Still Darklicious

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2004)

The Darkman is back! No, not another straight-to-video sequel of 'Darkman'. I am referring to the tormented juvenile schizophrenic "Donnie Darko', who has obtained a cult following since the film's release back in 2001. This is not a sequel to 'Donnie Darko', even though that would be one dark side I would have loved to revisit. The latest cinematic release of Darko is the Director's cut of the original. Therefore, I will release my own Meezer's cut of my original film review of 'Donnie Darko'. (Meezer Cuts are in italics)
Do not be afraid of the darko! Why? Because 'Donnie Darko' is one of the best and original films of 2001, and in 2004 it also made the cut. Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing as Donnie Darko. Donnie is just your average teenager who has schizophrenic visions of a demonic rabbit who tells him to flood his school and burn motivational speaker's mansions, among other things. Moreover, Frank the Rabbit (as he likes to be called) warns Donnie that the world will end in 28 days 6 hours 42 minutes 12 seconds; which is how long this revamped Meezer Cut Review will last! Just kidding! Talk about a real life rabbit test! Director Richard's Kelly debut film is, and still is, a masterpiece. Kelly is a director to watch out for in the future; even though he has not directed anything since Darko. One hit wonder anyone? I do not think that he will be left in the dark. The supporting cast of: Mary Mcdonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Jena Malone, Noah Wyle, and Drew Barrymore 'energized' the film with our bunny and Mr. Darko. So you should definitely see 'Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut ' in 1 day 1 hr 1 min 10 seconds or how long it takes you to get to your nearby store or in this case the theatre. ***** Still Excellent
