country.But don't ask me to care about "Amexica" or Mexifornia. Because I don't. I owe Amexica the same allegiance that I owe Mexico: ZERO.
Joe Weldon 50p+14 Vote up Vote downJust got back from seeing Machete.I always liked Robert Rodriguez and his DIY digital self-made studio system and work ethic...until now.What a piece of sh*t. Stupid, racist, idiotic, Marxist - did I mention stupid? Mexicans are all good and hard-working and, of course, America sucks.Some good one liners, machete violence, nudity - especially Jessica Alba in the shower - I'm OK with all that. LOVED The Expendables, after all.But Jesus, if he can make this excrement, where's the conservative Robert Rodriguez?
TheHutch 64p Sadly, I never got to see Grindhouse in the theater. (I would have loved to see that film as it was meant to be seen, instead of the two separate films without fake trailers that were released on DVD.)Rodriguez' "Planet Terror" was awful except for a few moments of brilliance. The missing reel gag is pretty much the highlight...which means that if Rodriguez had been doing the film straight instead of as a salute to Grindhouse films, Planet Terror would have sucked all the way through.The politics of the film repelled me. An American army squad infects an entire town with a zombie virus in the hopes that they'll find a cure from somebody who isn't affected by the disease so that they can cure themselves. As if that horrid portrayal of the American soldier isn't bad enough: they're also a bunch of rapists.Rodriguez seems to let impulses rule over good film-making. He does a gag where the mother gives her son a gun to fend off zombies, and the kid instantly shoots himself by accident. That moment, which IS hilarious as a comment on such scenes in movies, is simply too awful and ruins the rest of the film. Rodriguez wants to have the mother go back to being eye candy for the rest of the film, but you can't get over the fact that she's just lost her son through her own actions and in real life she should be distraught and near-suicide, not showing off her legs.

And if those are successful there will be a reboot.Wanna know why its not making alot of dough, the people it caters to are the unemployed, lazy, welfare sucking parasites that have nothing to offer society but thuggery and crime, you know Obama supporters!!!!Only a liberal would praise a movie that spits on their country. You are all really sick in the head!

I think that’s why I was continually drawn to Machete over the years, I always thought of Machete as my version of Frazetta’s CONAN. In fact, I have a bronze of Machete on my desk which you’ve seen where Machete’s standing in a classic Frazetta’s CONAN pose.
I don't think the people in this movie are calling for the extermination of white people*, unless there's something I don't know about all those white guys like De Niro.
Is it mostly action, or do the story scenes take up a lot of the screen time? If the action's good, and is center stage, I'll see it
Mexican communist nationalists? Do they exist?).
and all of Latin America, then intermarried with them, and so now we have people who are mixed race.Shouldn't they be illegally invading Spain? Why the United States?We fought Mexico when we were a small power and they were a super power. We bought territory from them.What's the beef?Shouldn't they hate Spain, or themselves?Maybe that's why they are so messed up. The conquerers they hate are themselves.

Shooker66 [Moderator] 08/26/2010 06:14 AMMostly, he is right. We do have deep thinkers, but they rarely get any press and the yahoos have expanded like the universe. As for democracy, that is long gone here in the U.S.A. We have an oligarchy of the mediocre.
DownriverDem [Moderator] 08/26/2010 05:52 AMSad to say, he's righit. It all goes back to the dumbing down of our educational system starting in the 1970s. We are reaping what we have sown.How else can you explain the ignorance of so many Americans when it comes to the issues of the day? They operate on an emotional level that plays into the fear and lies of the repubs.They totally lack critical thinking skills. I find it a total embarrassment.
boutet [Moderator] 08/26/2010 04:38 AMWell, Ozawa san is correct, however having done business with Japanese nationals for decades, they themselves are quite childish (not childlike) in many ways. Just read a Japanese periodical with the obligatory color page depicting a nubile Japanese woman, much less a Japanese comic and you will understand. Americans may be the most politically ignorant people on earth but in most cases it is far better to transact business with an American than a Nihonjin.
unsean [Moderator] 08/26/2010 03:26 AMWe're not "monocellular," but come on. Just look at Tea Parties, the way we appear to be handling the situation over the Moslem cultural center being talked about in New York (I refuse to call it "Ground Zero." That term in my mind is reserved to Hiroshima and/or Nagazaki exclusively), Glenn Beck, and Fox News in general and it somewhat easy to see where he's coming from.Then again, seeing how Japan treats some of its native peoples (those individuals that live on islands like Okinawa) and the way that they like to slaughter animals like dolphins and whales for "scientific purposes" (which I always assumed was breakfast, lunch and dinner) then I suspect that he's talking out of his arse.

