Georgia Rule (DVD)

...hatred. In an ironic move Georgia Rule is the story of a girl seemingly sliding down the same path as the actress that plays her. Something has happened in Rachel's life (Lohan), initially what is not quite known. But it appears to Lilly (Felicity Huffman) that the only way to handle this issue is to offload Rachel on her grandmother Georgia (Jane Fonda), her strict Mormon upbringing perhaps might turn Rachel's head. Unsurprisingly this is not something ...
...gets thrust upon him by Georgia so his usual receptionist can have some time off. Harlan (Garrett Hedlund) is the first to encounter Rachel, and it seems initially as if he wished he had not. Initially believing she is dead, after all why else would someone sleep under a road sign? Harlan is quickly accused of sexual assault by this wild child. But this relationship soon turns into a friendship, that is until sex raises his head. A rowing trip turns ...

Review of Georgia Rule (DVD)

This is the Directors Cut version of the film Donnie Darko. What this means is that basically you get a 20 minute longer version of the film (The original is 1 hour 49 minutes and the Director's Cut is 2 hours 13 minutes) and several extras. More detailed description of the content can be found later in the review. New viewers of Donnie Darko might be interested in a story outline and I shall provide. The film is set in 1988 in a small town in USA. ...
...also troubled teenager. Donnie is trouble by prophetic visions, and is told by a spectre that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. The movie then revolves around Donnie's quest to save the world, but also explores many side-storylines and themes, such as hypocrisy, love and school life. In fact, one of the beauties of the movie is the way it can be seen as so many different things: one can watch it for comedic value, ...

Review of Georgia Rule (DVD)

I bought this DVD from eBay I believe for about £7... This was a total bargain especially for a directors cut so shop around, there are definatley some good bargains to be had! STORYLINE - This is one of my favourite movies of all time just because of the sheer high quality of pretty much everything. The story in brief captures the life of a teenage boy in 80s suburbia, living a life that could have been... Guided or misguided by his imaginary friend ...
...of which Donnie tries to find himself. This film questions every persons take on space, time and reality... A seriously good film for people who like to think. CAST - Everyone who is in this film e.g. Jake Gylenhall ('Donnie') is of very quality as far as acting talent goes. They really enable you to be drawn into the story as you were living it. You can really see the superior quality of acting throughout the whole cast too. QUALITY / SPECIAL ...

Review of Georgia Rule (DVD)

This was actually the first version of Donnie Darko I saw, and in some ways i prefer it. There are some different choices of music, most noticeably the music used for the opening, and the inclusion of snippets of information read by Donni from "Grandma Death"'s book, which give some added depth to the story, and a few more keys to what might be going on. Overall this is a wonderful film, not only does it feature some typical teen movie aspects (love ...
