Few television programs, Hispanic-language or otherwise, have managed to experience such an enduring level of success as Siempre En Domingo. A small-screen staple across three continents since 1969, this Latin American sensation has been compared to such popular English-language programs as The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show, and host Raul Velasco has been at the forefront of the program since the very beginning. In this release, fans can re-live some of their favorite moments from Siempre En Domingo as they view a nostalgic stream of highlights featuring such popular celebrities as Juan Gabriel, Jose Jose, Luis Miguel, and Yuri. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this fugitive spree, the fleeing fellow gets angrier and angrier (and tired of the chase) when a little romance comes his way. ~ Rovi

Twenty years ago, Juan witnessed his father's death in a smuggling operation across the U.S. border and knows that he was obviously lured to his death in a plot concocted by Rojas, his father's partner, in collusion with an American policeman. These days, Juan is a successful gun-runner, and things are fine until he hears that Rojas is still around and is doing better than ever, having moved to Durango. He decides to go to where his father's treacherous partner now lives and even the score a bit. Along the way, he encounters others whose lives have been harmed by Rojas, and they aid him in his efforts. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this genial lowbrow comedy, Felemón and Moyer are two good buddies who share a passion for soccer, and for each other's women. Felemón's two curvaceous daughters run around wearing incredibly revealing miniskirts, while Moyer's wife is the apple of Felemón's eye. Things get really confusing when Felemón wins big in the soccer pools and the party to celebrate gets hopping. This somewhat directionless comedy features large doses of mariachi, salsa and ranchero music. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

A traveling tent show accused of being a risque cabaret is the focus of this comedy. Chief Junior (Alfonso Zayas) is the wicked land developer who tries to run the show out of town. Sexual innuendo, sight gags, and bathroom humor dominates this low-budget feature. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

In this Mexican horror movie a scary bloodsucker is loose on the streets of contemporary Mexico and he is trying to con a young woman out of her family fortune. He first tries by charming the girl's vulnerable aunt. Later he buries the girl alive. Thankfully she is saved and soon someone drives a stake through the evil human leech's heart. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The Living Coffin is a Mexican filmization of that old Edgar Allan Poe standby The Premature Burial. A seriously ill woman is terrified that she'll be buried while in a comatose state. To avoid this contingency, she has an alarm installed inside her coffin (indicating that someone involved with this film had seen the 1931 Paramount chiller Murder by the Clock). It comes to pass that the woman is indeed declared dead, planted six feet under, and.....hoo hoo hah hah HAAAAH! The legendary B-flick showman/huckster K. Gordon Murray filmed The Living Coffin in 1958 under the title El Grito de la Muerte; it didn't make the American rounds until 1965 (talk about rising from the dead!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This grisly Mexican horror film details the attempts of the chief doctor at a sanitarium to contact the spirit of his former partner -- a man executed for a murder he didn't commit -- through a psychic medium. The doc soon regrets his decision when the deceased doctor's soul imposes itself on the land of the living, re-animating the horribly-mutilated corpse of his former assistant, who was burned to death by acid. The ghoulish, violin-playing attendant challenges the doctor for the attention of the new nurse, who had recently come to the hospital to collect an inheritance and wound up staying aboard. Sadly for her, the zombie's method of expressing his affection involves making her look as gruesome as he does. As with most of the horror films of director Fernando Mendez, this is stylishly shot but practically impossible to follow. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

When a mysterious stranger on horseback rides into town and the superstitious locals begin to talk of a legendary gunfighter with the speed to outdraw even the fastest hand, it appears as if the undertaker is about to put in some overtime in this tense Mexican western directed by Chano Urueta and starring Luis Aguilar. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
