cliff notes for newer movies??

can someone recommend a site that give a paragraph or two thorough summary of more recent movies? i've come to the realization that there are some movies that i probably will just never get around to watching... i'd like to know what happens in these movies, but i really don't think i'll devote the 100 mins to watching it.


requiem for a dream & donnie darko are 2 that come to mind

Check out The Movie Spolier. Also Sparknotes: Film Study Guides has some good info on classic films as well as some new ones, but has a limited selection.
