Enrique Iglesias Movies
One of the most wildly successful pop singers of the early 21st century, Enrique Iglesias -- the son of crooner Julio Iglesias -- shot to fame on the basis of his self-titled debut album in 1995, and subsequently issued a string of follow-ups that netted even more formidable success, selling millions of copies around the globe. Iglesias' music mirrored the recordings of his father on many levels by showcasing an interwoven string of European, American, and Hispanic influences. In terms of filmed dramatic entertainment, Iglesias took his premier feature bow with a supporting role in the Robert Rodriguez actioner Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003). In 2007, he guest-starred on episodes of the popular CBS sitcoms Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother. He also appeared that year as himself in an episode of the daytime drama The Young and the Restless, performing a track from his latest album in a fictional club on the show. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Director Robert Rodriguez returns to the characters of his breakthrough hits El Mariachi and Desperado in this grand scale south-of-the-border action-adventure saga. Sands (Johnny Depp) is a rogue CIA agent who is working in cahoots with Mexican officials who've caught wind of a plan by corrupt military leader General Marquez (Gerardo Vigil) and ruthless drug kingpin Barillo (Willem Dafoe) to assassinate Mexico's president (Pedro Armendáriz Jr.). Sands needs to recruit a gunman to take out Barillo's assassins before they can complete their mission, and through barman Belini (Cheech Marin), Sands learns of El Mariachi (Antonio Banderas), a fabled musician turned vigilante with a remarkable talent for violence, and a score to settle with Marquez. El Mariachi is living quietly in hiding after the death of the woman he loved, Carolina (Salma Hayek), but Sands lures him back into action through the promise of a final showdown with his nemesis Marquez, forcing El Mariachi to retrieve his guitar case (containing a mighty arsenal) and once again do battle against the lawless. Robert Rodriguez not only directed Once Upon a Time in Mexico, but he wrote the screenplay, handled the camera work, edited the film, and composed the musical score. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
