Donnie Darko

I just watched the movie Donnie Darko.

I loved this movie. I knew nothing about this movie before seeing it. I knew nothing about the director Richard Kelly either. It was completely whacked and defies description. I can't even give you a plot summary without sounding totally stupid, but here goes:

A troubled teenager tries to cope with the world even though an evil looking, six foot tall, rabbit keeps telling him what to do.

The acting was great, the characters were excellent, the plot was VERY original, the music was super, the editing and cinematography were top notch.

Spider Man 2 - (***) Green Light



Peter Parker's having a rough time. His double life as the superhero Spider-Man is having a devastating impact on his civilian life. Things are so bad he declares that he's quitting, and never putting on the suit again. However, his sense of duty forces him to become a hero again when the brilliant scientist Dr. Otto Octavius is deformed in an accident and becomes Dr. Octopus. With four metal tentacles sticking out of his back, he'll prove to be a more than worthy opponent for Spider-Man.



My expectations were too high for this movie. Too many good reviews saying it was the best superhero movie ever. So when I got in there I expected another VERY wet scene in the rain. You know it was the best part of the first movie! The best part was actually Dr. Octopus. We didn't get enough of his internal turmoil.

Knee Operation Number Four

Last Friday I had my fourth knee operation. That's an even two for each leg.

I must say that it went better than expected. That might be because I don't remember much until I stopped taking the pain meds on Monday. Now a week later I can walk without crutches and can straighten my leg out father than I could before the Op.
