Well after some scheduling issues, we finally landed our feature review for this weekend and it’s going to be Demolition, starring the wonderful Jake Gyllenhaal. Gyllenhaal has been on quite the ride over the last few years with phenomenal performances is Enemy, Prisoners, Nightcrawler, End of Watch, Source Code and last year’s Southpaw. He was always good before but he’s on a new level now that has put him with some of the best actors working today. The Academy may not admit it, but he gave the best male performance of 2014 with his performance in Nightcrawler.
But we can’t forget that he’s been in some great films even before his acting transformation. Brokeback Mountain, for example, garnered lots of critical acclaim and won three Oscars. Jarhead was a solid war film that really wasn’t about war and while Brendan may not approve, Donnie Darko is beloved by many cinephiles. And Zodiac is arguably a Top 3 David Fincher film and Gyllenhaal’s performance is a major contributing factor.
All that to say, Gyllenhaal has a solid resume with many films to like. So, with that as our inspiration for our poll this week, what is your favorite film starring or co-starring Jake Gyllenhaal?
