I just saw Lord of War the other day, probably wouldn't have gone if it wasnt for a personal recommendation from my friend. Enjoyed it more then I thought I would, visually stunning opening sequence, fast-paced and also funny, in a sort of Coen Brothers kind of way. Nick Cage is at his best, role seems tailor made for him. The story works on many levels, Jared Leto and Ethan Hawke were also good. It kept popping into my head that the film was sort of like a Goodfellas type movie except about gun-running. Overall, a definite recommendation. Ill watch it again once its out on dvd, seems to have potential to become one of my favorites.

One exciting thing to note also, I saw the Jarhead trailer for the first time, got me really excited, it looks excellent.


I dream in widescreen.
