I might be inclined to agree with you on the visuals, however I'm part Jewish and can't stand that anti-semitic twat Gibson.

Managed to watch Y Tu Mama Tambien the other day. Really enjoyed it. Planning on watching a brazilian film called Lower City quite soon. Meant to be quite similar to Y Tu Mama Tambien except replace pourly mexican girl with brazilian prostitute and replace teenage mexican lads with grown brazilians with guns n shit. Replace tranquil mexico with warzone Brazil. Ingredients for a classic.

Watched Cold Prey the other day too. Was very decent slasher movie from Norway i think.

Also watched The Chaser last night about an ex detective turned pimp (best career move ever) chasing a serial killer who is killing his 'bitches'
Was top quality. Hollywood are doing a remake this year i think but they'll no doubt ruin it.

Also watched Apocolypto last week. All i can say is 'meh' could have been better. Visually good though.
