"Apocalypto"
Mel Gibson's latest pretends to care about the fall of man, but it really only wants to impale, flay, disfigure and torture him. Sound familiar?
By Andrew O'Hehir [2006-12-08]

  • Lord of the Flies?

    Haven't seen the movie, but O'Hehir's description of "island" chaos (yeah, I know Yucatan isn't an island), violent savages chasing a lone male figure through the jungle, "civilizing" ships appearing on the beach just at that moment, totally reminded me of Lord of the Flies. I'll watch the movie just to see if this is partly a commentary on that book.
