Hollywood LookAlikes Jessica Chastain Vs. Bryce Dallas Howard: Battle of the Redheads

In my Hollywood LookAlikes: Hilary Swank Vs. Jennifer Garner post, I asked whether celebrities sometimes pass themselves off as each other. Recently, Jessica Chastain admitted to Jimmy Fallon that she pretends to be Bryce Dallas Howard. Apparently, fans commonly call Chastain by Howard’s name.
Can you spot the difference between these actresses?
I watch movies with an eagle eye and elephant ear. And I’ll admit that it took me some time to separate Charlize Theron from Uma Thurman. So, I can understand why some people could confuse Jessica and Bryce.

Both girls are sexy redheads without prevalent freckles. You don’t see that everyday. Plus, these 2 actresses played in The Help together. How many lookalikes can say they’ve been in the same movie?
However, if you look closely you’ll see Bryce’s blue eyes and Jessica’s emeralds. Moreover, Jessica stoops three inches shorter at 5’4”. You see they’re not identical twins like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. The pair is more like Mary and Elizabeth Olsen.

Both girls were born in March. But Bryce Dallas Howard is a Pisces and Jessica Chastain is an Aries. Additionally, Jessica has 38 years compared to Bryce’s 34.
Check out The Martian movie review @ Guru Jay. Jessica Chastain doesn’t disappoint moviegoers, critics, and science geeks. She plays the perfect role as mission commander.
Have you seen Jurassic World? Bryce Dallas Howard helps to make this the highest grossing movie of the year thus far. What is it about those astronauts and dinosaurs we find fascinating?

Despite Chastain having an age advantage, Howard is a more experienced actress due to genetics. Her father is none other than the Hollywood king Ron Howard. That’s why Bryce has been doing movies since 1989. This doesn’t take away from Chastain’s excellence. Quite the contrary, she studied at Juilliard like Nicole Beharie.
I like them both, but Jessica Chastain wins this Battle of the Redheads.

The Martian Movie Review

The Martian Movie Review

If you’re a regular at Guru Jay, you know The Martian is my kind of movie. I expect this film to be number 1 at the box office for the third consecutive week. Numbers indicate that The Martian might become director Ridley Scott’s best movie ever.
Tonight, my initial thought was: what are comedians Kristen Wiig and Donald Glover doing in this particular piece? After viewing the film, now I realize that they are three-dimensional actors. Who can complain about this wonderful cast? Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Mara, Michael Peña
The Plot
Matt Damon plays an astronaut (Mark Watney) stranded on Mars because his crew abruptly aborts their mission due to a severe storm. His crewmembers leave him behind thinking he’s dead. However, the determined character lives through this tribulation and awaits rescue.
Luckily, Watney’s a botanist who figures out how to grow food for survival purposes. “The Martian” finally contacts NASA, who already gave him a memorial. Soon, the public learns he is alive. Then, the whole world prepares for his return home safely.

Typically, it would take 4 years to travel to Mars. However, Watney may come home earlier than imagined because of a fortunate discovery. Without a doubt the proposition is risky. What option will NASA take?
Jessica Chastain plays mission commander Melissa Lewis. To her credit, she never wanted to abandon Watney. Nonetheless, she is pivotal to the storyline. I won’t spoil it any further for you. If you’re into science, go check it out.

Closing Thoughts

The cinematography is on point. The Martian is realistic and futuristic as possible. The audience will enjoy spectacular visual effects aligned with technology’s capabilities. We must acknowledge Andy Weir’s great literary contribution.
My main criticism is the movie progresses slowly. Whenever we watch Matt Damon we’re used to seeing fast action-packed scenes. In spite of this, I believe The Martian is brilliant. This is Matt Damon’s magnum opus. You won’t find a carbon copy.
