On the cover of "Esquire"
"The new December Esquire came out yesterday (or the day before), with six actors being celebrated on the cover for having given the mag's choices for "Performances of the Year." Denzel Washington in American Gangster, Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There, Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men, Robert Downey in Zodiac, Emile Hirsch in Into The Wild and Jake Gyllenhaal in...Rendition?
It's not that Gyllenhaal plays his Egypt-based CIA guy badly or ineffectively, but that Egypt-based CIA guy is written as such a revoltingly passive wuss. As Esquire's Mike D'Angelo points out, Gyllenhaal "spends much of Rendition standing in the corner of a dark room, watching as some poor soul gets beaten, doused and fried...it's a near-silent performance."
For me, Gyllenhaal's inactivity is infuriating. He's not just a guy doing nothing, but an emblem of do-nothing types the world over. Two thirds of the way through a screening of Rendition at the Toronto Film Festival I leaned over to a friend sitting next to me and said, motioning at Gyllenhaal, "Is he going to do anything or what?"
Gyllenhaal's guy finally makes a move at the very end, yes, but it comes way, way too late".

Ad hoc encounter
"We arrived about 10 minutes late, so we lost our table and had to wait to be seated. While we were waiting, a small, attractive blond woman walked in wearing jeans and a black wool coat. She faced the wall, and I could tell that she didn't want to be seen. Behind her walked in a taller guy with dark hair and a characteristically unshaven face. It was Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, standing four feet away from me, dining at Ad Hoc. The hostess seated them immediately in the back corner, about 20 feet away from our table, and that was about all I saw of them for the remainder of the evening. I have to admit, I was kind of starstruck. I guess that's California".
