...film’s cinematographer and editor, Slawomir Idziak and Mark Day, get the credit for smoothing over what could have been unsightly scars by proving the old adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Throw film composer Nicholas Hooper into that category, too, for his deeply felt (if occasionally intrusive) score. Their technique of nipping excess plot from denser portions of the film and grafting them onto thinner places is an ingenious way to make even dramatic edits blend right...
...year since the Shi'ite group provoked a 34-day war with Israel that left more than a thousand dead and large parts of Lebanon in ruins, Hizballah is rearming. Interviews with Hizballah officials and fighters and other Lebanese close to the party show that the group's battle-hardened military wing is stockpiling weapons, digging positions and training new fighters - despite resolutions passed by the U.N.

Great big, brown mushroom clouds of fun for the whole family...

His appearance had changed, but, he wrote on his website, "I still have my brain and my typing fingers...
