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!
