Good movie

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2004)

ALright, I just picked up Donnie Darko last weekend, and got around to popping it in the DVD player tonight. I was under the influence from rave reviews from friends this was going to be a comedy or Dark Comedy. I wouldn't say it was much of a comedy, my mother thought it was a very dark movie. It was done in a weird-sense but I did enjoy the film. Along with the enjoyment upon arrival of the credits scrolling upon my screen I responded with "what the hell was that"
I would have to say chalyss summary hit the nail on the head. What I thought they had missed was in Jim Cunningham's home there was a painting of Frank also at the ending with the short clip of frank with his drawings he touched his eye. It would have made sense had they introduced Frank earlier in the film or shown the connection of between donnie and frank. All I could draw from it was that possibly Donnie's sister's boyfriend was Frank ( she was on the phone with someone earlier in the film and i couldn't recall it entirely)
Overall I enjoyed the movie, it had some awesome imagery and an interesting use of surround sound. Check it out! it was only 10 bucks at Fry's.
