what about full metal jacket that is a great film i thought
Again, ok movie but very slow. I'm probably one of the few people who don't completely rave about this film. I'd probably give it more credit, but my better judgment has been clouded by a recent viewing of Eyes Wide Shut.

Just saw it yesterday as well. Somewhat predictable, but a decent directing effort by Mamet nonetheless.
Eh, that was one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and quite possibly Kilmer's personal worst.
You didn't even know
Spoiler:
who had been kidnapped, they never said it outloud, so they started hinting at it 1/2 way through the movie. "Do they know who they have?".
Kilmer's delivery was so grade schoolish, and contrived! It was painful to sit through, as was the dialogue.
"I'd call you a stone cold whore master."
People..avoid this movie at all costs.
Here's a movies few have seen: Searching for Bobby Fischer. It's about a young chess player named Josh, who is really gifted. He played speed chess and is noticed by a famous chess teacher. He gives Josh a different kind of lesson, a slow, more developed strategy, instead of the speed chess Josh learned in the parks of NYC. This movies isn't just for chess fans, but it can appel to all ppl, in someway.
