You could possibly relate Jarhead to William Broyles Jr’s biggest success, Cast Away. After all, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a lonely man stranded in a sandy landscape, yearning for home.

When I was at the New York ComiCon last week, I saw many men in their 30s who live at home with their parents. None of them looked like Matthew McConaughey, People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.

The 2-disc special edition DVD of Jarhead isn’t stuffed with the usual fluff that we’ve come to expect on quickly made, poorly thought out DVDs in recent years.
