No connection to the mystical Mayan mumbo-jumbo, but an interesting cast. Bland story, the expected big effects.

Frost/Nixon is a damn fine movie, but it probably requires a certain kind of audience to fully appreciate it. Any monkey can see that Frank Langella (a.k.a. Sexy Dracula and Skeletor) is giving an absolutely genius performance as Tricky Dick Nixon, and that he's surrounded by equally inspired actors performing for a laid-back Ron Howard. But, y'know, if you're not into media issues and politics, and don't have a sense of the importance to American civic life of Nixon's downfall, then you might find this two-hour look at the preparation and execution of David Frost's 1977 interview with Nixon a bit slow at points.
