I love Jake. Jake Jake Jake.

I have a crush on Jake Gyllenhaal. And when I heard about him starring in Brokeback Mountain, I was very interested in seeing it. I haven't yet (no one will go with me) but a friend of mine did and she gave it rave reviews! She absolutely loved it, and said not to assume that it was just a movie about gay cowboys. She said it was so much more than that.

I have been looking around and to my (happy) surprise, I have found lots of really good words for this movie. I hadn't thought this movie would be much of a sucsess, because I had thought a lot of people would be iffy about seeing it. But that wasn't the case at all! Apparently the theater was full of people of every age group, (save children..) mostly middle aged and older women with their husbands in tow, and they all enjoyed it immensely. There was no uncomfortableness, the story was handled very well, it has a good plot, which many movies these days lack, and, as I have heard, it is totally worth the money. I will go see this movie, and write a more knowledgeable review, but for now, I say "Go check it out and let me know what you thought!"
