interestingly enough, i saw snake eyes (nicolas cage) last week, and
while the title credits were passing by, i saw that the score was done by
sakamoto. unfortunately, i got too wrapped up in the movie to really pay
attention to the score as anything other than a tension builder, so i
can't give any sort of review/opinion. anyone else know about this?
thanks,
alan!
