Spy Kids

FamilyActionComedyAdventureScience Fiction

Directed by Robert Rodriguez

Carmen and Juni think their parents are boring. Little do they know that in their day, Gregorio and Ingrid Cortez were the top secret agents from their respective countries. They gave up that life to raise their children. Now, the disappearances of several of their old colleagues forces the Cortez' return from retirement. What they didn't count on was Carmen and Juni joining the "family business." From TMDB

    A fun commercial Sci Fi horror movie, full of current and future movie stars. It's funny to see how Rodriguez followed up his previous work with this, then slid even deeper into mainstream with Spy Kids. He's redeemed himself since, to a degree. #filmsky #horror #physicalmedia

    Film peaked when Spy Kids 4D came out with those scratch and sniff cards that they passed out to the audience. You might be saying “that’s a lazy 2000’s gimmick,” but imagine being able to get that much more immersed in “Nosferatu” by being able to smell the most rancid-looking man on screen!

    I'd argue that Rodriguez directed Machete within the Spy Kids Cinematic Universe. The first Spy Kids film came out in 2001. The kids' Uncle Machete got his much-deserved spinoff movie in 2010. Either way, this family saga is one of my favorite things too.

    > Spy Kids: All Grown Up > > Synopsis: The spy kids from the previous movies are now grown ups, however they need to take on another mission together to stop the evil Sam Altman from making the world stupid, so that he can sell people intelligence in the form of artificial intelligence. It is quickly revealed that Sam Altman himself is a robot (hence the name **Alt**man), and wishes to enslave humanity for the robot race.
