Movies starring Cheech Marin

Oliver & Company (1988)

74 mins Adventure , Animation, Family

So here we have Disney doing Dickens with a loose update of the classic "Oliver Twist". I say loose not just because human characters have traded places with dogs and a cat but gone is Victorian Britain and in place we are in...

The Lion King (1994)

89 mins Adventure , Animation, Drama

I've often mentioned how I prefer the old Walt Disney animations over modern animations because to me those old animations such as "Bambi" had a skill about them which even as a movie fan you could appreciate. You also get a ...

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...

Tin Cup (1996)

135 mins Comedy, Romance, Sport

I won't deny that at times I have thought that Kevin Costner is one of the worst actors about, there have been some bad movies, but placed in the realms of a sports movie with a romantic plot thrown in for good measure and he...

Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003)

Movie review "Christmas with the Kranks" � Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis star as Luther and Nora Krank who are giving Christmas a miss much to the annoyance of their friends who demand they decorate the house and do all thei...

Cars (2006)

117 mins Adventure , Animation, Comedy

I have mentioned this before but for me a good animation is one which makes me forget that I am watching an animation and gets me invested in the characters. "Cars" is one of those animations which achieves this and when I fi...

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

91 mins Adventure , Comedy

Putting things into perspective "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is a movie for children, young children who probably won't get any of the jokes but will just laugh at talking dogs and over pampered pooches. And as such "Beverly Hil...
