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, Rovi

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, Rovi

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, Rovi

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, Rovi

When a Latino pimp messes with the Mafia, he finds himself in a dangerous situation. Dialogue is in Spanish. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

Masked wrestling champion and occasional crime fighter El Santo once again saves Mexico from the ravages of undying monsters in this blend of grappling and horror. El Santo is challenged to a match by fellow wrestler El Angel Blanco, and while the great fighter is busy in the ring, two legendary monsters -- the vampire Dracula (Aldo Monti) and a werewolf named Rufus Rex (Agustin Martinez Solares) -- are brought back to life by his enemies. As the monsters roam free and threaten the life of El Santo's closest friends, he teams up with fellow wrestling icon Blue Demon to vanquish the creatures once and for all. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This situation comedy finds a court-appointed attorney representing the poor and downtrodden of Mexico City against the Establishment. Justo (Cantinflas) is the dedicated lawyer who encounters a diverse and hilarious clientele. With the help of his secretary Angelica (Lupita Ferrer), in court and in bed, he fights for the rights of the underprivileged against the elite. Justo also falls for a pretty chorus girl (Susana Salvat) who is more than willing to express her amorous appreciation to her defender. This is an excellent comedy vehicle for Cantinflas, an adored comedian in the Spanish-speaking world. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

The beloved Mexican comedian Cantinflas stars in this satiric comedy which pokes fun at the power struggles of international politics. Lopitos (Cantinflas) is a humble but loyal citizen of the nation of Los Cocos, who holds down a job in the country's embassy, helping to process and distribute visas. Through a series of comical errors, Lopitos is named the ambassador of Los Cocos to a powerful international tribunal, where the nations of the world have either lined up behind the "Green" nations, led by the capitalist leader of Dolaronia (Jack Kelly), or the "Red" countries, whose figurehead is the prime minister of socialist Pepeslavia (Tito Rush). With the votes divided evenly between the Red and Green factions, it becomes clear that Lopitos' vote will sway the balance of political power around the world -- which makes simple Lopitos a very popular and powerful man. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

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, Rovi

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, Rovi
