Jarhead |
DVD Release Date : March 07, 2006 |

Starring : Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx, Peter Sarsgaard, Lucas Black, Chris Cooper, Dennis Haysbert, Rini Bell. |
Runtime : 123 minutes. Genre : Drama, War. |
Official Website : http://www.jarheadmovie.com/ |
Plot Summary : |
"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. |

Genre : Drama. |
Official Website : http://www.thinkfilmcompany.com/ |

Sometimes somber, somtimes sly and self-parodying, and always surreal, "I Love Your Work" chronicles the disintegration of Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi), a movie star losing his grip on reality, unable to adjust to his own celebrity, and consumed by a twisted nostalgia for love and simplicity lost.
With his recent and highly publicized marriage to the beautiful starlet Mia (Franka Potente) already strained by the glare of the media and their own dueling egos, Gray begins an impossible, self-indulgent struggle to reclaim a sense of authenticity that ultimately drives him mad. |

Plot Summary : |
Kate Montgomery's film is a lighthearted tale that features an almost entirely Native American cast, and a refreshing take on tribal culture.

Determined to get a good review, Ray has his work cut out for him. His chef (Graham Greene) doesn't want to cook meat, his loyal assistant (Sheila Tousey) is distracted by a particularly juicy romance novel, his handyman (Jonathan Joss) is busy flirting with the ski bunnies, his housekeeping staff has decided to turn the hotel into a daycare center and his father, a retired chief (Sam Valhos) just wants to win the Jeep Cherokee at the Christmas bingo. When a beautiful and mysterious young woman (Mariana Tosca) arrives from New York, she's mistaken for the critic, while the real one (M. Emmett Walsh) encounters one problem after the next. |
