Darko follows Frank the rabbit into a hole, and puts his hand through a mirror. Total Lewis Carroll ripoff.

The Soloist-Technically, the movie could have been a lot better. The editing and execution left a lot to be desired. The story is just ok, but the fact that it's largely true makes it infinitely more interesting. Foxx and Downey Jr. make it worth watching, both were solid. Make sure you watch the extras for the interview with the real guys.

Finished Pygmalion and, for the most part, enjoyed it. It was like a sped up version of My Fair Lady (which could definitely use it) and without all the songs. ***1/2

i know they're both classics.. but i couldn't get into either one.. although i did like "pygmalion"
better.. i mean.. it's black and white.. it's a Janus film.. i love leslie howard.. and it's not a 3 hour musical...

I still don't like Donnie Darko five years after I first saw it.

High and Low was good but it's so tedious. The whole second half just completely switched gears and turned into a dry police procedural hunting down a culprit that wasn't very interesting. It got to be a chore at times.
