Apocalypse Now is as good as ever.
12/30/06
The movie Francis Ford Coppola never recovered from, and the last word in Ci-Nam-a.

I remember leaving the theater feeling shocked, bewildered, confused and, though I was amazed and thrilled by the action, the ending somehow left me unsettled.

Apocalypse Now is a mixed bag, a product of excess and ambition, hatched in agony and redeemed by shards of brilliance.
