Good to be back again, though been around, keeping up viewing some of the best reviews of AAA members, but haven't been able to share mine and have got a lot to talk on, Christmas is here, bought some DVDs, and also subscribed on Netflix**

Donnie Darko is a movie directed by one of the most famous Hollywood's director and writer and it has a beautiful cast as the actors who performed the roles of the characters in the film showed remarkable talent in everyway you could imagine, honestly, I must say, this is actually the kind of movie I could watch again and again, Kelly as hit the bulls eye with this also as he had done to then and now films, people/Critics would say "Donnie Darko" is actually not among the best films of Richard Kelly but still it's one of the best movie made with a low budget, i must say...
One would easily argue the movie is a fully sci-fi super hero movie but that's actually not it but a solid psychological thriller that somehow gets better the longer you watch.

Donnie Dorker is a cult classic fantasy movie which i'm still amazed how the director managed to pulled off with such brilliance and even its one of the best endings i've seen in a movie.
Though it isn't one of the best movie considering its box office failure and not all aspects of the story really mesh together but it's still that low budget movie that captivates you from the first watch

Review: I really enjoyed watching this movie and the good thing about this I want to praise is its atmosphere and tone, The film is also well made made, clever, creepy and quite disturbing at the same time but what I like most about it is I had no clue where this film was going. Good performances from the cast as Jake Gyllenhaal does a weirdly good job being a freaky teen, he was brilliant in it and he made me like him even more(one of my fav. Actor)😊, Actually, everyone in the film does a nearly flawless job playing the characters they were assigned to.

Donnie Darko I just an excellent movie about parallel universe, which is very thoughtful, Dark, Captivating and directed, and i must say It will take a lot of watching to figure out what is going on but overall, It's a classic, Utterly lovable characters and expendable scores with a tasteful screenplay. Highly recommended!!