There's nothing genuinely political in this movie by ccr1633 4 days ago (Thu Sep 2 2010 13:31:27) Let's get real. Rodriguez is a devoted fan of the sort of 70s revenge flicks he grew up with at drive-ins. The Machete character is just an exaggerated channeling of Charles Bronson in Mr Majestyk, your classic kick ass blue collar guy who has been wronged by authorities and various underworld power brokers, who seeks bloody revenge because of it. The underlying theme about slighted immigrants is just an excuse to build scenes of glorious violence around something that could be construed as a "story." It's really incidental in my opinion. If Rodriguez could bring Charles Bronson back from the dead he would've made Charlie his star. Absent that possibility, he chose the next-best chiseled leatherface with ambiguous ethnicity on the block, Danny Trejo, and hence this film. Remember, Machete gets pissed because he is double-crossed, not because he had a particular axe to grind with the US government!
Exactly. Aside from that little mock trailer that was posted on Youtube addressing the recent legislation in Arizona (which was filmed after the movie), Machete is less a political statement and more a throwback/homage to 70s exploitation flicks. It's all in good fun.

Do the math. Instead of someone with the last name Rodriguez telling the tale of noble, sympathetic Hispanics victimized by white American southern rednecks — all of whom are portrayed as murderous racists, what if we had a white filmmaker telling the tale of noble and sympathetic Texas border ranchers victimized by marauding, racist, gold-toothed unwashed Mexicans out to steal their land? Oh, and we would close our story with a stand-up-and-cheer race war where Texas ranchers unite to violently mow down evil Mexicans.

For the record, I believe in the American melting pot. My wife was born in Mexico, English is her second language, and she didn’t become an American citizen until she was in her twenties. For that reason, and others, my family is more racially diverse than the bus passengers in “Speed.” So I guess that what I’m really trying to say is, fuck you Robert Rodriguez.
jacklarson1234 1p · 2 days agoThe film itself was simply an attack upon the American people disguised as entertainment. Much of the iconography and sloganeering coming from the side of the Mexicans is right out of reality, while the slogans and rhetoric coming from the Americans was intentionally distorted. For example, the Americans in the movie were depicted as racist brutes who view Mexicans as "cockroaches".This movie also attacks the American woman directly. (Unless we are to believe that Lindsey Lohan is a typical American woman). The message here is: American women are decadent and amoral. This stood out in sharp contrast to how the Mexican women were portrayed: as tough, powerful, wise revolutionaries. The American (white) women were lazy and relied on servants for everything, while the Mexican women could all fight, cook, kill, and outsmart the government. (I should point out that the white American men were incestuous greedy pigs, as opposed to the honorable hard working immigrants who were being oppressed.)The movie was solidly against the US Government, referred to as "The Boss." In context, a group of men who were beaten down with weed-whackers discussed whether or not to blame their attackers. They absurdly argued that they should "sympathize" with their attackers because it's not them, but "The Boss" who is the real problem. There was a constant use of peer pressure throughout the film which relates to this anti-government demagoguery. For instance, there is scene where two chefs, one Hispanic one White, are talking and the Hispanic states that he doesn't think the illegal immigrants should be granted amnesty. The White one calls the Hispanic a "p****" for not exhibiting racial loyalty to the illegal immigrants.The message is clear: If you are a Hispanic American and you aren't in favor of illegal immigration for Mexicans, then you are a "p****."The most ironic thing about the movie is that it elevates the drug cartels to a cool, "Sopranos"-esque kind of gangster clique, while presenting minutemen as immigrant murdering sociopaths. In fact, the head of the drug cartel commits an "honor suicide" at the end. (The last time I checked the headlines, it was the drug cartels who were butchering and oppressing the illegal immigrants. Where is the "honor" in that?)Some apologists will call the film "exploitation" or "just a movie" and leave it at that. However, as anyone who has studied the history of propaganda and the public relations industry knows, there is no such thing as "just a movie" when we consider demographics, timing, and context. I firmly believe in the freedom of speech and gladly paid to see the film but I would be remiss if I didn't address what is probably the most blatant and gratuitous racial agit-prop since "Birth of a Nation":
So, I'm from Mexico, saw the film , liked it and i still like USA by Second_Lives 21 hours ago (Wed Sep 8 2010 08:43:13) Ignore this User | Report Abuse ReplyUPDATED Wed Sep 8 2010 08:44:15So the whole kinda uprising of Mexicans goes out the window and the propoganda thingy of hating whitey does too...I saw the MOVIE as a MOVIE...nothing more and nothing less. Now critizing the film as Rodriguez fan and a film the movie does lose pacing halfway trough it....the climax at the end was all over the place and the ending was a letdown. However,the movie itself was filled with moments so worthy of being classics, the title sequence being one of them also the hospital scene. For every good moment in the movie there was a bad one such as Machete going over Fahey's house and getting jiggy with her wife and daughter although a classic and tremendous moment quite pointless. I may continue rambling but my point is this...this movie rocks!!!Not great, not perfect...but a solid rock em sock em mexplotation flick.P.S. This film did not offend me... I laughed at all the jokes and the exagerated ideas I just went along with it. I do not understand why people take this all too seriously. I cannot imagine what must they be going trough with their lives to post such angry and racial comments.

