Cameron Diaz's is turning to the dark side of Hollywood (after years of candyfloss like Charlie's Angels and Shrek) with this horror / sci-fi / thriller / moral dilemma flick from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly. Set in the 1970s, Norma (Diaz) and Arthur (James Marsden) are delivered a mysterious box to their door. In the box is a button. If you press the button you get $1 million. Also, someone in the world dies. Bummer. A sticky situation like no other, it's based on the original story "Button, Button" by I Am Legend writer Richard Matheson. So that's Donnie Darko director, check, story by reknowned author, check, and A-list star, check... this may just work.

Of course Donnie Darko is a masterpiece so I'm fairly confident this is going to be worth watching. ... Read More evildave69 About me
