2. Get the latest issue of Harper's magazine |

It has a long story about Jarhead and it's relation to Apocalypse Now.

I always enjoy war movies although I don't really believe in war to solve problems between nations.

5. Looks like high potential to be good, but high suck potential too. |

Not sure about Jamie Foxx as his NCO yet.
I like the "look" of the night desert warfare scenes with the burning oil wells etc.

I can't tell you how many times I've been suckered into seeing a film, based on a slick, ad campaign. Featuring a slick montage of edited sequences coupled with a cool soundtrack. Then I see the movie and I'm pissed that I fell for the hype.
I probably won't see this one, primarily because I tend to NOT like military or war films.
It was an absolute fluke that I enjoyed Platoon as much as I did. Then again, it was probably because it was more of a character driven piece than anything--and i enjoyed the story.

I heard the author of the book speak about 2 weeks before the US invaded Iraq two and a half years ago.
