Fine, Jake, fine. I’ll say it: cool t-shirt. Not many people can pull off “novelty t-shirt,” but you, Mr. Gyllenhaal, clearly have “it.” My only concern is that he looks a little glum.  Someone get him a sandwich, that always seems brighten him up.

UPDATE: A few people are calling Photoshop on this one. I was willing to believe it, but taking a closer look, I have  to agree with them (the graphic doesn’t follow the contour of the shirt, especially near the crease, and the blacks are darker than anything else in the photo). But let’s have our fun before someone sends me the original as definitive proof.

"Awesome story, Jake! Sandwich bump!"

This one is clearly not Photoshopped.

Sci-fi action flick Source Code opens April 1st and Summit just made available the first five minutes for you to watch online.  As a general rule, there aren’t too many decent mainstream, wide-release Hollywood sci-fi movies anymore, but this one was directed by Duncan Jones, previously of the acclaimed Moon, who’s not only seen as an up and comer by sci fi nerds, but also holds the distinction of being possibly the only person in entertainment who changed his stage name to something less fancy.  Thanks to his dad being David Bowie, he was born “Zowie Bowie,” which he changed to Duncan Jones when he was 18.  I think a good way to tell you’ve failed at baby naming is if your kid decides he wants to be called “Duncan” while he’s still a teenager.

Anyway, the plot of Source Code is that the government has developed the technology to allow Jake Gyllenhaal to relive the last eight minutes of another guy’s life before he was awesomely exploded in a terrorist train bombing.  They want Jake to find the terrorist and prevent the next bombing, but of course all he wants to do is bang the dead guy’s dead girlfriend.  But is eight minutes enough time to convince a girl to bang you on a train when she doesn’t even know you’re a famous movie star?  Find out this April.

VINCE’S DISCLAIMER: I didn’t make a list of worst movies this year because to do it fairly, I would’ve had to knowingly subject myself to terrible movies. I don’t care what anyone says, you do that often, eventually it’s going to mess you up.  Ever read a film critic who’s seen every Katherine Heigl ass-pile (or whatever the equivalent of Heigl was in 1983) for the last 30 years?  They slowly go insane, they start recommending films like Atonement. Poor Peter Travers used to be the best critic around.  Now he feeds his scabs to pigeons and buries herring in his garden to commemorate krystallnacht.  I don’t believe in seeing every movie and pretending I don’t already have a pretty good idea which ones are going to suck.  Snobby as it may sound, I’m trying to not ruin my taste buds by purposely scalding them on microwaved chili biscuits from Am/Pm.  But I know how people love lists of bad movies. Luckily, for that we have Burnsy. You think that guy worries about his taste?  Dude lives in Orlando. [/end disclaimer]

Putting together a Top 10 list is a grueling process in any genre, but I found the feat of selecting the 10 worst movies of 2010 to be downright painful. It’s primarily difficult because these movies are atrocious piles of cow flop that should cause unparalleled levels of shame to be cast upon the families of everyone involved in them. It was also painful because I watched so much crap this year, and there was so much more crap that I could have watched but just couldn’t. Seriously, The Bounty Hunter? I don’t have the will power to not throw my TV into traffic. But here’s the thing – I enjoy watching terrible movies so much more than great movies because I live to criticize. Vince can tighten his scarf and crank Florence + The Machine from his hybrid IROC while he raves about Hesher, but by all accounts Hesher is a great movie, so nobody’s going to argue.

Here’s the trailer for Source Code, starring Jake Yillinhoolahey and Michelle Monaghan, directed by Duncan Jones, previously of Moon (aka David Bowie’s son, Zowie — seriously).  The one-sentence concept?  In a Quantum Leap-esque conceit, soldier Jake Gyllenhaal can trade places with any other person and relive the last eight minutes of their life.  To catch a terrorist, he trades places with a guy who died in a train explosion. He has eight minutes to save the world, but Jake being Jake, he bangs the guy’s girlfriend first.
