JAMIE FOXX back on the big screen!!
JARHEAD opens Nov.4th
Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows
"Swoff" (Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee,
from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting
a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through
Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat
or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the
next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves
with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert
fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy
they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom. Foxx
portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford's
scout/sniper platoon, while Sarsgaard is Swoff's friend
and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine
Unit.
An irreverent and true account of a war that was antiseptically
packaged a decade ago, Jarhead is laced with dark wit, honest
inquisition and episodes that are at once surreal and poignant,
tragic and absurd. Cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal,
Jamie Foxx, Lucas Black, Chris Cooper, Laz Alonso, Dennis
Haysbert, Sam Rockwell, Jacob Vargas. Click

Reviews |
Latest Review Additions: |
Jarhead
(in Film
)
- Entertainment value is a must in any film and that is the one area that Jarhead comes up short. It simply drags in too many places.
|
Doom
(in Film
)
- Doom is a far more accomplished film. Granted, my expectations
were extremely low, but that doesn't take away from the fact that
the filmmakers made a decent film.
|
North
Country (in Film
)
- North Country is a gripping, emotionally packed stunner of
a drama that easily contends as the best film of 2005.
|
Good
Night and Good Luck (in Film
)
- Good Night, and Good Luck is a major artistic achievement by
Clooney and easily one of the best films of 2005.
|
The
Gospel (in Film
)
- While the script and editing are flawed, “The Gospel”
is still an evening’s entertainment with heart and soul.
If anything else, the music is what will drive you to come see
this film.
|
Serenity
(in Film
)
- Funny, intelligent, and filled with a lot of action, , 'Serenity",
known as "Firefly" in TV land is as good as any sci-fi
film ever brought to the big screen.
|
Two
for the Money (in Film
)
- "Two For the Money" is a sucker's bet with a heart
of gold. With Pacino acting without restraint, you can’t
lose on this film.
|
Into
the Blue (in Film
)
- The film is chock full of pretty, physically perfect people,
but ultimately, the film ramps up and becomes a mindless yet engaging
thriller if that is possible.
|
Oliver
Twist (in Film
)
- Polanksi's masterful touch is evident in every frame of this
wonderful film. It is another grand achievement by one of film's
greatest auteurs.
|
Roll
Bounce (in Film
)
- Far from perfect, as there are several clichés within
the film, and some of the characters go undeveloped, but overall,
the film offers enough wit and charm that should please all that
come to see it.
|
Flightplan
(in Film
)
- You know what you're getting with Jodie Foster and Peter Sarsgaard,
and they don't disappoint.
