Movie Notes for "Apocalypto"

This is the longest I've gone without going to the movies in a very long time (more than two weeks!) My stress level was at a breaking point and I was so depresed, I never needed a movie more. But I finally caught Mel Gibson's Apocalypto on Sunday. I don't care what Mel has done, I believe he is a crazy bastard anyway, but he is also one hell of a filmmaker. Apocalypto offers what I like best about movies, it takes you places unimagineable. This ancient world was mesmerizing and wonderful. The cinematography was wonderful. This is a man who makes movies as if he would never get the chance to make them again. He puts everything into it, and the result is fantastic.
