Mark Lobo and Yuri Koskov-Koskov discuss Donnie Darko

Reviewers Comments...

Mark: Yuri, I really felt a strong bond with the characters in this film I felt they all had an individual story and all fit together perfectly. A great modern day film.

Yuri: Really? Well to be honest, I didnt like it. I found the film very pretentious and basically not at all what i expected. And in the case of this film, I really thought that this was a bad thing.

Mark: [shakes head] I have to strongly disagree with you on that. You can’t judge a film by the disappointment you experience based on false and unreasonable expectations, perhaps due to your tendency to get sucked in by every movie trailer you see. The movie was great.

Yuri: I wasn’t sucked in by a movie trailer. I just thought the whole thing was inappropriate. Normally I would praise a director for being brave enough to make a sequel which is wildly different to its predecessors - but I thought this was comically bad to be honest

Mark: What on earth are you talking about?

Yuri: I just thought it was a silly continuation of the series and Frank the rabbit was a very poor way to compensate for Doc not being in the film.

Mark: Did you even understand the film? Why are you talking about Doc?

Yuri: I just thought it was disappointing that he wasn’t in the film. They could have at least got Leah Thompson back to play McFly’s mother.

Mark: MCFLY? God, Yuri……. I knew you were a bit dim, but seriously; how could you possibly mistake Donnie Darko for a Back to the Future Sequel?

Yuri: What? You mean it wasn’t?

Mark: You fool! The fact that both movies have a common element of time travel doesn't make it a sequel! If that were the case then Legally Blonde would be considered a sequel to The Firm! WOULDN’T IT! [bangs fist on coffee table]

Yuri: well, either way, Jake Gyllenhaal is no Michael J. Fox.

Mark: Idiot… anyway, I loved this film; I give it a GPA of 7. Full marks. Yuri?

Yuri: I was going to give this movie a GPA of 2 but in light of this new information, I think I’m going to have to go watch it again
