DONNIE DARKO
starstarstarstar
Writer-director Richard Kelly's ingenious debut feature gets off to a shaky start, but by the time the movie finally shows its hand in the final reel, every piece of the puzzle has slipped neatly into place. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Donnie Darko, a suburban high-school student who, like a lot of teenagers, feels awkward, misunderstood and alienated. But Donnie is particularly troubled: He's being haunted by a giant, dirty rabbit, and is nearly killed when a jet engine crashes through his bedroom ceiling. Read the complete review for Donnie Darko

Monday, January 21, at 11 am, 9:30 pm/ETStanding the Shadows of Motown | FLX The Supremes, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye and the Four Tops are all household names, but can anyone tell me who actually played the music we now call the Motown Sound?

Jena Malone Takes Pride in Prejudice

Of all the multinominated films vying for Academy Awards this Sunday, Pride & Prejudice may be the most overlooked. The latest adaptation of Jane Austen's ageless tale picked up four nominations — including a best-actress nod for Keira Knightley — but its buzz is nowhere near that of higher-profile contenders such as Walk the Line and Brokeback Mountain. Jena Malone, who plays Knightley's on-screen sister Lydia is a bit skeptical of putting too much stock in awards, but she hopes the extra attention will bring new audiences to the film. TVGuide.com found this out when we spoke with Malone about the classic romance's arrival this week on DVD. TVGuide.com: Be read more

Would it be possible for you ...

Question: Would it be possible for you to tell me the name of the song used in the Sept. 29 episode of CSI? It was also used in an episode of Third Watch.


Answer: Oh, what the heck. I haven't done that many song questions recently, so why not? I've mentioned Gary Jules' version of Tears for Fears' "Mad World" before, but producers keep using his take, which was most memorably featured in Donnie Darko. If you love it — and you should, despite its frequent use — you can find it on his 2004 album Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets (Universal).
