What a mind job...

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

Heh, I finally managed to talk my mom into running me down to Blockbusters after hearing good reviews on the movie Donnie Darko. In the end, I don't regret my selection one bit. I mean, wow... what a movie. Really tends to make you think about things, causes you to wonder.
For those of you who are yet to have the pleasure of watching, Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a troubled young boy attending high school. While he may appear to be normal, Donnie is actually plagued by visions of an monstrous rabbit who not only orders him to commit acts of violence on the community, but predicts the end of the world as well.

The acting couldn't be better in my opinion, Gyllenhaal does an unforgettable (in my opinion) performance as Donnie. It's a shame that he was overlooked when it came to the the Academy Awards that year. Either way, Donnie Darko will forever be a winner in my eyes. The director, Richard Kelly, combines (dark) comedy with so much more and scores big. I give Donnie Darko a prefect 10/10. Enjoyed every frame.
