The hunk who played Mad Max 27 years ago wants to "shake up the stale action-adventure genre," which he feels has been taken hostage by computer-generated imagery (CGI), stock stories and shallow characters. To rattle the cage, he says, "we had to think of something utterly different." The Mad Maya hero in Apocalypto is Jaguar Paw.

...Sadie Wright-Ward, and Sam Faber, respectively. These explosive talents also catapult the Wildcats’ top-ranked power play, which converts at an amazing 30.1 percent clip. Harvard will be well served to stay out of the penalty box, and when it is whistled, will rely on the speed of its penalty kill unit to prevent New Hampshire from cycling the puck around its wide, Olympic-sized rink. “The first thing is we need to neutralize their speed,” Stone said. “They have some pretty quick forwards so we?...
