Anyone seen this yet? I will be seeing it as soon as it comes to the "discount" theater, and I can't wait!! The previews look so cool and the music that's playing really gets my blood pumping. Opinions yet??

-i cant even watch the previews i have to switch the channel everytime it comes on. Once my husband gets home i will be seeing it though. One of my favorite movies is Black Hawlk Down and i cant watch that either. Its harder to watch those type of movies now that my husband is there.

but it does look good. When the preview doesnt make me wanna cry, then ill go see it LOL

Ive seen the previews and it looks like a must see. I cant remember where Ive seen the kid in it but hes good, kinda like a young Edward Norton.

I saw a good flick last night. 11:14 its called. Quirky and it bounces around but it all comes together in the end. 3.5 popcorn kernels.

Another funny but very wierd one is Napolean Dynamite. Good rent. 4 popcorn kernels.

Jake Gyllenhall, Jamie Fox, soldiers going to Iraq, talking about kicking the snot out of Saddam? Ringing any bells? It only opened today, I believe, and the music? I have no idea who it is, and it's not stuff I would normally listen to, but it fits the feel of this movie very well.

Let me go see what I can find on it for ya Arnold. :-4

I just saw the commercial for it, it perked my husband up right away-I asked him if he wanted me to get it when it comes out, or get Star War III-he said "JarHead!" Score one for the Air Force brat!

*zip for me, I wanted to buy Star Wars III on Tuesday, but probably will sneak it in anyway!*

I highly recommend the book, 2/3rd of the way through, it's awesome. He's a good writer/storyteller, and you get a full idea of the places and his dicription of military life is spot on!
That's what I wanted to hear: a military man's review. Thanks, Far!
