Apocalypto (2006)
I was pleasantly surprised with the movie. I guess I was expecting a ’serious’ movie along the line of ‘The Passion of the Christ’. While the movie is a drama, it is not nearly as heavy. The main positive of the movie is that it started with a good story. It is a story that could [...]

Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard carry this story of loss and revenge. All in all, it was a good movie and made you think of what you might do in a similar situation. My only problem with the movie was the pacing. I understand character development as well as anyone, but the [...]

I have already received a couple of comments that exhibit how quickly the comments will turn to an ID debate, not a reasonable discussion of [...]
