Plus, Michelle gave five people she'd want to ride on a train with and Jake explained what he'd do for a girl on a first date. (It's actually a pretty cool date idea!)

Duncan Jones, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan - Source Code interview

“He is an army pilot, and he has tremendous training,” said Gyllenhaal last week while promoting the film. “He knows not always to trust his instinct; he knows to trust instruments in an emergency. But somewhere that instinct kicks in. His (human) instinct is saying don’t go this way ... don’t do that. But then he has to listen to his instruments, as he would as a pilot, and keep his cool.”Gyllenhaal thinks it’s going to be a treat for audiences to watch similar scenes multiple times – each one just a little different, a la “Groundhog Day.” “I found that the exercise in variation, when forced by the constraints of repetition, is fascinating and kept all of our minds always going,” he said of his fellow actors and director Duncan Jones (“Moon”). “When we came to doing the scenes on the train and then coming back to it, we made the choice to kind of make each one, each source code, like its own chapter in a book. So each one had its own name, had its own intention. Within each story, we could improv and vary it. We made lots of different choices all over the place.”“The screenplay was so taut and tight and so strong when I first read it,” he said. “It really started to change when Michelle was cast and when Duncan came on.” Putting a spotlight on the film’s love story was a big question for everyone. “There’s a sort of very emotional romantic aspect to the choice the character makes,” he said. “Duncan, Michelle and I worked on that. It was basically a guy who moves from not being able to ask this girl out for coffee to a guy who can ask this girl out for coffee.” He laughed and added, “He has to get blown up a number of times in the process, but it feels like that when you have to ask out somebody that you’re into.” Source: www.enterprisenews.com


“Swivel chair and polyester,” Farmiga laughed. “It was challenging to make this role interesting. “Duncan is really excitable as a director,” she continued. “He’s one of those directors who doesn’t mind showing you playback.”
Gyllenhaal, who is plays Colter Stevens, is one of the hottest actors out there right now. He’s done drama, action, comedies and romantic films, but “Source Code” combines them all, and adds a healthy dose of science fiction. “The script that Ben Ripley wrote was so well written that it allowed for variation. It allowed us to play with different things at different times,” Gyllenhaal said. “It was really fun for me.
“We tried to think about almost everything. But we didn’t want to answer everything because we wanted the audience to participate.” Monaghan said she and Gyllenhaal had not even met each other before “Source Code.” “We really hit it off,” she said. Source: www.azfamily.com

Matthew McConaughey in 'The Lincoln Lawyer': I like whiffs of cynicism

"Men forgot the men he played. Women, those who could stand the rakish, insulting representations of their supposed heart's desire, whittled their expectations as he tripped from one gorgeous, spoiled, obtuse version of a man to another.

But McConaughey also played a fang-toting, weird-beard dragon slayer in Reign of Fire, a skeezy sheriff in the underappreciated John Sayles classic Lone Star, a ballsy submariner in the tricky, fun World War II thriller U-571; he even stole part of the show as the morally torn TiVo-toting super-agent in Tropic Thunder. These roles cannot be forgotten.

Now, after two years off, he's back with three movies that ought to get him kicked off the Kate Hudson Express once and for all: The Lincoln Lawyer, a wheeling courtroom drama that opened in March, followed by Bernie, a Richard Linklater comedy, and the shoot-'em-up Killer Joe, about a man who takes a hit out on his mother. Matthew McConaughey as Mick Haller in "The Lincoln Lawyer" (2011)

So McConaughey has taken another turn, and it's perfectly okay to root for the guy again. Fact is, he deserves it.

"I'm not going to trip myself running downhill," he says. "I did that at times of my life. When I first got famous, it was odd. Pow-pow-pow-pow. Opportunities. That's why I got the hell out of Dodge and went to Peru. Till I felt like I could stay there."

"Nine to thirteen days," I say.

He pokes me then — bip — right in the ribs. "Hey, did I answer your question about cynicism?"

"I like quips," he says. "I like whiffs of cynicism and I think they can be witty. But I don't really know where wittiness is constructive. I also don't think it's half as funny as real behavior — as action, as falling on your face when you're trying to tackle something."
That I want to write down. I have the recorder running, but I pull out a pencil and take a single note. "I haven't seen you touch a pen to paper all weekend," he says.

I nod. This is my habit. "Pencil," I say.

"You're an observer," he says. Source: www.esquire.com

"Blue Valentine" scenes with Michelle Williams & Ryan Gosling

In their first meeting, Dean [Ryan Gosling] flirts with Cindy [Michelle Williams] as he explains he didn't steal money while working as a mover.


One of the most emotionally draining, amazingly acted scenes I've seen in a hell of a long time. Ryan and Michelle deserve all the recognition in the world. Letting go is so hard to do


Listen I didn't wanna be somebody's husband and I didn't wanna be somebody's
dad. That wasn't my goal in life. For some guys it is... Wasn't mine. But somehow, It was what I wanted. I didn't know that and now it's all I wanna do... I don't want to do anything else it's what I want to do.


Excerpt from the movie "Blue Valentine" starring Ryan Gosling & Michelle Williams and directed by Derek Cianfrance.

Jake Gyllenhaal: "Source Code is romantic, The ultimate goal is to help others"

"Gyllenhaal hopes moviegoers will respond to his love story with Michelle Monaghan, set on a speeding train bound for destruction.
“In the end, it’s romantic. The choice for this guy is not like, ‘Oh, am I really going to save the world?’ The choice is that he starts as a guy essentially in someone else’s body who is nervous to ask this girl to get a cup of coffee and then has to get blown up eight times to realize that maybe he’s got to ask this girl out for a cup of coffee. So I do relate to that". Source: www.bostonherald.com

“What would you change if you had the chance? Not much. Not in my life. I’ve been blessed,” Gyllenhaal says. “But what I learn from this movie is it’s not what you do, it’s how you respond. It’s not going out and never making a mistake. It’s how you respond afterwards. That determines who we are. “The ultimate goal is to help others, not yourself.” Source: blogs.orlandosentinel.com

"Reese Witherspoon married Jim Toth early Saturday evening at her 6-acre ranch in Ojai, Calif., UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
Wearing a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier gown, the actress, 35, exchanged vows with CAA agent Toth, 40, in front of 120 family members and friends (including Renee Zellweger, and Alyssa Milano, and Tobey Maguire) in the front courtyard of the Ojai house. Witherspoon's best friend, Heather Rosenfield, served as matron of honor, and her kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe -- daughter Ava, 11, and son Deacon, 7 -- took part in the ceremony. The Oscar winner's young nieces served as flower girls.
