Donnie Darko Analysis
Hipsters regularly tell me that Donnie Darko is a 'deep' film, and that 'it really makes you think.' When I tell them that it's a really awful and childish film and that I really hated it with ever fiber of my being, they tell me that I 'just didn't get it,' or that I need to watch it a second time because 'it's really difficult to understand.' But I didn't need to watch Donnie Darko a second time. I understood it just fine. I think I understood it better than the fans who claim to like the film so much.

"It was too green - an alien planet."
Excerpt from Twilight, describing Forks, Washington.
In Twilight Avatar, an ordinary, dull-as-dishwater human named Bella Swan Jake Sully, moves to a distant, "alien" location called Forks, Washington Pandora, where Bella Jake meets the love of her his life: a super-strong, sparkly, manufactured to ultimate sexiness, non-human being [vampire] [alien] who happe
Twilight: A Critical Literary Analysis
In 2005 Stephanie Meyer's book Twilight was published and found itself on the New York Times Bestseller list. Since then it spawned three sequels New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn and they have inexplicably become one of modern literature's biggest cash cows. However Twilight and its sequels are just awful books, and that's why I've taken it upon myself to explain just how poorly constructed these novels are. Stephenie Meyer's use of language is bland and excessive in its detail, and it worsens when she tries to pepper in fancy thesaurus-words but uses them erroneously. Her prose is plagued with dial
