...they died. The scenes from inside the houses show that the walls and ceilings are pockmarked with shrapnel and bullet holes as well as the telltale spray of blood. But the video does not reveal the presence of any bullet holes on the outside of the houses, which may cast doubt on the Marines' contention that after the IED exploded, the Marines and the insurgents engaged in a fierce gunfight...
...when, to lighten the mood, Gibson has the crew bring out a stuffed jaguar and leads the extras running away in mock terror. But later he admits to TIME, which this month was given the first look at Apocalypto's production, that the utter inexperience of most of the cast is a price he's paying for the authentic feel he wants in the film, in which dialogue is spoken solely in Yucatec Maya. If people were imagining that Gibson, 50, might coast a little after his 2004 movie, The Passion of the Christ, inspired not only months of controversy...
Given that controversy hit his last film months before it even finished production, Gibson has been careful to build Mesoamerican goodwill for Apocalypto: two-thirds of the cast and crew are Mexican, and Gibson has donated $1 million to communities in Veracruz state affected by Hurricane Stan last year.

...cast is well led by James Loye as Frodo and Peter Howe as Sam. Brent Carver, a Tony winner for Kiss of the Spider Woman, turns Gandalf into a curious, wispy thing, with eccentric line readings and maundering instead of majesty. But Michael Therriault's Gollum is a sensation.

...darkest shows that the Loeb Experimental Theater has seen this year, “Pelican” demonstrates the futility of “sleepwalking” through life in denial of abuse. This production of “Pelican” avoids sleepwalking in any form, and the cast and crew have navigated a difficult play with aplomb, galvanizing August Strindberg’s work with energy and passion.Running from March 16-24, “Pelican” is the product of an unlikely trio. Director Rowan W. Dorin ’07 and his crew...
