Marc: This week director Robert Rodriguez returns with his latest, "Once Upon a Time in Mexico."

Marc: I agree.The plot is so muddled that even attempting to unravel all of the double-crosses is going to make your head hurt.Didn't we estimate there are at least eleven different plot threads?Rodriguez does a pretty serviceable job of tying them all up, but you really get the feeling that he's rushing himself to come to some sort of conclusion.

Marc: Rodriguez deserves all the praise in the world for what he did with digital video.The way he segues from a "Spy Kids" sequel to this just blows my mind.
