Movie Review For The Source Code

The Source Code is an intelligent Sci-fi adventure from sophomore director Duncan Jones. In Source Code Jake Gyllenhall stars as Captain Colter Stevens, whose last memory was being shot down in his helicopter over Afghanistan. He wakes up in a Chicago bound train and in the body of someone who is not him. The train, filled with commuters, is eight minutes away from being blown up by terrorists and he has to try and stop the plot by finding the identity of the bomber.

The eight minute train ride is relived over and over again while he tries to figure out how to change the outcome. Of course, over the course of his “Ground Hog Day” re-dos, he meets a woman on the train and the exercise in quantum physics suddenly becomes very personal to the time traveler.

Gyllenhall does a great job playing the good soldier, who is a victim of circumstances, with compassion. Jeffery Wright also stars as the inventor of the Source Code time travel program for the U.S. military. He does a good job of portraying a nerdy mad scientist who cares more about probability and outcome than the feelings of his time traveling subject. Michelle Monagham plays the “girl on the train” who inspires the captain to sacrifice himself to save the people on the train. Scott Backula, who starred in the TV cult classic Quantum Leap, has a small part as the voice on the phone of Captain Stevens’ father

Cinematic Discussion: What Makes a Great Female Role Model?

Note : As this cinematic discussion is meant for contemporary audiences, these examples will be equally contemporary. Just as women and men are different, we've all evolved with the times. And one's role model, for the most part, often represents one's contemporary outlook for their future self. Believe it or not, a man can discuss and write about issues of feminism. While some may be woefully ignorant or just banefully uninterested, take notice, guys, you shouldn't be. And not all of us are — completely, anyway. So, with that in mind, there's one particular issue of feminism, of the representation of females, that I want to discuss at the moment: What makes a great female role model? (Of course, as localized to the medium of film.) What are the elements of a female character that should be most sought after by writers hoping to create strong, relatable, fleshed-out characters? What makes the characters who imbue those elements great role models? And what are some...

Where the wild thing are interview.

This may only be his third feature film, but I still think it’s appropriate to call Spike Jonze a visionary filmmaker. His work, both on the big screen and on the small screen (all of his music videos), is some of the most honest, creative, and unique I’ve ever seen. A few weeks back, after seeing Spike’s Where the WIld Things Are, I went to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to interview Mr. Jonze, and he invited me into bed. I’m not even joking - Spike and I got into bed together (not under the covers, of course!) to talk about bringing Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book to life on the big screen exactly the way he first envisioned it. I wish I had a photo, or video, to prove that we did this in bed, but I don’t. Spike had been tired from doing press all day and needed to rest, so since we were in a hotel room, he invited me to do the interview in bed. Sure it was a little bit awkward and very intimate, but I felt that was able to talk with Spike in a way that I don’t think most people a...
