Well...I could but didn't want to. Ha-ha.
If anybody knows by the title what I'm going to be ranting about now, congratulations. You don't win anything.
Okay, if you really want to...look this up on IMDB if you can't take my word for it that this movie is worth your time.
It's called Donnie Darko and it's the story of a teenage boy with "emotional problems" in October of '88.
He stops taking his medication and as a result, he sleepwalks. He has an argument with his family and is guilt-ed into taking his meds again. Despite this, on the night of October 2nd he sleepwalks and meets Frank.
Now, if Frank is not wearing the most disturbing bunny suit you have ever seen there is something terribly wrong with you. I'll put a better picture on the bottom of this post.
Frank begins convincing him to commit a series of crimes and that he can get away with anything, and on top of all this telling him that in "28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds...that is when the world will come to an end".
The movie has a bizzare plot that is strangely addicting and the same goes for the characters.
It's one of those "all-in-one" movies I guess. I thought so at least. It's got a little comedy, a little (don't get pissed at me for saying this if you've already seen it) romance, I jumped a couple times watching it at 1 AM, and it seems to belong on the Sci-Fi channel.
Only...it's not bad and the graphics aren't agonizingly cheap!
I will however admit that it can get a little boring at times and it kind of goes into these strange side-stories that seem to have nothing to do with Donnie and the actual plot of the movie.
But the movie is worth it. Plus for the ladies out there like myself, Jake Gyllenhaal is a cutie so the boring parts aren't so boring...;]
The cast includes: Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Daveigh Chase, and Patrick Swayze. It was made in 2001.
So here's Frank.
