Jarhead- 3/10- I almost fell asleep a few times. I think this movie just seemed to either steal from older, better movies, or was just flat out boring. I get it, the marines are tough, they are a little crazy, and war can be boring too. What a waste of 2 hours.
The Fountain- 8/10- I've never been so confused since Donnie Darko. I really liked the imagery and the jumping around. I still have no idea what was going on, but I felt really attached and interested in the story and players. Maybe I'll try and read some more about it, but I thought it was really good. Plus, I read a story about it a few months ago in Wired about how Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette abandonded the film and the budget was slashed. Pretty funny.
