"28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds...that is when...the world...will end."

Few movies leave you with a sense of awe in the way that they were made and how they left you. "Memento" comes to mind. The line on the box for the movie says "It'll knock you flat!! **** " It isn't kidding. At first it seems a little odd...a teenager visited by a giant evil rabbit that tells him to do things?? Weird....but that's only the surface. What you don't see is the brilliant world of "Donnie Darko." To me, this was an incredible movie...one that I haven't been able to get out of my head for the past few days. Without giving anything away, you find that Donnie's world has a real sense of purpose, but the buildup to revealing that purpose is the best part of the journey. Some may find it hard to follow, but if you watch it (like "Memento"...however, this movie goes in a "normal" sequence of events) you will agree that this is one of the best movies in recent memory.
