Show life MONDAY* NOVEMBER 7-2005 B3 mono reuiieui/ Jarhead portrays Gulf War experience Luke Hickman Movie Editor War. What a controversial topic! You can't mention it without everyone wanting to put in his or her two cents. Is it right? Is it wrong? Is it justifiable? Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) has found a way to tell a war story, omitting opinions for facts. Jarhead follows the experiences of a group Photo courtesy of Universal Peter Sarsgaard stars in the war drama by Sam Mendes. of Marines (also known as Jarheads) through basic training and into combat during Operation Desert storm in the early 90's. The main focus stays on Tony Swofford (played by The Day After Tomorrow and Donnie Darko star Jake Gyllenhaal), a scout sniper who kicks himself because he ''got lost on the way to college" and ended up in the Marines. Jarhead is not so much a film about war, but the psychological effects that the tension of war can create on our troops: the worry of what's going on at home, what war will be like, and how to stop yourself from going crazy. Mendes has set a tone that will make you understand every aspect of the armed forc- es. There's the guy who doesn't want to be there, the guy who wants to find his purpose for being there, and even the guy who loves being there. In Jarhead you comprehend and understand the feelings of them all. Instead of taking a side on the politics of what happened in Iraq in the early 90's, Mendes shows us both sides and teaches us that we need to back up whatever it is that our nation does. One character says, "[Screw] the politics. We're here and all the rest is [bull]." If it were not for Mendes and a collectively great crew, Jarhead would not be the powerful product that we see. Gyllenhaal gives his best performance yet. Co-stars Peter Sarsgaard (Flightplan, Garden State) and Jamie Foxx (Ray) also give outstanding performances. The music throughout Jarhead is exactly what you would* ve heard at that time and fits the mood perfectly. The cinematography and visual Jarhead directed shots, though of disturbing and ugly things, are beautiful and perfect. All of these elements combined make this movie worthy of award nominations. In speaking with those who have or are currently serving in our armed forces, Jarhead is dead-on with the reality of what it's like to be "over there". The challenges and relationships match up perfectly with the reality our men are seeing right now. According to them, if you want to know what it means to serve our country, then definitely see Jarhead. You'll leave grateful for anyone who serves this nation. Jarhead is rated R for pervasive language, some violent images and strong sexual content. clos/ifiecl/ - 863-8688 help wanted Nannies Unlimited jGreat Jobs. Nation Wide - Out of Slate.

A gloomy forecast Luke Hickman Movie Editor Yet another director who thought he had the notoriety to do whatever he wanted has done something bad. Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring) has tried to mold an artistic masterpiece with The Weatherman, but ends up with a jumbled mess. Nicholas Cage plays David Spritz, a depressed and picked-on weatherman who's trying to piece his crumbling family life back together. At the same time, he's trying to make his dying father (Michael Cane) proud of his accomplishments. Cage's performance is great. I can't argue with that. But, believe it or not, the problem for me was with Michael Cane, whose performance lacks believability. Unable to hide his English accent, his voice comes off as odd an unnatural. I felt distracted the entire time he was on screen. In my opinion, Verbinski tried adding too much symbolism and meaning into this picture.

Let supplemental insurance pay the difference, from S5/mo! Van Shumway 636-5056, 7:30 am - 1 0 pm throughout the movie that it makes each one less meaningful. Had he focused them down, a moral might have been prevalent but it's not. The movie you get a feel for from the previews is not what you get. I got the impression that this was a lightweight comedy about a picked-on guy with no self-esteem who rises and becomes triumphant. While diving into dark dramatic themes, there are bits of dark comedy. The problem is that they're scarce. There are some great moments, but the mundane outweighs the good. Instead of remembering the fun bright moments, you're memory of the film will be the dark disgusting ones. Technically, this film flopped in the theaters. But, in my opinion it is worth seeing once. And I'm sure Gore Verbinski is looking at his lack of success from The Weatherman thinking the same thing David Spritz says about his life's forecast in the film, "Things didn't work out as I predicted." The Weatherman is rated R for strong language and sexual content.
