You've created a whole new world.

Source Code

I had great expectations for Duncan Jones' follow up to his brilliant debut, Moon. This sci-fi thriller, about a soldier being used unconventionally to find a bomb on a train blended elements of Moon and Hitchcock, and was thoroughly enjoyable.

So basically Jake Gyllenhaal, a soldier, wakes up in the body of a man on a train, eight minutes before the train explodes. He must find the bomber and will continue to be sent back into the body of this man until he succeeds. Complicated? Yes. Jake Gyllenhaal is in good form as soldier Colter Stevens. I'm not the biggest Jake fan in terms of acting, I usually find his performances stiff and uninspiring (with a couple exceptions). But he did a good job in Source Code. He had a great sense of urgency and duty as soldier Colter Stevens and brought some good emotion to human Colter Stevens. Michelle Monaghan was basic as usual. Coupled with her awful styling, she was a bore and uninspiring. Though the role could've been written basic, Monaghan brought little life to her character.

The music and the intrigue are certainly Hitchcockian. If he were alive and directing now, he'd have made this movie. Putting pieces of a puzzle together and solving a crime by reliving eight minutes over and over again, sounds like 21st century Hitchcock to me. While Jones was clearly influenced by Hitchcock, he made Source Code a Duncan Jones film. Both this and Moon are sci-fi thrillers with males at the center. These heroes are figuring out their place in a world where they are pawns and must take back their lives. While this is only his second movie, he seems to be coming into his own and establishing Duncan Jones characters and plots. I really look forward to watching his career continue.

Great shots of Chicago with fantastic lighting and vibrant colors. I don't know what technology they used but this film just looks great. Source Code is definitely worth checking out.

David Tennant on Doctor Who

I can see why people are obsessed with this man. His fast-talking and endless energy are intoxicating and he's quite charming as the Timelord. Tennant is Scottish but you'd never know because his English accent appears effortless and flawless. I started watching Doctor Who because I'd heard such good things about Tennant and now I can't get enough of him. I dread when his reign as the Doctor ends.
