Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a bright and charming high-school student who also has a dark and willfully eccentric side; he does little to mask his contempt for many of his peers and enjoys challenging the authority of the adults around him. Donnie is also visited on occasion by Frank, a monstrous six-foot rabbit that only Donnie can see who often urges him to perform dangerous and destructive pranks. Late one night, Frank leads Donnie out of his home to inform him that the world will come to an end in less than a month; moments later, the engine of a jet aircraft comes crashing through the ceiling of Donnie's room, making him think there might be something to Frank's prophesies after all. The rest of Donnie's world is only marginally less bizarre, as he finds himself dealing with his confused parents (Mary McDonnell and Holmes Osborne), his college-age sister (Maggie Gyllenhaal), his perplexed analyst (Katherine Ross), a rebellious English teacher (Drew Barrymore), a sleazy self-help expert (Patrick Swayze), and the new girl at school who is attracted by Donnie's quirks (Jena Malone). Donnie Darko was the first feature film from writer and director Richard Kelly; Drew Barrymore, who plays teacher Karen Pomeroy, also lent her support to the project as executive producer. A director's cut played in select theaters on a limited basis in the summer of 2004, featuring original music cues and trimmed scenes originally in Kelly's first cut of the film.

Touches On Alternate/Parallel Realities
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: wisdomseeker

Due to my burgeoning interest in supernatural/celestial movies, I purchased this dvd of Donnie Darko; The Director’s Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) on February 12, 2015. As many people know, this movie is about a Virginia teenager named Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) who appears to be the only one who is able to see a spirit who has already died and crossed over to another world named Frank (James Duval). Donnie Darko is naturally at first leery of communicating with Frank but starts to trust him a little more after his life is saved from an aircraft crashing in his room. Both his parents Rose and Eddie Darko (played by Mary Mcdonnell and Holmes Osborne) and his siblings Elizabeth and Samantha Darko (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal and Daveigh Chase) care about Donnie Darko in their own way. However, even they are unsure on how to deal with what appears to be insane mind even though Donnie Darko’s unconventional communications with Frank allow him to glimpse into the future. Donnie Darko’s world brightens a bit when he falls in love with a teenage female named Gretchen Ross (played by Jena Malone) who is a newcomer to the Middlesex Virginia area. There are a number of other multiple famous people featured on this dvd; such as the late Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Seth Rogen, Ashley Tisdale etc.). However, the ending made me understand why my husband politely told me that it was a good thing that I had my Shania Twain concert dvd and a Strawberry Shortcake movie to watch for cheering me up afterwards. Even then, I would still watch Donnie Darko again (especially since I own the dvd), but I would definitely still have something uplifting to watch afterwards. The following are some of the extras associated with this Donnie Darko movie: dvd is divided up into two dvd discs and would also be of interest to aspiring writers/scriptwriters as well as movie buffs; disc one has audio commentary with writer/director Richard Kelly and Director Kevin Smith, disc two has Donnie Darko production diary (with optional commentary by director of photography Steven Poster), They Made Me Do It Too-The Cult of Donnie Darko, Storyboard to Screen Featurette, and Director’s Cut Theatrical Trailer. Last, but not least, there is the feature of The #1 Fan; A Darkomentary; Darryl Donaldson, a Donnie Darko movie fanatic, is shown meeting James Duval (actor who voiced Frank) and meeting various people affiliated with the movie at a San Diego California Comic Con. One more thing; there are various pop culture references in the Donnie Darko film such as; snippets to the song Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears, a homage to Tears For Fears with the feature of The Mad World song and a scene where Donnie Darko’s younger sister is part of dance troupe called Sparkle Motion (dancing to the song Notorious by Duran Duran) plus more pop culture references which would probably take up the length of another review.

Festival Preparation
on July 24, 2015

Strawberry Shortcake The Berryfest Princess Movie follows Strawberry Shortcake and her community of friends as they get ready for the BerryFest festival. Both Strawberry Shortcake and Orange Blossom are aiming to be elected in order to play important roles in the parade. This movie appears to be aimed towards showing children (in a fun way) the elements of what goes into an election because of the conception around what goes into voting with roles of speechwriter and campaign manager being used in this movie. There are also positive lessons of coming together such as a scene in the forest where Strawberry Shortcake and other members of her community encounter a large beautiful pink bird that needs help in being able to fly. She and her cohorts are faced with the decision of whether or not to feed the bird the nourishing and colorful berry that is traditionally used in the Berry Big Parade and the Festival. The extras accompanying this dvd; A Berry Royal singalong centered around the idea of true friends and printable color pages that can be accessed via a computer cd drive. Then there is a dvd trailer for what looks like the following movie; Strawberry Shortcake The Glimmerberry Ball. From the perspective of an aspiring writer, the Strawberry Shortcake The Berryfest Princess movie gives a story plot angle of the strength in numbers element that can occur when a group of people come together for the greater good.

