[EX Q]: full metal jacket , very much like every other hard - hitting film about the vietnam war , is an shocking , emotional depiction of the war that effected almost everyone in america .
this film is more like platoon than any other in the way that it chronicles the struggles of a young man ( private joker , played by matthew modine ) during his tour in the vietnam war .
however , full metal jacket gives the audience an insight into combat life very rarely seen before : boot camp .
these sequences are considered to be the best part in this three act film , even though i found the later portions to be equally stunning .
as in platoon , full metal jacket gets off to a quick start .
the opening sequence is the initiation for the recruits , which is getting their heads shaved .
from there , they find themselves standing at attention and receiving their orders from the extremely hard and punishing sergeant hartman , played extremely well by the former drill instructor r .
lee ermey .
apparently , the solution was found for the perfect man to play a drill instructor in the movies , because ermey depicts his character extremely well and will make you thank whomever that you were never subjected to such horrible situations .
private joker gets off on the wrong foot with the sergeant , as does the large bodied private leonard lawrence ( vincent d'onofrio ) , whom is dubbed ' gomer pyle ' by sgt . hartman .
the film is continually narrated by private joker , in which he explains his visions on what is going on .
the entire corps , although repeatedly hammered by sgt .
hartman , continues on .
private pyle , however , seems to be the rag doll for the drill instructor .
he continually absorbs the worst punishment and humiliation , and it basically does not stop .
that is , until sgt .
hartman comes up with a new plan .
he will punish the rest of the soon - to - be - marines for pyle 's goof - ups , even after joker was assigned to help him out in the best way he can .
pyle then receives punishment from his fellow recruits , and things take a turn for the worst .
pyle proves that not everyone is emotionally , physically , and mentally cut out for the life of a marine .
after graduation , joker is sent over to the height of the action in order to document the war , which is his service .
he is not a member of the infantry , and it is unclear if he will ever actually find himself in combat .
when he sets out on a documenting mission , this question becomes very clear from the start .
joker joins up with a platoon , along with his hometown friend cowboy ( arliss howard ) , and follows their everyday actions , interviewing and filmming them along the way .
he also soon finds himself in a position in which he must fight , or die .
again , as in the tradition of vietnam war films , full metal jacket can be debated as to whether it is an anti - war film or not .
a few of the more powerful scenes toward the end will leave you to decide .
full metal jacket succeeds extremely well in documenting the life of a young man in vietnam , as have others in the past .
this film , in different ways , also can be viewed as more powerful than others .
that , again , is up for debate and depends on your opinion .
one thing is for sure , however ; no one ever wants to experience the absolute hell that these soldiers are subjected to .
unfortunately , many did .

[EX Q]: plot : a separated , glamorous , hollywood couple must pretend to reunite for a press junket of the last movie that they ever shot together .
kewl . . .
now
i only wish that i could pretend never to have seen this movie . . .
critique : trite , unfunny , boring and a waste of everyone 's talent .
how a premise with such zest and bite can turn into a movie that does n't feature any chemistry , any real laughs , any surprises or any spice is beyond me .
how julia roberts is used solely as a " puppy dog " character , puttering around in the background while we endure the complete bitchiness of zeta - jones ' character , who is not one bit funny or romantic
( two ideal ingredients in a " romantic comedy " ) , is also beyond me .
and why they chose john cusack , a great , quirky actor in his own right , to play
the most bland , uninteresting and unfetching character ( with zero chemistry with either of his leads ) is further more , beyond me .
and to anybody who decided that this project was " funny " enough to greenlight featuring the talents mentioned above , along with billy crystal , christopher walker , seth green and stanley tucci .
. .
well , what can i say .
. .
i just do n't have the words .
so is this the worst movie that i 've seen all year ?
no .
but it definitely sucks
and it 's basically because . . .
well , it 's just not funny .
and for the record , allow me to state a few more problems with it .
it starts off slow , it 's got no energy , it does n't engage you with any of its characters
( julia barely gets somewhat interesting in the film , everyone else . . .
lame ! ) , it utilizes way too many flashbacks to move the story forward , it 's utterly predictable , standard , routine , see - through and uninteresting as a plot and it just sits there on the screen , big and ugly , waiting . . .
waiting for you to laugh or find something in it that is amusing .
and then hank azaria shows up . . .
aaaaaah , the film 's savior ( mind you , some might be offended by his exaggeration of a stereotype , but that 's another story altogether ) .
but when an experienced " voice " actor upstages all of the main stars in a summer " blockbuster " romantic comedy with an over - the - top antonio banderas accent , damn dude . . .
your film 's in trouble ! ! rent this movie on video just to see what went wrong yourself .
the references to ricky ricardo and senor wences
( huh ! ? ) , the idio - plot points like when one of the characters goes on the roof to stretch his arms out and relax , but everyone believes that he 's going to kill himself ( hardy - har - har ) and the cheap way of getting the audience to leave the theater laughing by bringing back a ball - sniffing dog that has no place being in the location at the end of the movie , well .
