this movie is phenomenal!!!

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I saw a preview for this movie when I rented some horror movie and instantly knew I had to rent it. Donnie Darko is seeing things. Rapidly it seems as though he is losing his mind, yet he remains lucid and clear-headed. Jake Gyllenhaal is an amazing actor. The way he looks at the mirror when he is talking to Frank is bizaar and hypnotic, almost making me want to touch the TV screen. When I rented it, I watched it two more times before I returned it, the clerk at Blockbuster almost had to rip it out of my hand. Everything about this movie is amazing. There is not one thing that I didn't like about it.
SPOILER AHEAD!!!!!!!
Patrick Swayze as a pedophile, who knew! I almost peed my pants when the news reported a "kiddie-porn dungeon" in Jim Cunningham's secret room! I cried when Donnie is holding Gretchen after she died, looking at that huge black cloud telling her that it's going to be okay. The music, score and soundtrack, is surreal and hearing Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was especially nice. Good movie, good music and good actors......I give this movie a 10 out of 10.
