Allie Merriam — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:10:17 PST

Sarah Jessica Parker seemed to take the snow theme to heart last night when she attended UNICEF's Snowflake ball in a pouffy Louis Vuitton number. She attended the gala at Cipriani 42nd Street with other stars like Zoe Kravitz, Uma Thurman, Adrien Brody, and Mark Ruffalo. Zoe made the rounds inside while decked out in a Chanel ensemble that had feathery details just like SJP's.

Sarah Jessica and her family are home in the Big Apple again after spending Thanksgiving with Matthew's sister in New Jersey. SJP and Matthew attended a mass at Morristown's St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where his sister is a pastor. Their son, James Wilkie, had a lesson on the organ, then over 20 members of their extended family sat down to enjoy a 27-pound turkey!

Watch, Pass, or Rent: Source Code

BuzzSugar — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:02:59 PDT

Sun or no sun, you may be itching to go to the movie theater this weekend. If you're thinking about seeing something exciting and new, Jake Gyllenhaal's action thriller Source Code is out now. if you want to know whether it's worth your time or money, check out my video review of the flick and the written review for more details.

Source Code: A Summer Blockbuster Comes Early

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 02:00:00 PDT

With Source Code, Jake Gyllenhaal has cemented his position as an action star who can deliver. He plays Captain Colter Stevens, a soldier whose last memory is flying a helicopter in Afghanistan. When he wakes up in the body of a teacher on a train, he's understandably confused; the situation grows more complicated when the train blows up and he awakens back in his own body in an unfamiliar tiny vessel. Disoriented, he learns that he's been assigned to revisit the final eight minutes on a commuter train before it's blown up in order to find the bomber and prevent the next, larger attack.

Stevens must relive the same sequence repeatedly until he's successful, not only to save lives but to prove that the quantum physics-based program (Source Code) works. A romantic subplot with fellow passenger Christina (Michelle Monaghan) is woven in, but the film is more than a simple action thriller with a hint of romance. Source Code is a multi-layered story that's well produced, well acted, and the best movie I've seen this year.

To find out why, just

read more. While Vera Farmiga (who plays Stevens's contact in the Source Code) and Monaghan are fine supporting characters, that's all they are. Though it's a valuable component, the love story is more of a footnote within the bigger picture of Stevens learning about the source code. The developing relationship with Christina gives Stevens another level of humanity and provides the audience with something to anticipate as Stevens repeats the same trip (and I have to mention that it's not a constant loop of the same eight minute scene.) The movie is so singularly focused on Gyllenhaal's character that its success is dependent on his performance. Gyllenhaal rises to the occasion, portraying Stevens with more depth than is required of many action stars. He's not a robotic hero; he fails, he feels, he freaks out. Source Code is also an ideal role for Gyllenhaal because the film is so complex. This is not just an explosions-and-gunshots popcorn flick. You get easily wrapped up in the story, action, and twists because of how tightly written and entertaining it is. With its capable star and gripping plot, Source Code triumphs and joins the ranks of classic Hollywood action movies.

Jaime Richards — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:20:00 PDT

Perfectly imperfect updos look so fresh and fun, not just on the red carpet, but for any old night out on the town. Last night at the Source Code premiere, Vera Farmiga, with the help of Suave Professionals celebrity stylist Jenny Cho, wore her hair in a windswept updo that had just the right amount of tousle.

Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Unfussy Meals, Source Code, and More at His Big Premiere

Allie Merriam — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:35:36 PDT

Jake Gyllenhaal cozied up to his Source Code costar Michelle Monaghan last night on the black carpet at their big LA premiere. The actors also had Vera Farmiga, along with her husband, Renn Hawkey, and Jeffrey Wright on hand for the debut of the thriller and love story mix, in which Jake's character relives an eight-minute period over and over. We snagged a minute with Jake on his way inside, and he divulged that, unlike his role, there isn't much in his life he'd choose to do again. He has a no-looking-back policy ever since his buddy Chris Cooper gave him a piece of advice, saying it's best to live without regrets. Jake also spoke about his work with Edible Schoolyards, revealing his favorite meals are local and unfussy - check out more from the screening on today's PopSugar Rush!

Jake Gyllenhaal Kicks Off the SXSW Festival by Cracking the Code of Restroom Behavior

Katie Henry — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:15:00 PDT

Jake Gyllenhaal was a lucky man with his two beautiful costars, Vera Farmiga and Michelle Monaghan, on either arm at the SXSW premiere of their movie Source Code on Friday. Their romance and action-packed film brought big name talent to the festival, though Jake's experience there wasn't all quite so smiley. That night Jake had an unfortunate run-in with a fan, when he caught a guy snapping a picture of him in a restroom. Things got heated for a moment, but it got sorted out, and the photo was deleted. During Saturday's discussion panel Jake had this to say about the incident, "I think it’s an appropriate space to keep privacy. I hope that people wouldn’t disagree with me on that." The hot actor seemed to be good-natured about the whole thing and was also excited that the trip to Austin, TX meant bringing his best friend who lives there to the red-carpet screening.