There was something I found offensive in it, too, but nothing serious enough to bitch about. There are too many people in the world who are always looking for something to complain about. Maybe they look for offensive things in movies and on TV because they want to find meaning in their lives.
Aren't Italians considered Hispanic? by sonwitch101Italians like Robert DeNiro, Ray Romano, the entire cast of Jersey Shore, ect. They don't look exactly white. A lot of them look short and dark, so they are not exactly anglo.
Nut Job John Nolte Confuses "The Black List" With The UntalentedSomeone sent me a rather insane screed by this guy, John Nolte, who tries to keep right-wing hope alive at "Big Hollywood," Andrew Breitbart's silly site.

From Aldamisa Productions : "The second film in the Machete trilogy finds Machete mourning the loss of his beloved Sartana, slain during a run in with the cartels. Machete is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a cartel leader, Mendez the Madman, who threatens to fire a missile on the US. Machete foils Mendez's plot only to find that the missiles are remote wired to and triggered by the madman’s still beating heart. The only man who can disarm the missile is eccentric billionaire arms dealer, Luther Voz, who has hatched a plan of his own to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space. Machete takes on Voz and his army in order to dismantle his master plan for global anarchy".Cast Danny Trejo as Machete Cortez Vanessa Hudgens as Cereza Amber Heard as Miss San Antonio[4] Sofía Vergara as Madame Desdemona[5] Demian Bichir as Mendez[6] Mel Gibson as Luther Voz[7] Jessica Alba as Sartana Rivera Michelle Rodriguez as Luz[8] Alexa Vega as KillJoy [9] Cuba Gooding Jr. as El Camaleon Zoe Saldana[10] Edward James Olmos[11] Tom Savini as Osiris Amanpour Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States[12] William Sadler[13] Electra and Elise Avellan as Nurse Mona and Nurse Lisa[8] Samuel Davis as Clebourne Edgar Arreola as Esteban Sophia Hoang as Miss Houston Heaven Elizabeth Fearn as Miss Amarillo

Speaking seriously, I do hope this sequel is an improvement over the first one. The first one was entertaining but not b-movie material; most of the movie was jokes about inmigrants with some ocassional, tame and short action scenes; Only at the final showdown the movie goes insane. Crank High Voltage was a true exploitation movie, Machete was tame in comparison but I do hope the sequel can go further.

I must admit Rodriguez is a strange one. He makes some awesome adult oriented films but his kids movies look like they're all terrible schlock! Why does he do that?
Charlie Sheen? count me in if hes gonna act like his usual self.
That's exactly what I thought too! I've never seen Crank although it's on my list of movies to see.

