I am all ears when it comes to mexican maverick Robert Rodriguez - I just like his ideas, enthusiasm and hi-octane energy (if only his movies didn’t suck most of the time). But you’ve got to give it to this guy - he is damn versatile, from Vampire Movies, to Children’s movies (SpyKids123), to pure action movies (Desperado, OTIMexico, SinCity) to 3D movies (Sharkboy & Lavagirl). So like a buffet offering, you can really pick and choose what you want to see, he is soo quick in making movies that you can easily wait out for a better one. I was so psyched with SinCity, but didn’t even have an iota of interest in his Sharkboy & Lavagirl. Next he is shooting a double feature with Quentin Tarantino, after that he is gonna make SinCity 2 and possibly 3.

If you just overlook the content for a second, you will find his ‘art’ of moviemaking very interesting. He shoots Digital, shoots low budget, but somehow makes it look like mega big budget, shoots the whole, I mean the whole movie, in front of a green screen, shoots very very fast, his actors act for a day or 2, mostly alone, then digitally joined to the rest of the cast, scores his own music, edits his own footage, writes his material - so movie making is all a one big process for this guy - then to top it off, almost all his movies end up making money.
