The 2005 release casts "Jake Gyllenhaal" as Lance Corporal Anthony Swofford who joins the US Marines and is posted to Iraq.
The marine soldiers call themselves Jarheads. The movie is narrated by Anthony. Instead of the war, the movie shows the pre-war settlements of soldiers on the battlefields and their state of mind. It shows how they live in deserts and wait for the war to begin, patrolling procedures, their companionships, how they build their morale and stabilize their state of mind. At the end the war only lasts 4 days for their company and they return back. Thus they live in the desert and prepare themselves not for the war but their life after war.
It is a must watch for anyone who wishes to know the life at the actual battle site.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The movie released in 2005 is the 4th in the series and the fastest to earn most revenues in the series & broke many blockbuster records. With the same cast and Voldemort is back in full form.
The Triwizard Cup is in Hogwarts and only one student from the 3 participating schools can compete. The candidates are shosen by the Goblet of Fire. Only students above 17 years are allowed to compete. But then somehow a 4th name comes out of the Goblet and the name is Harry Potter. Every one takes him as a cheat. The boy is also attaining adolescence and is attracted towards someone. Ron and Hermione are also attracted towards thier respective crushes. There are 3 dangerous tasks to be completed but in the end Harry meets Voldemort somehow and both fight. Harry's friend Cedric is killed in the end.
Harry wins the cup. The movie is interesting as all other in the series but the visual effects aren't that good as in the 3rd movie. But that doesn't mean this is trash. The movie is worth watching.

Garfield
The orange fat cat is the hero with the voice of none other than the perfectionist humour man "Bill Murray". "Breckin Meyer" is Garfield's owner Jon and "Jennifer Love Hewitt" is the Vet Liz. The movie was a 2004 hit.

Garfield wants to shoo it away and a hit TV pet show anchor Happy Chapman wants to kidnap Odie for his show and succeds. When Garfield realizes his mistake he along with his animal friends brings Odie back.
The whole process of Bringing Odie back is humorous and funny. You'll love the cat if you see him move and groove.

Shrek 2
The green ogre in "Mike Myers" voice is back and so is his wife Fiona dubbed by "Cameron Diaz". This 2004 hit is the sequel of Shrek and is more fun filled.
Shrek come to the land Far Far Away with Fiona to meet her parents the King and the Queen. Everyone is taken aghast by their ogre image. The King is sort of unwilling to accept Shrek as his son-in-law and thus with the help of the Fairy God Mother tries to shoo him away and instead bring Prince Charming in Fiona's life. When Shrek drinks a magical potion he and his love both change in to humans. Fiona is told by her father that Prince Charming is Shrek in the ogre form. Shrek sees them intimitating and goes away. He meets Puss in Boots dubbed by "Antonio Banderas" sent by the King to kill Shrek. Puss befriends Shrek and find out the bad deeds of Fairy Godmother.
The ending 30 min of the movie are quite interesting, especially Shrek's transportation and the part.
