proof positive...

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2003)

That the American moviegoing public is starved for anything, ANYTHING that strays even one iota from the Hollywood "norm". Fortunately, Donnie Darko strays about an iota and a half; it was entertaining, but "profound" seems like a stretch... though it is possible that I related to Donnie a little 'too' well (read: I am prone to 'magical thinking'). The movie's schizophrenic logic made perfect sense to me, to the point where it seemed thematicly obvious, cliched. But again, I enjoyed it, and perhaps I am crazy...
