Science-fiction is often so terribly difficult to get right on screen because its makers get bogged down in minutiae, trying to craft expansive, futuristic and/or alien worlds, or over-explain the processes that differentiate and separate their plane of reality from that of the present day. “Source Code “, thankfully, is not one of those movies. It grooves, it pulses, it entertains — deftly balancing smarts with a streamlined aim to please. The sophomore effort of director Duncan Jones ( “Moon “), the high-concept techno-thriller is kind of amusingly impatient with some of the nitty-gritty specifics of its own conceit (“Every second explaining things puts more lives at risk!” one character…

Title: Source Code Directed By: Duncan Jones Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright, Michael Arden, Cas Anvar, Kyle Gatehouse Source Code is big for Duncan Jones. Having stepped into the spotlight in the best way possible via his critically acclaimed first feature, Moon, Jones was bound for big budget Hollywood. Sure enough, the opportunity arose and Source Code is his second feature. Now the question is, can Jones do it again but with a new leading man and a whole lot more money? It’s a noble effort, but in the end, Source Code makes it quite clear; lots of money and a heartthrob lead don’t guarantee you…

Paramount Pictures has expressed interest in moving ahead with director Doug Liman’s untitled sci-fi action Moon film, Hollywood Reporter is confirming. DreamWorks initially expressed interest in the movie, which was at one time called ‘Luna,’ in 2007, but eventually decided against releasing it.

Led by an Eastern European woman, the group steals space equipment around the world in an effort to go back to the moon to obtain an energy…

The official poster for “Source Code” has been released, according to ScreenCrave. The poster shows Jake Gyllenhaal’s character running amid photos showing different parts of the character’s past and possibly future, at least, that’s what I gather from it. It would also appear that this is an enhanced poster. Many magazines and other forms of media are now utilizing special square codes on certain ads and articles that allow the viewer to access videos and other media on their computer. There is a white square at the bottom of the poster that looks like one of those special codes. It also has some instructions under it, further signifying that the…

Title: Love and Other Drugs Director: Edward Zwick Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, Josh Gad, Judy Greer, Gabriel Macht, Kate Jennings Grant Much like modern medicine, Love and Other Drugs is so close in executing the perfect remedy. By staying thorough and exploring the two captivating leads, the flick is on the right path. The 113 minute story contains aggressive dialogue that will have one’s jaw slowly dropping as they becomes emotionally connected to the characters. All the notable supporting players act as stitches in keeping this script together. They also move it along and give it a necessary spark with the timely comedic sequences and…
