I've got all his movies I bought some second hand, some are downloaded (legally btw ) from the internet (by my brother and my boyfriend's dad - they are so sweet, I'm so grateful they did that for me! ) and one I saw at the cinema and isn't on dvd yet (LAOD). I was interested to see him in all his movies even the ones where he's got a very small part TDAT is not really "my kind" of movie, I usually don't like action-disaster movies, so I didn't expect much of TDAT, but to my surprise, I found it quite entertaining (but also nothing "more" than that), I think Jake was quite good in it, enjoyed his acting I like him in all his movies, I think he didn't act bad in any of them, however, I didn't feel 100% about him in "Proof". Not that he played his role bad or anything but I just wasn't totally "convinced"... Maybe because his role could 've been written a bit better or more profoundly, I don't know... I think it's very good that he felt he had to play more adult roles, and I think he was so right to feel / to do that Els xxx

Strange impression about "Proof", surely hsi character isn't too deep, but in the end i like him, the movie i like less so far is"Moonlightmile" his character is too hermetic.... Same thoughts about "The day after tomorrow" even if action/disater movie are my cup of tea. It's great to be able to share our impression, today i've found on italian web site that also "Hightway" is avaible, juts "Lovely and amazing" is quite hard to get....

Indeed interesting and very nice to share our thoughts It's not that I don't like the character or don't like Jake in "Proof" (on the contrary ), it just felt to me that there was something about it that didn't feel 100% to me, something about it wasn't totally "convincing" or "believable", but that's just my opinion It's got nothing to do with Jake's acting skills (he's GREAT), it's just the role he plays doesn't "convince" me, maybe it could 've been better written, so he would 've had more to work with and it would come accross as more convincing to me. I don't know maybe I'm too demanding hehe Jake is - imo- absolutely amazing and cute in "Highway" (I must admit the movie itself isn't really "my thing" but he's so great in it, it makes it really worth watching , and he's lovely and amazing in LAA Still *keeping my fingers crossed* for you to find LAA xxx

I know exacclty what you eman about Gyllenhaal's character in proof, also he ahve jus few scenes, and honeslty he cannot do more then he done, what i try to explain is that oyur impressions about "Proof" are corret, and i share your thoughts, but definitely Gyllenhaal isn't co-star but co-co-star so to me his character works. Still i dosen't like Gyllenhaal's in "Moonlightmile", isn't a matter of his way of ating, thta is indeed good, but i don't get his character,beside then that all the movie is quite slow, and comes undone in my point of view, even if the cast is amazing . I'll keep you posted about Lovely and Amazing, actually no luck.....

I think "Moonlight Mile" is a beautiful, interesting movie and I love Jake and his character in it, to me it felt much more convincing than his character in "Proof", even if his role in that movie is "just" co-co-star, I still felt like he deserved to get a bit more, but yes like you said: he absolutely made the best out of what he got Yes I think so too: the cast is amazing Indeed, the movie is quite slow, but I don't mind, I enjoyed it very much; much more than "Proof" (I mean the movie as well as his role) but that's just my opinion xxx

sure do not mind, simply we have different perceptios about both "Proof" and "Moonlightmile". I found Gyllenhaal's character such touchy in proof, and in Moonlightmile completly undone, i mean i was exepected for something that will never happens, i didn't understand how Joe ac, and why sometimes, BTW i agree with you, the movie is slow, in some part surreal, but at least just taste!The cast is simply amazing

Hi Els! Better later than never. I like sudoku a lot. I like all Jake's movies. Some of them most - like BBM, Donnie Darko, POP, LAOD, Highway,Proof (I like it on the contrary - very much. I find Hal - very sweet), the other less - Zodiak. But in each movie Jake is great! Greetings!
