How can someone go from directing Donnie Darko to this - is beyond me. And what was Frank Langella doing in it?
There's only one person more talentless than James Mardsen and that's Cameron Diaz. Oh, what a joy they star together!

The box, the latest movie from Richard Kelly ( Donnie Darko) is an unusual movie that tells the story of a small wooden box that arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know. It is a psych...( read more)

"Donnie Darko" fue una estupenda pelicula y "Southland Tales" fue una horrenda atrocidad. "The Box" se situa mas o menos en medio; empieza con una premisa interesante y gradualmente se torna en una de las peliculas mas absurdas y bizarras del año. Uno tiene la corazonada que Kell...( read more)
Nothing seems like it is and nothing is as easy as it comes....The movie really is mysterious and for a moment I got scared because of the scene and the weird music playing. This film is not as complicated as it seems or looks, it's a very good movie and even though the acting re...( read more)
