Apocalypto: Review

Barbarously beautiful and gut-wrenchingly violent, Mel Gibson's follow-up to the bloodthirsty spectacle of The Passion of the Christ is a mesmerizing vision of the Mesoamerican past refracted through the dark obsessions of the present. Rudy Youngblood stars as Yucatec Mayan hunter who attempts to save his family from a band of brutal warriors. Read the complete review for Apocalypto

Box-Office Shocker: Moviegoers Toast Mel Gibson | Today's News: Our Take | 12/11/2006
Those who said Mel Gibson would never eat lunch in Hollywood again were wrong: His Apocalypto debuted at the top of the box office this weekend with a haul of $14.2 million. That said, the self-destructive director may be having that lunch at Burger King rather than Chez Fancypants, seeing as his last hard-sell flick, The Passion of the Christ, took in $83.8 million in its opening weekend. Rounding out the top five were the Cameron Diaz/Jude Law (or Kate Winslet/Jack Black, if you prefer) date movie The Holiday (opening with $13.5 million), then Happy Feet ($12.7 mil), Casino Royale ($8.8 mil) and Leo DiCaprio's Blood Diamond (debuting with $8.5 mil).Monday's Today's News was written by Ben Katner. read more
