Donnie Darko

"Donnie Darko is a 2001 psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, and Mary McDonnell. The film depicts the reality-bending venture of the eponymous character as he seeks the meaning and significance of his troubling end-of-the-world visions" Something strainge happen to me with this film and I will tell about. I didn't saw this film even thought I realy want to. I was waiting for my perfect mood for this because of his theme. Before couple of days I heard the song of the soundrack and stuck with it "Mad Word" and I adore the film before I saw it. So start watch the film realy biased... Donnie a boy from 80's thinks that he knows the time is going to die. Very dark and very interesting film about some serious metafysical questions from young people, but also a social satire, a science fiction time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive. I found this film weird and realy strainge but with the good way of words.
Le Pacte des loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf)

Brotherhood of the Wolf ( Le Pacte des loups literally "The Pact of the Wolves"), is a 2001 French movie directed by Christophe Gans, starring Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci, Émilie Dequenne and Mark Dacascos, and written by Gans and Stéphane Cabel. The actors all fit their parts beautifully, with the graceful Dacascos and luminous Bellucci having the most impact. Mani?s first foray into a rain soaked battle is a stunner. While supremely handsome, he?s also a fine actor with a piercing stare that shudder?s the soul. Bellucci is very much an actress cut from the same cloth, she?s also perfectionistically beautiful. The movie has something in it to appeal to just about everyone - religious politics, incestuous longing, a little gratuitous sex and nudity, savage fight scenes, a dollop of romance, and an impressive looking monster that is both more and less than it seems to be. In short, Brotherhood of the Wolf is daring in its approach and successful in its result - assuming the result is to provide pure entertainment to the viewer. I had more fun watching this film than I?ve had at the movies in a very long time Won: 2002 César Awards: Best Costume Design (Dominique Borg) Sitges Film Festival: Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver (Christophe Gans) Cabourg Romantic Film Festival: Best New Actress (Émilie Dequenne) 2003 Home Entertainment Awards (helded by Video Software Dealers Association): Foreign Language Title of the Year (Universal Studios Home Entertainment)
