Jake Gyllenhaal fit for 'Source Code', Russell Peters, Charlie Sheen, dating site

Duncan Jones and Jake Gyllenhaal attending "Source Code" Berlin Screening on 7th April, 2011 in Berlin, Germany

“Source Code” instantly reminds me of a cross between “The Matrix” and “Vantage Point” and makes you think at the end like “Inception” did. A couple things to point out, the score in the film was very odd. It started off great with an old school sound of a thriller, like an early 90′s “Die Hard” type but then got very sappy and Hollywood-ish during some parts that make it lose the seriousness.

Russell Peters appears in Source code - Five minutes preview clip.

There is a minor, but very odd role that is played by comedian Russell Peters. In the film he does play a comedian the but the jokes are really unfunny and it seems like his persona did not translate well in the film.

While the on screen connection and chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Monaghan’s characters is made to seem intimate it’s a relationship that climbs a ladder to get to where it needs to be. Farmiga and Wright are strong in their puppetier like roles, and Gyllenhaal gives a great performance in a role that seem fit for him". Source: filmfodder.wordpress.com

Charlie Sheen is dating both Natalie Kenly, a model, and Rachel Oberlin, ex-porn star. Sheen attempted marriage before, and his domestic arrangement just seems to be a fit by now.

"Source Code" is a true and eloquent expression"

Jake Gyllenhaal in Iceland on 11th April 2011,

"Jake Gyllenhaal plays an Army pilot who has been recruited for a special assignment. His consciousness has been projected into the body of one of the victims, so that he can look around, find out who blew up the train and head off another terrorist attack about to take place in Washington.
Like its protagonist, "Source Code" gets a lot done in a short time, and by the end of a concise and packed hour and a half, there's a sense of having completed a full journey. Vera Farmiga, as the officer conducting the experiment, nicely calibrates a soldier's path from cold efficiency to humanity, and Jeffrey Wright as the ambitious scientist behind the project creates a detailed portrait of a skewed soul. Meanwhile, Michelle Monaghan, as one of the unwitting victims of the tragedy, is lovely and vivid. The notion of a man's falling in love with a dead woman's shadow is a familiar motif in high art. It's no less potent in this crowd-pleasing picture.
The accuracy of the science must be left for someone else to gauge. But as an evocation of the grand desires of the spirit - and the painful distance between the simple things people search for and the things they actually find - "Source Code" is a true and eloquent expression".

Jake Gyllenhaal is "Source Code"´s great asset

"When I interviewed Duncan Jones about the film, I asked him that very question and he emphatically denied it, and said the script had always been designed the way we see it in the film, but he didn’t have a plausible explanation for the change of heart within the story. Maybe that explains why Geoffrey Wright walks with a limp and a cane throughout the film (we are never told why), simply because he needed something to do while going through the rote and dry story points. Farmiga’s character looks pained throughout, but we can understand why once we are told the reasons that Colter has specifically been chosen. Farmiga’s character is very similar to the one played by Deborah Kara Unger in David Fincher’s The Game, where she manipulates the main character through one phony experience after another. Deborah Kara Unger in The Game (1997) directed by David Fincher

"The Game" was also cold and focused until it packs the emotion into the final 10 minutes, but at least there the explanation is what makes the emotion a necessary outlet, and we’re still left wondering what was really going on after the movie ends. Source Code is also cold and clinical (if we learn anything, it’s that, just like in Back to the Future, time travel gives you frost bite), but the emotion tacked on at the end is just that, tacked on. In Source Code, we don’t wonder anything at the end except why we didn’t leave the theater at the 80 minute mark". Source: www.examiner.com

"Jake Gyllenhaal is the movie's great asset. This spring has been the season of three movies made worthy by their leading men, who carried them through perilous plotting. Matthew McConaughey in The Lincoln Lawyer, Bradley Cooper in Limitless, and now Gyllenhaal in Source Code all made their movies better than they might have been. They each exhibited an artful ability to humanize their characters -- good guys under extreme pressure -- in a dehumanized world of gamesmanship". Source: tonymacklin.net

Charlie Sheen: difficult role in terms of cliches in "Lucas" (1986)


Charlie told ET he plays the "heroic, compassionate, nice guy of this film. It's interesting – it's the first film, or the first character, I've played that has no violence -- I don't show up on the set and I'm not handed a gun. It's pretty interesting."
Sporting a high school football uniform and shoulder pads, Charlie mused, "This is the exact type of role that I would have written for myself at this point in my career." Source: www.etonline.com

Charlie Sheen and Kerri Green as Cappie and Maggie in "Lucas" (1986)

"Kerri Green, who was in "The Goonies", is so subtle and sensitive as Maggie that you realize she isn't just acting; she understands this character in her heart. As the football hero, Charlie Sheen in some ways has the most difficult role because we're primed to see him in terms of cliches -- the jock who comes along and wins the heart of the girl. Sheen doesn't even remotely play the character that way. It is a surprise to find that he loves Lucas, that he protects him from the goons at school, that although he has won Maggie away from Lucas, he cares very deeply about sparing the kid's feelings".

Robert Pattinson talks of Jacob: “Very ethical and loyal, a really good man.”

Pattison said the production: “felt like it was kind of magical in many ways, because we were out in the desert shooting. There was nothing from the modern world around. It was a different experience for me. It wasn’t in a studio or anything.”

Jake Gyllenhaal in 'Man vs. Wild', visits the Laundromat Café in Reykjavík

"American actor Jake Gyllenhaal spent last weekend at the site of last year’s volcanic eruptions, Eyjafjallajökull glacier and Fimmvörduháls mountain range, in fierce weather to shoot an episode for the survival television series Man vs. Wild, hosted by English adventurer Bear Grylls on the Discovery Channel and Channel 4.

Ben Stiller at the Film Independent Spirit Awards (04/26/2011)

He is not the only film star who has starred in Man vs. Wild; it has also featured the survival strategies of US actors Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell, Fréttabladid reports.

"We can confirm that we were with Gyllenhaal and Grylls but I’d rather not comment any further on the story", said Thór Kjartansson at the Icelandic production company True North which assisted the show’s crew on the glacier. “But they definitely got the wildest and best of Icelandic nature,” he added.
Before heading out for the wild, Gyllenhaal dropped by the store 66°North on Bankastraeti and the Laundromat Café on Austurstraeti in Reykjavík.

“He came here twice, on Friday night and Saturday and was totally relaxed,” commented Steinn Einar at Laundromat. Apparently, the actor wasn’t anxious about the experience that awaited him on the glacier". Source: www.icelandreview.com
