Donnie Darko? What kind of name is that?

So we just watched a movie that looked like it would be horrible. It talked on the back about a demonic bunny from the future, and other silliness, and it scared me. Not seeing it, just reading it. Seeing it, it was obviously not supposed to be funny, it was supposed to be fucked up in every possible way. It was actually *good*. The principles behind it made sense, though to tell them would give away the entire movie. The plot was tight, things tied together very nicely. Avery in particular, you should see it. It's the sort of thing that would amuse you. And the soundtrack is lovely. It's got the Church, and Joy Division, and Echo and the Bunnymen. (this being funny only because there really is a six foot B-rated bunny running around. He's just never made to be demonic. Just cryptic.) The final song is a lovely cover of a Tears for Fears song, using a piano and a cello. And do get it on the DVD, and look at the special features. It explains everything for those that didn't figure it out completely. Just don't read the back of the box, which makes it look like some sort of hideously bad movie that should be B-rated. It will make sense when you see it, I promise. I guess they couldn't really say anything more, seeing as it would give away the entire premise. And it's really funny. Very funny. Including people teling off all the worst sorts of teachers that you ever hated. And mass destruction. Yes. Very good movie. We thought it had to have been Canadian, it was so good. Like Ginger Snaps, which followed almost none of the proper horror movie rules. So when we still were expecting a horror movie and this one didn't conform, that's what we expected. But it was out of Hollywood.... Scary.
