Film 266/365, Day 292/365 – Independence Day

I love action films and I love epic films... well, this is an epic action film so instantly I can’t help but love it.  It is however packed full of clichés and absurd American ideals and ridiculous speeches, but that aside it is a good fun action film on an epic scale.  Great fun.

Synopsis:  The appearance of Alien spaceships in the Earth’s orbit is greeted by mixed emotions, some believe they are here to save us where as other believe they are here for a more sinister purpose.  Soon it becomes quickly apparent that it wasn’t the first belief.  Will mankind perceiver against infinitely greater technology. 

Film 99/365, Day 106/365 – Donnie Darko

Dark and enthralling.  Jack Gyllenhaal is fantastic as the troubled Donnie who succumbs to Frank’s directions.  The story is absolutely captivating and whilst it is not a happy story it is definitely worth watching.  I can’t believe that this is the first time I have seen it, some ten years after it’s release.  Watch it.

Synopsis: Donnie Darko has some issues!  One night he is woken from his sleep and invited to follow Frank.  Frank is a giant Gothic looking rabbit who claims to be from the future and he has a message for Donnie, the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.
