Nightcrawler
With so many good films to choose from right now, whatever you do, don’t overlook Nightcrawler. It’s a deliciously noir Los Angeles story about a sleazy freelance guy who photographs crime scenes and sells the pix to the highest bidding TV news station. This is a smart movie – well written and well acted. Jake Gyllenhaal is super creepy and Riz Ahmed is astonishing as his jittery young sidekick. “Astonishing” because we thought he was straight out of East LA, but Ahmed is a trained English actor! This is NOT a movie you’ve seen before, so don’t miss it.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL: HE USED TO BE PRETTY

Wow! Jake Gyllenhaal looks about 20 years older in this photo from the set of “Nightcrawler.” In the movie he plays a news reporter hungry for a big scoop, who discovers an underground world of freelance crime journalism in Los Angeles. According to Jake he’s lost only “a little over 20 pounds” but it looks like he’s underestimating to us. He’s joined the Matthew McConaughey club of guys who dieted away their good looks.
