I can’t say enough good things about this movie!
Serenity was written by Joss Whedon, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fame. It’s based on characters from his short lived TV show “Firefly”, which was quite unfairly cancelled by Fox.
Looks like Joss is having the last laugh. The movie opened with a gross of 15 million.
I won’t give any spoilers to the movie here. Let’s just say this: do you remember how you felt the first time you saw “The Empire Strikes Back?” Serenity will make you feel that way.
Five stars!
I’d heard absolutely nothing about this movie, other than it was supposed to be really good. I wasn’t disappointed.
Donnie Darko is a troubled sixteen year old guy, who suddenly starts being visited by a six foot tall rabbit, who tells him that the world is going to end, and gives him an exact figure of when that’s going to happen.
The movie is full of mystery. All the while you’re thinking ‘is this really going on, or not?’
Filled with practically an all star cast, the film has some suprising faces, such as Patrick Swayze, Noah Wyle and Drew Barrymore.
The ending was not what I expected, although it seems to be the only one to make any sense.
Since this is my first review on this site, I’ll go with the time tested ’star rating.’ I rate Donnie Darko 4 1/2 stars. Now to find a way to make that graphical…
