Dead In Tombstone VS Machete

Since there is a new Machete flick coming out, I thought it would be appropriate to have an old school battle between two Danny Trejo movies:

      VS.  
Dead in Tombstone: 2013: +-: Act:  Danny Trejo has a face only a mother can love, and probably only after a few shots of tequila. Notwithstanding, this is a definitely a future, cult hit that borrows from many ideas and images.  Does it add anything new to the premise or is it just a few new characters that "spice" up the premise of a Western?

I was surprised to see that Robert Rodriguez wasn't the director, as he was in past Danny movies, such as Machete.  Roel Reine does a decent job in this Western and adds some stylistic elements which set this movie apart from a dying genre.  Maybe it's dying for a reason though.  Past Westerns lately have flopped and maybe it's because the audience is not typically interested in this anymore. The idea of horses, trains, six shooters, etc. may be taking the way of the title of this movie.  

However, there were some elements that made this movie a typical Danny Trejo movie and it didn't bore me to death.  More like bore me to a nice nap.  I thought the emphasis on time was original and the CGI elements were a nice touch.

Micky Rourke is in it and plays an interesting character, as the devil who gives Danny another chance.  He has to, guess what, kill his old crew and avenge his death...YAWN..Again, there were some gruesome killing scenes in this, but I couldn't help but thinking that this movie was done before, and the actors were just substituted.  I will have to add that the actress in this movie was very good and did a great job.  Hell, she kept me interested, it certainly wasn't Danny's good skin.  Dina Meyer is talented and should be used more often.  

The music by Hybrid was decent and I enjoyed it.  Overall, this movie has some scenes that are stand outs like in the mine, where he goes up the stairs on a horse and when he uses the mini-gun.  Other than that, probably a movie that should "keep it moving".:::::68%

Machete:  2010: ++: ACT:  It's interesting to see how two different movies can vary so much with the same actor.  From the very beginning, this movie had style, panache, and a serious attitude. That's because Robert Rodriguez directed it.  No doubt about that.

He captures the element of Machete to a tee and Danny Trejo hit on all cylinders.  Plus Jessica Alba is in it, as well as Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez.  This movie has so many cameos, it makes you wonder why it is only considered a cult hit.  Did I mention that 
Don Johnson, Cheech, and Lindsey Lohan are in it?  No, but they are.  

Stand out scenes are the ending with the modified cars, when Cheech takes revenge and says, "God Forgives, I don't!", when Lindsey Lohan is in the pool and when Machete puts the mini-gun on the motorcycle.  I also loved the sex scene and when the egg gets cooked on the hot floor.  PLEASE watch this awesome, gritty, exteremely violeny action movie..I don't need to spend a lot of time on this movie...Watch it...you won't regret it::::89%

Machete wins HANDS DOWN.  Can't wait for Machete 2!!!
