Speaking of which... we're just in from Apocalypto. It was good, but not great. It wasn't as powerful a story as I expected from Gibson (rather formulaic, actually), and it wasn't nearly as bloody as I was braced for. The filming was strange - a mix of film and BBC-style beta, and the colors could be more saturated. The acting was great. Thank goodness for 'unknown' actors.
By the end I was humming Creedence's Run Through the Jungle. Just fwiw.
We'll second that; LoM was a very well done movie, acting, choreograhy, costumes, scenery, music. We saw it in a theater first; I got it on tape and most recently dvd. Was listening to the soundtrack on the way back from the range today.
