Wednesday Jan 23, 2019
Love him or hate him, Jake Gyllenhaal has a pretty extensive film career for a man not even out of his 30s. From Oscar nominations to Roland Emmerich films, this better-looking Tobey McGuire has done it all. We start from the baby-faced, young Gyllenhaal in October Sky all the way through present-day, baby-faced Gyllenhaal in much stranger and more ambitious roles and determine, once and for all, his best performance ever.

With Glass just on the horizon, we here at Reel Phonies thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the ups, downs, and headscratchers that make up the complicated but surprisingly steady filmography of the one and only M. Night Shyamalan. We share our thoughts and insight on the hits (The Sixth Sense, Signs), the misses (The Last Airbender, The Happening), and the unclear (The Village, Split) and determine whether M. Night Shyamalan, as a concept, is better or worse than Michael Bay's Transformers. Is there a twist ending? Tune in to find out!
