Watched Desperado. It's pretty much El Mariachi with a budget. There were some pretty good fight scenes and Antonio did a fine job, but honestly Mariachi was better. We may get around to seeing Once Upon a Time in Mexico, but there's no rush.
Whale Rider, on the other hand, is a wonderfully moving little piece about the Maori culture. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it whole-heartedly. While it follows the typical formula for a movie about the underdog hero (heroine in this case) it doesn't detract any from its impact or its worth. And the actress that plays Pai is a real gem.
