About Me

Mr. Darko

I started this blog to express my opinion on all of the movies I watch, and to see if I can find any like minded individuals. I am an avid movie watcher of all genres, although my favourites are horror and sci-fi. I very much like seeking out foreign cult favourites and lesser known movies. I have no problem with subtitles or low budgets. I will be reviewing every movie I watch and giving you my two cents. Feel free to leave your opinion or suggest a movie for me to watch.

Movies:
I like watching pretty much anything, as you cant tell by my generally always positive reviews of the mainstream Hollywood flicks to obscure horror films. I also love movie posters, and the artwork is what usually decides which version of the DVD I buy, although I have a tendency for buying special editions, or anything with a cool box. I always have trouble listing my favourite of anything, and the movies list is constantly changing as I watch more and more movies. Some of my favourites are: Donnie Darko (hence the name), True Romance, Boogie Nights, Night Watch, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. 

T.V.:
Of course, with my love of movies comes a love of T.V., while I don't currently have a T.V. I do keep up with a couple of shows, and Netflix comes in handy there as well. One of my favourite things about T.V. series is that the don't have to end in only 2-3 hours. Some shows I watch/watched include:
  •  Lost (I watched it till the end)
  • Fringe (J.J. Abrams makes some of the best, although I am behind this season)
  • Shameless [U.S.] (one of the best shows on the tube)
  • Republic of Doyle 
  • True Blood
  • Firefly (Why, why did you cancel it?!)
  • American Horror Story (can't wait for season 2)
  • Dexter (I just spent the last 2 months watching all 6 seasons, can't wait for the 7th)
I guess that list is getting a little long, but those are my favourites/shows I keep up with. I do believe that Showtime, HBO and AMC are the best channels that make some of the best shows. This summer I plan to watch Six Feet Under, Carnivale, and maybe Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Music: I have a rather random taste in music, but it's mostly alternative. That being said my playlist at the time of writing this was The White Stripes, Beastie Boys and the soundtrack to Boogie Nights, so things get random.
