There's a lot of crap coming out of everywhere. And, some good thrown in once in awhile. For example, the Mexican film above, Rezien Cazado, was very well done. But, my Mexican friends say that Mexican movies are almost universally sheisse and drek. (First time I've ever used those words in print. Spelled right?)

As an aside, can I admit that I sometimes watch Mexican game shows? (I understand taco and burrito, those two Spanish words.)

Well...Sheisse is german.....and I'm Dutch....but I think you spelled that right.

One of my favourite non-english films is "El laberinto del fauno" or Pans Labirynth (darn my spelling today).
