	Donnie Darko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the viewer is introduced to the Darko family, Donnie Darko is awoken in the night from his sleep on October 2 and led out of his house by a strange voice, where he is confronted by a demonic looking man-sized rabbit named Frank.
		Donnie's psychiatrist informs Donnie that his pills are placebos and tells him he is an agnostic, as opposed to an atheist as Donnie himself thought.
		When Donnie’s mother calls to say she’s catching the red-eye flight back, the airport announcement in the background says “Flight 2806 is boarding at gate 42 and leaving at 12 am.” This is a reference to the countdown, 28:06:42:12, Frank reveals.

		Donnie is a young high school kid living in suburbia who doesn't fit in.
		Donnie also has a new girlfriend, she seems like everyone else but her life by no means is perfect.

		Donnie Darko is not a film for people who like their movies to make concrete sense - concluding with a neat red bow on top.
		In Darko, however, a vast amount of time is given to developing and perusing the idea of time travel, which would suffice for the "act of god" in the case of our amazing movie.
		Donnie Darko is well scary a canni figure out what it is aboot, frank is pure hevy scary.

	Donnie Darko (soundtrack) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Donnie Darko is the soundtrack to the film Donnie Darko (2001), whose score was composed by Michael Andrews.
		As Donnie Darko was not a hit at first, there was little interest in the soundtrack in the US.
		This sparked interest in the soundtrack and in the song "Mad World," taken from the original soundtrack, was a 2003 Christmas Number One in the UK singles chart.

	DONNIE DARKO - DVD
		Donnie Darko, a tonal cross between Ang Lee and David Lynch, begins, for all intents and purposes, with a jet engine falling out of the sky and landing on the white-picket Darko residence, a freak occurrence that would have killed Donnie had he not been on one of his somnambulant strolls.
		No, Donnie Darko's missteps are an unfortunate acting turn from executive producer Drew Barrymore--she gets to do her troubled eighties over as an intellectual, but both the character (an anti-censorship English teacher) and the performance are ill-conceived--and an excess of supporting parts.
		Donnie's friends get lost in the shuffle (though their Smurfs discussion single-handedly justifies the period setting), as does a rotund voyeur in a red tracksuit.

		The teenager (the titular Donnie Darko) might be schizophrenic it is hinted: ominously he stopped taking his medication and he is seeing a shrink.
		Donnie Darko has all the signs of a cult movie in the making however: the On-line Film Critics Society nominated it as one of their top 100 sci-fi movies of all times recently and general Internet buzz is strong.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews: Donnie Darko
		Donnie Darko is a product of, and a reaction to, a universe that doesn't always play fair, where the virtuous innocent are as vulnerable to nonjudgmental Fate as anyone else, and where genuine human quality rarely trumps popular banalities.
		At its ample heart, Donnie Darko is a simple, oft-told story — a defiant, bright teenage boy trying to make his place in an unsympathetic world run by rules he struggles to comprehend, and on his journey he finds strength through the tragic love of the only girl who understands him.
		What Donnie chooses to do (or not) may be of literally history-making importance, and when his moment of clarity arrives he sees that a single action, preordained by a confluence of people and events that snap together like Zeus's personal Lego blocks, involves giving a rebellious "fuck you" to the rules of Time and Fate.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Donnie Darko
		The title protagonist, Donnie Darko is a troubled high schooler living in an affluent Virginia suburb during the fall of 1988.
		Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a brilliant kid, but he's deeply disturbed: he has flouts from which he awakes without any idea of where he's been, and is periodically visited by a giant rabbit named Frank, which informs him that the world is going to end in twenty-eight days.
		One of the most unusual films I have seen in a long time, "Donnie Darko" is as original as it gets and it thoroughly enjoyable throughout, all the way up to an ending I certainly didn't expect, which left me feeling rather sad for the primary character.

		Actually, Donnie is borderline delusional, beset by visions of a monstrous rabbit, which is trying to keep him under its sinister influence.
		Prompted by this apparition, Donnie commits antisocial acts while he is undergoing psychotherapy, surviving the vagaries of high-school life and romance, and fortuitously escaping a bizarre death from a falling jet engine.
		Donnie battles his demons, literally and figuratively, in a series of intertwining story lines that play with time travel, fundamentalist gurus, fate, predestination and the machinations of the universe.

	Donnie Darko
		Story Line: Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a high school student whose life is saved by his vision of a person obviously wearing a rabbit outfit with a weird and twisted rabbit mask ready to do some serious trick or treating on Halloween.
		Donnie allegedly gives her some level of comfort by telling her that things will be better "next time." Cherita is overweight and is made fun of because she is Asian; some boys tell her to "go back to China." When she does her classical interpretive dance solo in a school play she is booed.
		Donnie Darko is a movie that deserves a greater audience than it will likely achieve.

		Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal, dusting himself off after the indignity of Bubble Boy) is sixteen and one of the brighter students at the Middlesex Catholic private school he attends.
		Donnie has the air of a kid who's spent a lot of time on his own reading and thinking.
		I wouldn't dream of giving away the myriad twists and turns, particularly the one on which the whole quivering apparatus is founded; though this isn't an a-ha!, the-main-character-is-really-[fill in the blank] thriller in the mold of The Sixth Sense, it really should be experienced as virginally as possible.

		In Donnie's previous session he'd threatened that Frank was going to kill someone, so it's assumed that Dr. Thurman had to tell his parents that Donnie was threatening to commit a crime, and she believed he would, as by law.

	DVD Verdict Review - Donnie Darko: Director's Cut
		Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal, Moonlight Mile) is not a typical '80s teenager.
		Donnie believes that he will be able to save the world if he is able to learn the secrets of time travel quickly enough, but it's also possible that he's just crazy.
		The biggest addition to this version of Donnie Darko is the inclusion of the sequences that were on the original DVD as deleted scenes.

		Donnie’s mother Mary McDonnell) and father (Holmes Osborne) provide a happy home bit this happiness is not the cause of Donnie’s angst, against the usual format of Hollywood it is merely the backdrop for a much darker tale.
		As Donnie delves into the theory of the time space continuum he discovers that one of the leading experts in the field, Roberta Sparrow (Patience Cleveland), also known in the neighborhood as Grandma Death, lives near by.
		With Donnie Darko the thriller aspect is psychological and not the typical visceral and graphic as most films.

		Put aside the fact that Donnie is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia (as extra footage from the DVD release of the film shows, he may not have been so ill after all: Kelly had previously included a scene revealing that the medication Donnie was taking to make him better was a placebo).
		Second, Donnie is asking genuine questions about the world, in stark contrast to the apathy of his peers.
		He chose to opt out, and you could say Donnie Darko has done the same- wearing a ‘man suit’ not because he was transcending his context, but rather, escaping it.

	Donnie Darko (2001)
		Taken from the back cover of Donnie Darko, here’s my pick for the worst DVD blurb I’ve seen recently: “an all-star cast in a ‘classic psychological thriller!’” That description might work for some film out there, but it certainly has little to do with Darko.
		Donnie Darko appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Donnie Darko may end up as one of those “love it or hate it” movies, but I feel it definitely deserves your attention.

		Donnie's always had imaginary friends, but Frank is a singularly terrifying apparition.
		Harvey, he is a six foot rabbit with a gleaming silver face cast in a menacing, feral stare.
		Donnie Darko works on two fronts, both as homey surrealism and as a satire of the Reagan era (the hard, pouting stares of the dancing little girls catches the chilly nastiness of that time perfectly), and largely succeeds at both.

		Donnie's troubles may be chemical imbalances, so he takes medication which doesn't really seem to help.
		"Donnie Darko" also has, what must be considered as a sort of influence from the 80's film "Back to the Future." It is very sublime, but it is there.
		"Donnie Darko" is deep and complex and dark and troubling and melancholic.

	"Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut": The Strange Afterlife of an Indie Cult Film
		As "Donnie Darko" was being set for a late October release, the events of 9-11 created a violence-weary marketplace.
		Earlier this year, "Darko" composer Michael Andrew's piano-driven cover of Tears for Fears' "Mad World," prominently featured at the end of the film, surprisingly hit number one in the U.K., bringing new attention to the film and to the track's little-known vocalist, Gary Jules.
		Whatever the fate of "Donnie Darko" this summer, Kelly is working on his next feature, "Southland Tales," which he says isn't just another "dark, twisted, ambiguous, metaphysical science-fiction headtrip." He plans to start principal photography in late September and hopes to get a distributor signed on by the end of July.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Donnie Darko (2001)
		The difference between "Donnie Darko" and a big-budget extravaganza, however, is that the effects here serve a definite purpose that aid in furthering the story along, rather than to just be about flashiness.
		Mary McDonnell (1999's "Mumford") and Holmes Osborne (2000's "Bring It On") are warm and touching as Donnie's mother and father, whose understanding attitude toward their son refreshingly goes against the grain of typical movie parents and takes on a palpable realism.
		The picture culminates in a pre-Halloween party thrown by Donnie and his sister while their parents are away, the night before what just may be the end of civilization as they all know it.
