GALLERY: Keep 'Watch' Over Jake Gyllenhaal
If we ever had to be arrested, we'd want Jake Gyllenhaal to be the one to slap on the cuffs.
Jake makes law enforcement downright sexy in "End of Watch," the gritty new cop thriller in which the all-grown-up "Donnie Darko" star intimidates criminals with his piercing blue eyes (and sometimes with a gun, too). We'd certainly feel safer in a world where Jake's out there on the streets — serving, protecting and rocking that blue uniform.
Put your hands on your head and gaze upon Gyllenhaal in our Hot People Looking Hot photo gallery. "End of Watch" is now in theaters.

Jake Gyllenhaal Has Déjà Vu in 'Source Code' on DVD and Blu-ray
Summit
Imagine if you were forced to relive eight minutes of someone else's life over and over again. This is the intriguing premise of "Source Code," the second feature by Duncan Jones, the director of "Moon" and the unsurprisingly talented spawn of David Bowie.
When young soldier Colter Stephens (Jake Gyllenhaal) awakens, he finds himself on a Chicago commuter train sitting across from a beautiful woman named Christina (Michelle Monaghan). Confused as to why she thinks he is a schoolteacher named Sean Fentress, Colter explores his surroundings until a bomb goes off eight minutes later, destroying the train and killing everyone on board.

Friday, Friday, Time for a Body-Switching Mashup on Friday
Summit
In the just-released movie "Source Code," Jake Gyllenhaal wakes up on a train to find out that his consciousness has been transferred into another person's body. What he may not realize is that he's part of a long and glorious Hollywood tradition dating back more than 20 years.
Why the two-people-magically-switching-bodies theme has been such a persistent one in the movie world, we're not quite sure - it's not like "18 Again" broke the bank at the box office. Whatever the cause, a surprisingly large number of actors have had to follow the direction, "Now, look into the mirror and realize that you're not looking back at your own face." Get More »

5 Questions With Vera Farmiga

Vera Farmiga may be one of the few true artistes working in Hollywood today. She dabbles in a little bit of everything, starring in big Hollywood productions, small indies and directing her own films (her debut "Higher Ground" premiered at this year's Sundance).
In "Source Code," the new sci-fi thriller from "Moon" director Duncan Jones, she delivers a performance with the same gravitas she'd tackle any picture with, big or small. She takes her work seriously and it shows -- her role as Colleen Goodwin, the military officer in constant contact with Jake Gyllenhaal's time traveling solider, full of life, even though she spends most of the movie staring at a computer monitor.
