Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilisation in his new film Apocalypto.
The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.
Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's insecurities to maintain power.
He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys".

Watch Superman take a bullet to the eye in what has been expressed as the final full trailer before the movies release. (Which should be seen with X-MEN in the US)

I thought I had seen all the Superman trailers, until I went and saw X-Men 3. I was kind of shocked at how much of the movie they seemed to show in this trailer. Looks like we have the whole story, unless there is some other element not being shown.
OK this is A Scanner Darkly, a new film created by the genius mind of Richard Linklater who was also at the helm of another fantastic movie called Waking Life. I'm posting the trailer for A Scanner Darkly, as well as a clip from Waking Life featuring the voice of Alex Jones.
