Movie marathon

Saw 4 movies over a 48-hour period last week.... short synopsis...

Jarhead: Good but nothing particularly earth shattering or new. I'm not sold on Jake Gyllenhaal in such a complex role. Peter Sarsgaard, as always, was very good.
Grade: B

Prime: Like chicken soup, being Jewish will help. Uma Thurman is gorgeous and Meryl Streep hands out the guilt with the best of any Jewish mother.
Grade: B-

Brokeback Mountain: Heath Ledger is a hands-down Oscar nominee in this story of gay cowboys. Director Ang Lee paints a beautiful portait of love in the strangest of situations.
Grade: B+

Match Point: Woody's back. Wish all his movies of the past 5 years could be this good.
Grade: A-
