“Brothers”  (R)

–Natalie Portman plays a Marine wife who’s told that her husband died in Afghanistan.  His brother consoles her a little TOO well and they fall in love.  Unfortunately, her husband DIDN’T die.  And as soon as he suspects that his brother’s been plowing his wife, it all hits the fan.

–Tobey Maguire plays the jealous husband and Jake Gyllenhaal is his brother.  (–It’s weird what a difference a buzz cut can make.  I never really thought of Tobey Maguire as that much of a bad ass, but with those wild eyes and that military haircut he looks INTENSE.)
