gay cowboys and woody in london

OK. First, please don't call it "that gay cowboy movie". Second, Jake Gyllenhaal rocks in whatever he does. Although Heath Ledger is the one that has been nominated for best actor in most cinema awards so far.

I'm going to the premier of Brokeback Mountain tonight. I am very excited and I cannot hide it.
Being a fan of Jake's talent (oh Jake how I love thee - let me count the ways...) I am very proud of seeing him doing such a daring movie - at least it is daring for Hollywood. I didn't dwell much into the theme of the movie - but the trailer was all it took to have me interested.
Then it's an Ang Lee movie and I can't think of any other director to do such a movie - he has the sensibility required for the subject.

Then Match Point, the new Woody Allen movie, on Friday. By watching its trailer it is not at all your typical Woody Allen comedie. It is quite harsh and dramatic and Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers look brilliant in their roles. What starts as an elegant movie in Britland with a man divided between two women eventually turns out into an out of control situation.

Besides both movies have been getting very good reviews everywhere so what a good way to start the cinema year in 2006.

Besides "that gay cowboy movie", Jake Gyllenhaal is going to star on JARHEAD, a Gulf-war movie with a very promising trailer.

MATCH POINT is, as I told you before, a sublime movie.

Jarhead premiers in London next week.

After watching Brokeback Mountain I feel it's going to be very dificult to see a movie as good as this one in 2006.
I left the theatre with my eyes very very red.
I am still feeling very emotional after watching it. It is an absolute wonder. Heath Ledger is brilliant and so is Jake Gyllenhaal.
