The beauty of Pat's gold and black coat has inspired human artists. When Nancy Kennedy of Mequon showed Pat's picture to Sam Hill, president of Rohr Jewelers in Milwaukee, the patterns on the big cat's coat moved him. He contacted, Sekikazu, a Japanese jewelry designer who has used the jaguar's coat pattern in past designs. That resulted in a new necklace honoring Pat designed by Sekikazu, featuring the outline of two hearts. "The center heart has a jaguar pattern and the other heart goes around it, The thought is: 'Man helping the jaguar,' " says Hill. The $300 necklace is engraved with Pat's name, and Rohr donates some of the funds from the necklace's sale to international jaguar conservation.
There's a shot about midway through MeI Gibson's APOCALYPTO that relies on the slightest movement of a character in the far-off distance. Lesser directors · would have gone for an easy intercut, but Gibson stays long and takes in a vast panorama of nature, trusting his camera to deliver the goods at the critical moment - a stylistic feat Roman Polanski was renowned for at his peak. Thus continues the meteoric rise in talent of a direc tor Tarantino called "divinely visited" in his Passion of the Christ, here going for a bloodand-guts Mayan epic of pillageand human sacrifice that at first blush would seem miles removed from Gibson's religious preoccupations. In fact it's impossible to watch Apocalypto without reading volumes into every wounded side and forced march. But the film Is a sta...

Apocalypto, epic armageddo-adventuro, rated R, in Mayan with subtitles, UA DeVargas, 988-2775, 3 chiles Apocalypto is the story of Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood), a Mayan who winds up on the wrong end of a human-sacrifice ritual and attempts escape. Without name actors to sell the picture, director Mel Gibson has taken it upon himself to personally sell it by describing the premise in the television ads. That makes it very easy to associate the film with The Passion of Christ, and there are claims that Gibson exaggerated the brutality of Mayan sacrifice rituals -- perhaps to show how savage they were before Christ's followers saved them.

In stores today: APOCALYPTO (2006, Buena Vista, R, $30) Set in the 1500s during the waning days of the Mayan Empire, Mel Gibson's savage pulse- pounder tells a remarkable story of human survival almost exclusively through the use of visual imagery. At the center of the tale is Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood), a peaceful villager who is brutally kidnapped by his fellow Mayans. His determination to rejoin his wife and child gives "Apocalypto" the immediacy of a classic action film. Extras: featurette, deleted scene and Gibson commentary.
Mel Gibson has become quite notorious for making movies that revolve around characters being tortured and mutilated. There's no denying Gibson's skills as a director, which seem to surpass his ability to act. However, it seems that in nearly every scene, a character is getting his head lopped off, or being impaled by a spear. While he effectively uses violence in Braveheart and in The Passion of The Christ, it seems as if in , his fourth film as director, the violence exists for no real purpose, except to make the movie more action packed.

While the movie was written entirely in the Yucatec language and translated into English through subtitles, it doesn't detract from the story at all. rev...
