Donnie Darko

I watched this movie because it was recommended by
a great friend of mine in 2003. I am so in love
with the story it is still on my top 10 movies of
all time. If you have not seen the movie, it is a
great rent or buy. Just do not get the Directors
cut. Like many movies before it, the directors cut
ruins many facets of the movie I loved the most.
The music in each scene sets a mood with the
viewers, and many songs were moved in the DC.
Trust me. Grab some popcorn, some beer, and watch
it in the dark!

Idiocracy

When I read the synopsis of this movie, I was
stunned. It was a brilliant idea, the downgrade of
society based upon the rapid reproduction of those
with little intelligence or morals. The people who
feed themselves with slapstick comedy and violence
becoming the ruling class is a funny outlook on
the future. But the movie itself focused on the
extreme retardation of society, not the growing
ignorance of it. Planes are being flown,
electronics are being created, and television
stations still were online.. Yet any showing of
intelligence from someone was considered "Fag
Talk." Every facet of social degradation was
emphasized to the point of redundancy. It is hard
for me to give a bad review to this movie because
I like where the directer was leading us, but the
road he took was ill conceived. By the time the
movie was half way over I was sick of the constant
onslaught on my senses. The good news is the
ending is just as bad as the rest, so this movie
can be cut down considerably by just turning it
off.
