Donnie Darko The Directors Cut 2004 DVDRip XviD-PTi
My first old pick has to be “Donnie Darko”, which was released by ViTE on February 18, 2002 (on good old DivX). Odds are you’ve heard about this movie, but for anyone who hasn’t, this is seriously a must get. I’m going to let the synopsis sum up the storyline, because the movie is much more than just the story. It’s about the atmosphere, the dialogs, the soundtrack, the feel and how it is portrayed visually.
Much of “Donnie Darko”’s appeal has to do with the fact that it is a small, low budget (less than $5 million) film that won a huge following of viewers who have become fascinated with it and raise theories about events in the movie to this day. This is evident by the fact its been rated by over 131,000 people on IMDB. Considered a cult classic, the movie hasn’t lost its charm 7 years after its limited release. I doubt it will for years to come. Maybe it’s because it just doesn’t come across as pretentious. It’s a wild ride that is consistently interesting, humorous and romantic, and it stays with you for days after you’ve watched it. Jake Gyllenhaal does an incredible job here, and it’s safe to say that this film made him. No one knew who he was before this role. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake’s real-life sister, who has become quite a popular actress herself, is in the movie too, playing who else but his sister.
The cast also includes Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze and Jena Malone. Amazingly, this cinematic success is the work of a relatively anonymous Richard Kelly, who hasn’t done much worth mentioning since, possibly with the exception of his upcoming film “The Box (2008)”, but that literally remains to be seen. “Donnie Darko” scores an average of 8.3 on IMDB and 83% on RT, and should be appreciated fully in this Director’s Cut, released by group PTi in 2004.
Hope you enjoyed reading, and even if you skipped everything and just went for the download that’s fine with me. I’ll appreciate any feedback on this post and the staff picks idea in general - too long? too boring? liked it? maybe this post made you discover a new film? Thanks.
Synopsis: In a funny, moving and distinctly mind-bending journey through suburban America, one extraordinary but disenchanted teenager is about to take Time’s Arrow for a ride. October 2nd, 1988: just another ordinary day in Donnie Darko’s teen-aged existence. He’s taken his medication, watched Dukakis and Bush debate, and had dinner with the family. Then comes an outrageous accident. Out of the blue, a 2,000 pound jet engine plummets from the sky and crashes into Donnie’s bedroom, obliterating it. Luckily, Donnie isn’t in bed. Or is it luck? As Donnie begins to explore what it means to still be alive, and in short order to be in love, he uncovers secrets of the universe that give him a tempting power to alter time and destiny.