Queen Classics

Greatest Hits II by Queen is another music cd from my husband’s music collection. This edition opens with the song A Kind Of Magic. I Want It All, I Want To Break Free,The Miracle, and The Invisible Man (interesting references to the FBI and CIA in the song) are also among the multiple worthwhile songs on this classic rock music collection.

Otherworldly Music Soundtrack?
on July 24, 2015
Posted by: wisdomseeker
from Hyattsville Maryland
I eventually purchased this 12 song music set of The Guardians of the Galaxy; Awesome Mix Vol. 1 soundtrack due to being curious about the music featured in the movie as well as seeing this cd featured both at my job and online (fortunately, my husband and I had the chance to see the Guardians of the Galaxy when it hit the movie theaters last summer). The songs are from what sounds like the 70’s era, yet a multiple number of the songs are elevating to hear (my current personal favorites from this Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack are Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede, Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum, as well as tracks 6,10, and 11. However, there is something for many eclectic music lovers on this Guardians of the Galaxy music soundtrack set.

Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams by Thirty Seconds to Mars is a collection of songs that bridge on elements of futuristic type of rock music paired with unconventional relationship elements. There are the popular songs Up In The Air and City of Angels. Then there are other songs that may not have gotten equal radio play yet are still sterling indie rock/electronic rock songs such as Bright Lights, Do or Die, and Convergence.

Man With A Movie Camera by Cinematic Orchestra has some relaxing tunes that combine movie like classic type music with calming type of sounds that are perfect to relax to in the evening time. Songs such as Reel Life (Evolution II), Man With The Movie Camera, Voyage, and Magician touch on music genres that are a supreme combination of classical and chillout music.

Zen X Four by Bush is a live concert version of many of the hits that made the band famous such as; Machine, Comedown, Glycerine, and Everything Zen (including acoustic versions of some songs). Zen X Four by Bush is best for those who are familiar with and/or like hard rock music from the mid to late 1990's.

A Day Without Rain by Enya is also the fourth cd in my husband’s collection that I greatly enjoy as well. I personally know that my spouse has had this cd since at least Japan because he played A Day Without Rain by Enya a lot during our first months of meeting and knowing each other in Japan. A Day Without Rain by Enya has multiple gorgeous and beautiful songs within this collection such as A Day Without Rain, Wild Child, Only Time (which was also featured in the Sweet November movie starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron). Anyhow, A Day Without Rain is perfect for those who enjoy music fusions of new age, chillout, and classical music genres.

First Rate Gorillaz Music
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: wisdomseeker
from Hyattsville Maryland
Demon Days by The Gorillaz is a cd collection that I purchased for my husband as a birthday gift around 2005/2006. On the plus side, he liked the cd and there was even one of the songs at one of the end that he told me yesterday that he likes. Demon Days by Gorillaz also includes the well-known and catchy alternative rock song Feel Good. Dare is also a musically strong song on Demon Dayz. However, Demon Days by Gorillaz is also one of those alternative rock collections that you can play multiple times and end up liking the songs within the collection more and more on each listen.

Unadulterated Eminem
on July 17, 2015
Posted by: wisdomseeker
from Hyattsville Maryland
Yes, Eminem is a controversial public figure, however The Eminem Show by Eminem is another cd (hip-hop collection) that I found in my husband’s music collection in order to open my mind to the type of music he likes (this was another cd that he purchased around the time that it was released, which would mean that he either purchased it in Iceland or Japan). Cleanin Out My Closet and Without Me are some of the popular and thought provoking songs that are on The Eminem show. However, I admit to finding Soldier also to be a buzzworthy type of song because of the controversy that still brews today among people from various walks of life on what is best for the military industrial complex system and manpower discussions (especially in the wake of recent online news that the Army is scheduled to implement a massive troop cut). Nonetheless, The Eminem Show by The Eminem is also a strong cd for those who are eclectic music collectors of music from the early 2000’s.
