I love this movie…Hoorah! Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx are spectacular in “Jarhead,” the real-life and thought-provoking wartime piece that should be 2005’s movie of the year. Gyllenhaal (“Donnie Darko,” “Day After Tomorrow”) stars as Anthony Swofford, a Marine sniper who is fresh out of boot camp and ready for war.

Who started this trend and please answer me why? “Emo boys” are popping up everywhere and it’s just another trend that hopefully will die out by the end of this year…hopefully.