You know for some reason I just can't ever get into Quentin Tarantino's films I love QT's dialogue, and I love his passion for film but I just can't get into his films because they always seem to be trying too hard to come off as artistic.His partner in crime Robert Rodriquez isn't exempt from that of course. Since he did make the artfag's dream (Pretty visuals to mask what little substance the film may have.) SIN CITY. A film that many of whom (Retards mostly AKA mainstream fuckfaces who don't know dick about shit even if you shoved it down their mouth.) consider as Robert Rodriquez's masterpiece. Fucking dumb assholes I say. What about From Dusk Till Dawn? What about Desperado? Oh yeah that's right artfag's + film snobs can't stand trashy exploitation & 80's zombie/vampire film throwbacks because it supposedly doesn't give their minds thy exercise that their brains so desire.Quite comical actually considering that SIN CITY was pretty damn juvenile once you look past the unique visuals. Even Bruce Willis' original Diehardhad much deeper commentary than RR's supposed magnum opus.So what exactly am I getting at? I'm a fan of RR not because his films are brilliant masterpieces of art or what ever gay ass film snobbery you wish to dish out in attempt to come off as some highly intellectual mind of much higher stature than even Mount Olympus.Hell nah, I love RR film's because every single one of them has hot bitches, & dark comedy. Every single one. RR has one crazy ass fucked up mind and I love his films for it. Well I don't know about Spy Kids but I wouldn't be surprised if those films had hot chicks too. I mean come on, Machete is in Spy Kids.Robert Rodriguez's films are filled to the brim with so much creativity, dark comedy & style that no matter how bad a RR film may be.You can best damn be guaranteed that I'll probably love it as much as all you asstards love stroking Christopher Nolan's dick coz his films make plebeians feel much brighter than you actually are, HAHA HAHAAH AHAHAH.Which leads I to the film of the day. RR's The Faculty.A stupid ass teen slasher film written by the same fuckface who wrote Scream & Scream 2 and probably the other Screams as well. I don't know. I don't give a fuck.What I am sure of is that The Faculty wouldn't be anywhere near as campy fun without RR at the helm to direct this little guilty pleasure. The film is about parasitic aliens taking over the bodies of a school in Ohio and blah blah blah, if you already seen one of the many remakes of the "Bodysnatchers" or John Carpenter's fucktablous "The Thing" then you already know the basic set up for The Faculty. Just replace all the ugly old dudes with hot jail bait bitches as the protaganists. (Who are in their 30's as of today so Hey, They legal, they legal.)

I was expecting typical simplified leftist bullshit like Avatar.No instead what we got is a pretty well informed view of what the relations between United States and Mexico actually is like.Basically the Mexican drug cartels are in cahoots with the American government. (Expendables also did the same exact thing. Difference is Stallone views the CIA as the bigger threat and the Mexicans as completely incompetent. Rodriquez portrays the cartels & certain officials within the American government as equally corrupt.)What Fahey's character wanted is to build a berlin like wall between the borders of Mexico & the USA. Not because he wants to keep illegals out.He simply wanted to control the supply & demand of drugs in order to maximize profits. Which is true. That's exactly how shit runs in real life. I don't see how the fuck this movie could be considered Marxist trash. That's as capitalist as it fucking gets.Then again Expendables which is a throwback to Reagan era action films is also considered leftwing trash by some individuals simply because the main bad guys are the CIA.I'm shocked by Robert, I had no idea that he was this self aware about the politics of the USA. It fucking cracks me up how everybody is calling this movie anti American when in reality RR is portraying everybody as a piece of trash.

If you say or do anything that doesn't portray the USA in a positive light you're automatically labeled as Liberal commie nigger jew Socialist Marxist revisionist.What's sad is that Machete has one of the more realistic depictions of America that I've seen caught on film.This is one of the only movies out there that shows you what America actually looks like. A multicultural hell hole.This movie is not Anti White. It's not even pro Mexican.RR is simply doing what any true artist does. He holds the mirror of society straight to your fucking face and is unapologetic about the ugliness of your reflection.
