"Donnie Darko" had some coolish elements, and I enjoyed the revelation about Frank (and just Frank in general), but the movie had many annoying aspects. Particularly concerning Noah Wylie's and Drew Barrymore's characters. The director had _frequent_ closeups and holding shots of them (and that malaysian/asian girl) as if something big was going to happen concerning them and it never did. They two teachers seemed to be "in the know" about what was going on. That stuff just annoyed me. I wanted to like the film, but didn't really.

Oh BTW, from many of your entries ago, I agree that "From Hell" sucked ass. Looked slick. But boring.

And what's all this about a movie call "Amelie" that everyone is talking (er, raving) about?
