Movies starring Salma Hayek

Desperado (1995)

103 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

"Desperado" is the 1995, bigger budget follow up to Robert Rodriguez's earlier movie "El Mariachi". I say bigger budget, as with just $7,000,000 dollars in the coffers it was significantly more than the shoe string budget Rod...

Ask the Dust (1996)

117 mins     Drama, Romance      

Within minutes of "Ask the Dust" I was struggling for the simple reason it felt forced, a movie trying to be something but never feeling natural. From the narration to the camera work everything felt constructed and forced an...

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

108 mins     Action , Crime, Horror      

Salma Hayek as a stripper, doing an incredibly sexy dance is one of my many memories from the first time I watched "From Dusk Till Dawn" and whilst I have watched it many times since and it features many other memorable scene...

Fools Rush In (1997)

109 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Boy meets girl, they fall in love, boy cocks up and then has to beg girl back, it's that familiar old storyline which is a staple of so many romantic comedies and forms the basis of "Fools Rush In" starring Matthew Perry and ...

The Faculty (1998)

104 mins     Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi      

If I told you that the screenplay for "The Faculty" was written by Kevin Williamson you might know what to expect as Kevin Williamson wrote the screenplays for "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer". But whilst "The F...

Wild Wild West (1999)

106 mins     Action , Comedy, Sci-Fi, Western      

Can you imagine Vanilla Ice playing the Lone Range or Eminem playing Rooster Cogburn, it just doesn't work as is the case when one time rapper, now major movie star, Will Smith dons the Stetson and spurs for the much misguide...

Dogma (1999)

130 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Fantasy      

Kevin Smith's "Dogma" is a movie which caused controversy and I can see why because at its heart is religion. Now the thing is is "Dogma" mocking religion and being disrespectful or is it being insightful in what it says abou...

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

102 mins     Action , Thriller      

In a way "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" is the perfect example of what is wrong with modern cinema. Here we have a movie which looks good, has stylish action, comedy infused violence and star power but the actual story, well it...

After the Sunset (2004)

97 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

"After the Sunset" feels like someone watched Pierce Brosnan in "The Thomas Crown Affair" and enjoyed watching him play a sexy, charismatic thief and decided that he would be perfect for playing a similar role but in a sexy c...

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)

109 mins     Action , Adventure , Fantasy      

When I was a teenager back in the 80s we had vampire movies but unlike to today's vampire movies they obeyed by the rules; vampires came out at night, had fangs, bit necks and did not dig crosses. But times have changed and s...

Grown Ups (2010)

102 mins     Comedy      

Whilst I love a movie which is original and makes you sit up and pay attention I also love the familiar, the sort of movie which you put on and you know it isn't going to tax you with a storyline which is going to demand your...

Puss in Boots (2011)

90 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

I would have loved to have been in the offices when they were discussing what they could do next with their golden goose, I mean the "Shrek" franchise. I say that because they must have known that they had a product with furt...

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012)

88 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

If I made a list of all the things I expected from a movie made by Aardman Animations then "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!" would tick all of the boxes. There is the very fine stop motion work which actually ta...

131 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Savages - Two Cali drug dealers stage a high tech war on a Cartel when they hold their girlfriend hostage...

Grown Ups 2 (2013)

101 mins     Comedy      

I was quite complimentary about the first "Grown Ups" and I am surprised by how much I still like that movie. Sadly I cannot say the same about the sequel which feels like someone decided to cash in on the popularity of the f...

Everly (2014)

92 mins     Action , Thriller      

I reckon writer and director Joe Lynch is the sort of man who keeps a little black book with him the whole time in which he writes down ideas he has for various action scenes. But he doesn't just have ideas he can picture the...
