A common man with ambition to spare and a fierce competition in his soul rises to rule an evil empire in this tale of money, power, and greed starring Laureano Olivares, Edgar Ramirez, and Juan David Restrepo. El Don has accomplished his goal of attaining ultimate power, but all the influence in the world means nothing when your heart is empty. Now, from his perch high above the masses, the ruthless El Don finds a forgotten love still has a hold on his blackened heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Despite its occasional lapses into silly self-consciousness, Flatliners is one of the most intriguing and well-constructed supernatural thrillers of the 1990s. A group of brilliant medical students decide to literally play with life and death. They put themselves in suspended animation, electronically inducing a near-deathlike state and then pulling out of it at the last possible moment. Things get hairy when one of the students (Kiefer Sutherland) becomes obsessed with the notion of really dying, the better to experience the Afterlife before being revived--if he can be revived. In her first dramatic starring role (playing a sensitive young lady on a misguided guilt trip), Julia Roberts is very, very good--completely bereft of movie-star mannerisms. Audiences flocked to see Flatliners back in 1990 due to the highly publicized off-screen romance between Roberts and Sutherland. Oh, yes: Kevin Bacon and William Baldwin are in the picture, too. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An all-star cast of popular Mexican comics appears in this uneven sex comedy. A wife paints a nude picture of her husband who suspects infidelity when he is not portrayed as being anatomically correct. A veterinarian becomes obsessed over a beautiful showgirl, and the devil emerges from hell to enjoy the earthly pleasures of bar hopping. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

This romantic comedy is based on a true story that happened in California in 1944. Sonny Wisecarver (Patrick Dempsey) is 15 year old who has an affair with his older neighbor Judy (Talia Balsam). The two run off and get married, but a stern judge has the union annulled. Sonny is hauled before the same judge when he gets involved with another older woman (Beverly D'Angelo), and the publicity makes him the object of affection for millions of young women who believe Sonny has something special. Michael Constantine and Betty Jinnett play Sonny's concerned parents. Carl Reiner is the uncredited narrator, and the real-life Elliott "Sonny" Wisecarver has a cameo appearance as a mailman. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

This entertaining entry in the long-running Mexican fantasy series stars Gina Romand as Frankenstein's daughter, who remains eternally youthful thanks to the blood of young virgins. She's also a mad scientist who mummifies her own aunt (Lucy Gallardo), creates a Frankenstein-like monster called Ursus, and uses a gorilla-like henchman to try draining the superhuman blood of Santo (Rodolfo Guzman Huerta). The heroic, masked wrestler must team up with the hulking, disgruntled Ursus to foil her evil plans. Roberto Canedo co-stars with Carlos Suarez, Carlos Agosti, and Gerardo Zepeda. Director Miguel M. Delgado would contribute several films to the Santo series, including the same year's monster-mash Santo y Blue Demon contra Dracula y el Hombre Lobo. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Cantinflas, known the world around for his Jerry Lewis-style antics, seems more like Peter Sellers in this hilarious Mexican comedy. Short on plot but long on laughs, the innocent comedian falls victim to excellently contrived cliches as a special delivery man caught in the middle of intrigue and spies. Cantinflas also expands into singing and dancing opportunities. The film also features a spectacular Latin dance sequence by Rafael de Cordoba. ~ Lucinda Ramsey, All Movie Guide

In this fairly effective matrimonial farce by director Miguel M. Delgado a couple of newlyweds are having a difficult time settling down to an idyllic honeymoon. They have too much to argue about. Ana Luisa Pelufo plays the distaff side of the battling duo, and Mauricio Garces is cast in the role of her husband/opponent. As sure as night follows day, these two lovers are certain to get over their differences and patch it up -- but will that take the entire honeymoon to accomplish? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

With the kind of down-home humor (south of the border style) that appeals to many people around the world, this bedroom farce by Miguel M. Delgado has several hilarious moments. The premise is ancient: a poor mechanic is conned into taking the place of a wealthy business magnate so the rich man can take off to work on some major wheeling and dealing. Sure enough, the impostor is trapped in a series of circumstances beyond his control that lead him right to the altar. Once he is wed -- or rather, once the rich businessman is unknowingly wed by proxy, the tycoon returns from his trip with the subsequent surprises in store for all concerned. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
