Movie : Jarhead
Cast : Jake Gylenhall, Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, Scott MacDonald...
My View : Another war movie. Only this time, its different. The movie never touches the actual war but revolves around it. Some laughs here and there. The movie tries to depict the inside of the head of a US Scout Sniper during the Gulf War. A different perspective, draws inspiration from Born on the Forth of July, I think.
Movie : Lord of War
Cast : Nicholas Cage, Bridget Moynahan, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Eamonn Walker...
My View : The opening on the village floor laced with bullet casings is catchy. Nicholas Cage is flawless. The movie is about a Ukranian-settled-in-US guy, Yuri Orlov. And how he makes it big in the Amrs Dealing business. The various people he comes into contact with, his love, his family etc...And finally in the end what becomes of him and all others around him. A very interesting watch.

LOW was cynical in so many ways.. esp the ending. Unlike most such industry-based films.. the inherenet cynicism of big business is beautifull reflected. The final lines are the most important.. the biggest arms dealers are the permanent members of the Security Council. What can we expect ?
