"Donnie Darko - face it, it sucks"

"His parents think he’s mental and send him to a shrink rather than talk to him, leaving Donnie with plenty of time to listen to esoteric tunes on the soundtrack that add depth and emotion to what is little more than a join-the-dots plot about time travel.

Oh, except it isn’t about time travel at all. It’s about parallel universes. But you won’t get that from the film, because it goes to great lengths to shout TIME TRAVEL TIME TRAVEL TIME TRAVEL at you until you wish for a DeLorean and Biff Tannen to rescue you from this turgid Red Dwarf nonsense."

Written by Goaty by the way, I happen to like it. But then, I 'cried' at the end of Eternal Sunshine. Psshaw.

I didn't miss anything... there was nothing to miss.
Just ending it like it did doesn't make it impressive.

It was enjoyable yes.

But the fact it alluded to so much, and pretended to say something was annoying.

I like the music though.

That sums up most of Starship Troopers too.

Yeah but then we're back at the fact that it doesn't need to be deeply thought out.

Mabye it's like the equivalent of one of those oriental sayings that's supposed to clear your head of all thoughts...

Mabye not.

I'll do you an overrated review of Sideways. If you like. Hated that film.

Will gladly rip the pee out of Shaun of the Dead for free.

I could dig up my Dead or Alive review: WORST FILM EVER.

Really enjoyed it, i dont care what all you followers think, it's become fashionable to s**g these sort of films once theyre not in vogue.
It's one of the few films i can watch over and over again and has far more depth than you give it credit for. You claim that it's all so bloody obvious, then why did you all have to watch it more than once to understand it?
Grrr you make me all so angry ;)

Goth.

No Flock.

It's decent. EXCEPT for the fact it goes on and on. About all these wild concepts. Yet tell me, what did it actually say? It said nothing at all, it just got a big mess of ideas and shoved them together and went LOOK! Amazing! Confusing! Meaningful!

Just watch something like American Beauty to see the difference in class.

The fact that it provokes interesting discussion between those that have seen it and enjoyed it proves the quality of the film too.
