As her career matured into the 2010s, Hayek worked consistently, moving easily between voice work in animated features, acclaimed indies like "Beatriz at Dinner" (2017), comedies like "Grown Ups" (2010), and popcorn thrillers like "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017). However, it was her instincts as producer and director which earned consistent accolades. Hayek valiantly tried to translate both her looks and intelligence into worthy film roles with varying degrees of success. She went on to earn significant respect for executive producing the ABC comedy "Ugly Betty" (2006-10), which she helped adapt from its original format as a daily Columbian soap, and earned a Daytime Emmy for directing the family film "The Maldonado Miracle" (2003) for Showtime. Among her biggest box office hits was a leading role in the Will Smith summer blockbuster "Wild Wild West" (1999), though her most acclaimed performance was her Academy Award-nominated starring role as Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in "Frida" (2002), which Hayek, as producer, worked for years to bring to the big screen. Spokesmodel work for cosmetics companies further banked on her hourglass figure and smoldering on-screen charisma, but Hayek proved to have far bigger ambitions than to be another piece of Hollywood eye candy.
SALMA HAYEK DUSK TILL DAWN VIDEO MOVIE
A favorite of the film's renegade writer-director Robert Rodriguez, the former telenovela star from Mexico gained a foothold in the American movie business in independent film and as a favorite on men's magazines "Sexiest" lists.
On top of that, it has a hella-cool biker-bar soundtrack and Salma Hayek in a bikini.Salma Hayek first hit stateside cineplexes as the border town bookseller who romances Antonio Banderas' vengeful "mariachi" in "Desperado" (1995). The tough guy dialog continues throughout, the gore level is astounding, and we see via Kate- the preacher's daughter, played by Juliette Lewis- that sometimes a p***ed-off virgin with a crossbow can more than hold her own. All of this can- and *will*, given the right attitude on the part of the viewers- read as a loving high-five to 70s zombie flicks, a homage to the campy fun of those movies. Out of nowhere, it becomes all too clear that these two bad, bad men are not by a longshot the baddest in *this* bar. It's humming along like a typical Tarantino picture, and then- BOOM. From there it takes a turn that many seem to find infuriating but I personally find highly entertaining. They're supposed to meet a partner at a bar called The Titty Twister, and once they get there madness ensues.
Along the way they pick up a preacher played by Harvey Keitel and his two kids. George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino are the Gecko brothers, two bad, bad men on their way to Mexico. Anyone trying to do a 'serious review' of this movie needs to lighten up.
