Depp steals show in Leone homage

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Entertainment Writer

Simultaneously an homage to Sergio Leone's Westerns and a goofy send-up of them, "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" might be the best film Robert Rodriguez has ever made.

It's definitely the best film he's made in a while. While the original "Spy Kids" was a giddy roller-coaster ride in 2001, the two subsequent installments have grown increasingly bombastic, especially this summer's "Spy Kids 3-D."

ONCE UPON A TIME
IN MEXICO

Director: Robert Rodriguez

Cast: Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, Salma Hayek, Willem Dafoe
