First things first. We went to the new Atlantic Station theater to see the movie, and it was, as expected completely packed. Unfortunately, it was so full that we had to exchange our tickets for the 12 am show (which made it so the movie wouldn’t end until around am… Nice). The only other stitch about the theater, which was extremely nice, was the fact that it was about 90 degrees in there the entire movie, and considering it is a movie about a war in the desert, it wasn’t something that heightened the experience, it made it miserable. Luckily, that has no bearing on the actual quality of the film.
And without further distraction, my review of Jarhead. (At the risk of pissing anyone off, here is your warning that there may be some spoilers as to the nature of the story and what happens. As far as specifics, I tried to be pretty vague. Consider yourself warned!)
Interesting tidbit: If you google blogs of jake gyllenhaal, I am the #2 result. This is bound to make that stick.
