Machete, what a cheesy good time

I have not posted here before, so long time listener, first time caller so bear with me please.

First as a child of the 70's, I really dig,
(70's slang), these type of movies. But this one is so over the top, I wanted to share about.

Casting was brillant, you get the Robert Rodriguez regulars; Danny Trejo, Cheech Martin and Gilbert Trejo; but then it gets really interesting by just adding more cheese....

Steven Segal: Mexican Drug Lord with a Samurai sword
Don Johnson: Redneck border vigilante
Jessica Alba: can't act but easy on the eyes as most imagration agents are, I am pretty sure about that
Jeff Fahey: Lawnmower Man gone Mexican
Michelle Rodriguez: Bad ass Latino Chick, there's a stretch
Robert DeNiro: Raging Bored, but having fun
Lindsay Lohan: (my personal favorite) Drug using, rich whore with a website. Then wrap her up in a Nuns Habit after the majority of her scenes she is naked.

Yes, the blood and gore are way over done to the point of comic torture, Kill Bill like. Still entertaining if that stuff does not bother you.

Highlights for me:
Opening rescue scene the girl being rescued, (naked of course), pulls a cell phone out of her cooch.
Intestines being used as a zip line
Lindsay Lohan being picked up by her Father at a Meth Lab
The idea of an electric border fence between Mexico and the US
A video camera in the Confessional Booth, raised Catholic, thats funny
Final scene the "Mexican Army" roles in driving low riders and choppers

So, if you like extra cheese with your movies, this one is aged cheddar. Shame on me for enjoying it so much.
