Nicholas Cage - Lord of War

Lord of War caught me by surprise. I have no idea why (or when) I downloaded it but as soon as I saw it was Nicholas Cage I imagined it wouldn't last two minutes.

Here's why

Nicholas Cage is playing Nicholas Cage. Here he is suitably skilled to play a paedophile arms dealer whereas his attempts elsewhere to play an heroic dirty cop are just too tedious.

Jared Leto & Ethan Hawke are in this movie too. Jared is not a very believable character but that's more down to the writing than anything. Ethan Hawke does a better job given his role is more stereotypical good cop. 

A cheesy number given most cops are either stupid, or corrupt. A small handful being neither.

Kubrick & The Power Elite

Not a bad Eyes Wide Shut themed documentary at all from a French Film maker examining Stanley Kubrick. 

Not all of the conclusions are mine too, but in broad terms the maker is well informed and adds a few nuggets of information I've not seen in the English language productions.

Vivian Kubrick Interviewed by Alex Jones

Sorry about the GIF image but it's so spooky how close Vivian Kubrick resembles the female lead, Shelley Duvall in her Dad's movie, The Shining. Vivian connects immediately to all awake and aware people in this awesome interview.

She also confirms that her father was very aware of the powerful forces that manipulate society. Please click on the Kubrick tag below to see what that is all about.

I urge you to watch this interview and I salute Vivian for talking to Alex Jones who can be a tad tricky to handle. She comes across as very nice, very switched on and very likeable.
