Donnie Darko (Directors Cut): 9.2/10
I'll admit, I came into this movie with high expectations, and they were met! Donnie Darko gives you an incredible journey that's confusing in a way, but was still followable (I only watched the DR, apparently the original is much more confusing, dunno if that's a bad thing though). The story gives you a strange teen who is obviously suffering some sort of psychological issue and it gives you an experience where you'll find yourself asking a lot of questions throughout the film, how will everything fit together. Luckily in the DR, things DO fit together quite nicely (I heard in the original they don't, but some people preferred that) so what you're left with is an interesting film, full of some epic sequences, mind bending truths and a plot-line that is odd, strange and borderline insane. The true star of the show though, I believe, is the script.
I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.
Exit Through The Gift Shop: 7.9/10
So this is the second time I watched this movie and I have to say, after further analysis it wasn't really as good as I imagined it to be. Exit Through The Gift Shop is a smart, funny, documentary about a strange french man who video tapes everything, meets street artists and eventually builds his way to the top of the ladder in street artist fame. The story is more complicated than that obviously, but I won't go into it too much. I guess the problem is, it's funny and interesting for a documentary, but it's still a documentary. It's interesting and awesome because of the street art, but once you get around that it's relatively simple and, tbh, can get a bit less interesting at times. The movie is definitely worth a watch though, especially if you're passionate about street art!
