Donnie Darko
This one just came out in the UK now, 1 year after the USA!
Quite intriguing, a bizarre mix of teen movie, art-house and sci-fi.
Patrick Swayze is very good in his role of tacky 80's motivational speaker/child porn maniac. I always love the attention to art direction and costume in 'recent' period movies (70's and 80's), they also always choose the cars wisely.
Although there is very good photography and acting, the fact that it's a first movie shows through the desire of the director to show his skills, and he ends up trying to do too many things at once.