. .
i could go on .
but i wo n't because i do still respect all of the actors in this film and actually did laugh at azaria , green and tucci 's antics from time to time ( ironic , eh .
. .
what about the leads , dammit ! )
and liked the premise behind the film ( before i saw the finished product , of course ) .
a dud all the way around .
btw , all the talk about this film was that julia roberts was to be in a fat suit for one scene
( her character is supposed to have lost 60 pounds ) , so when the scene finally came , i did get a little excited about what it might look like and then . . .
well , it basically just looked like julia roberts in a fat suit ! ugh .
i think i 'm gon na start drinking again after this lame - ass movie .
c'mon hollywood , enough with the crud !

[EX Q]: i 've always been a kevin kline fan , silverado , fish called wanda , pirates of penzance , and even his hamlet on pbs ' great performances .
the minute i saw the trailer for this film , i resolved to see it .
besides the fact that kline starred , it looked like a hilarious film .
i got sucker punched by the trailer to an extent , however , as i also thought , " wow , if there 's this much funny stuff in the trailer , there must be a ton of laughs in the rest of the film .
"
( oops ) i packed up the wife and headed to les cinemas del diablo ( my name for our local multi - multi - plex . )
the film began . . . .
the film concerns an english / drama teacher at a suburban high school , named howard brackett .
he loves poetry and great literary works , but his class is more interested in his famous former student , played by matt dillon .
( i 'd put in his name , but my wife wo n't let me take notes during a movie and i 've forgotten it . )
they continually interrupt his long poetic expositions with fawning questions about him .
brackett has been engaged to another teacher ( played by joan cusack ) for three years , and has finally gotten up the gumption to marry her .
the wedding , however , becomes the big question mark of the film as this famous student of his says during the live oscar broadcast that brackett is a homosexual .
kline spends most of the first two - thirds of the film frantically trying to convince everyone that he is n't .
the whole town begins to examine every detail of his life and begins to identifying all those things that confirm his sexual preference .
his closest friends do n't help matters , bringing nothing but barbara streisand laserdiscs to his stag party .
there are some genuinely hilarous moments , one involving a tape geared towards helping men assert their masculinity .
kline is hounded by a gay reporter played by tom selleck , who waxes poetic on the benefits of coming out , while at the same time doing his best to exploit the situation for his own sleazy tabloid machinations .
the movie moves along fine and slowly builds to the climax of the wedding .
kline stands at the altar and is asked to take his vows . . .
if you want to be surprised , do n't read , i am going to reveal the ending . . . .
instead of saying " i do " in front of his parents and most of the town , and even some cameras , he says " i 'm gay .
" this is where the movie , in my opinion falls apart .
most of the humor in the film had come from kline 's insistence that he was straight , while at the same time , loving poetry and being a senstivie guy , dressing well , and occaisionally acting prissy .
it reminded me of the " effeminate heterosexual " sketch from saturday night live .
it was funny
, it was sustainably funny , and kline 's performance made it doubly so .
however , after the wedding , the film drags on .
they should have attempted to come to a quick conclusion , but it then gets into the serious side of what he 's done .
he reconciles with his parents and his friends , some of which had turned on him .
there are several scenes which seemed like a waste of time , the scene with his mother and her friends , which was hilarious , seemed pointless , and the scene with tom selleck in the bar with joan seemed pointless .
finally , even though i am not catholic , i found the scene with the priest to be condescending .
the preist can not believe that a man was engaged for three years and had not consumated the relationship , proclaiming to brackett in the third person , " he 's gay .
"
it got a chuckle from the audience , but i was distracted by it , and began to tire of the film .
by the time the wedding had come and gone , i found myself hoping it would be over soon .
( much like this review you are saying )
overall , if i have to quantify it , i say , rising action gets
*
* * * and climax and falling action gets .
see it in economy time .
