Long ago, when I was 16 or so, in one of those father and son moments, my dad gave me some of that advice you will often get from fathers which seems not to make sense, and when you first hear it makes you think that your father is not so...
Pros: Christian Bale gives a tour-de-force performance that encapsulates the shallow Yuppie life. Cons: How many more movies do we really need about mass murder and depravity?
Patrick Bateman is “the boy next door,” according to one of his Wall Street colleagues. It’s what he does in his apartment next door that’s so disturbing.
If you’ve read Brett Easton Ellis’ controversial 1991 novel American Psycho...
Pros: Christian Bale commands the screen Cons: Too confusing of an ending
American Psycho is about a man devoid of all feelings and emotions, with the exception of "greed and disgust". He hates everything around him, which causes him much anguish, and so he feels that he must share his anguish and pain with...
Pros:Jared Leto and Christian Bale do wonderfully. Very scary. Cons: Annoying voice-overs causing a documentary like feel and a horribly disappointing ending.
After watching American Psycho, the first words out of my mouth were "I don't get it". After much debate with my boyfriend, I finally think I may understand.
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a professional...
Pros: A little funny at the start... Cons: Poor acting; blatantly obvious, unclever "satire"
Basically what you have in this movie is an all out assault against materialism and shallowness. At times I thought I was watching a commercial in this movie. It is fairly sleek, stylish and quite probably unlike anything you have ever seen. I...
Pros: Bale, slow in-depth story that is hard but enjoyable to see. Cons: Violence and nudity. More for adults than teenagers.
Don’t you just hate it when you are supposed to “feel” for a character – especially the ones that are seemingly richer than life, more handsome than a Greek god, engaged to a blonde spirit of light, and even worse have a job where they can spend more...
Pros: A solid, if starless, cast makes this a pretty good ensemble piece. That satirical content is great. Cons: No real plot slows the film down.
Ten years ago Bret Easton Ellis rocked the publishing world with his...to put it mildly, controversial novel "American Psycho." It told the tale that was the 1980's. It was the Me Generation and main character Patrick Bateman exemplified...

After a long conversation with my lawyers regarding Kathie Lee Gifford's appropriation of my original GlamorPuss designs for her cheap and tawdry knock-offs, I've learned I have little recourse as to stopping her. My legal friends have suggested that...
Pros: Dark, dark satire. You will laugh and wonder if it was appropriate. Witty. Cons: Strong violence, sexuality, drug use and strong language. Nudity. Blood.
Prepare yourself for a dark, disturbingly humorous satire on the rat-race culture of getting ahead in American business, as told through the character of Patrick Bateman, a pathetically shallow, idiotically psychotic, manic, out-of-control Wall Street...
Pros: Certainly not your average serial killer flick / Unique style makes it fairly interesting Cons: Supporting characters are not at all interesting / Weak script / Confusing Plot / Overly sexually graphic for no reason
Finally, after years of studio trading, director and actor squabbling, and controversy over its glorified sex and violence, the cult novel, "American Psycho," was adapted on film. Mary Harron ("I Shot Andy Warhol"), one of...
Pros: Art house style, Christopher Bale's acting, thematic use of 80's symbols, not excessively gory, controversial Cons: not for everyone, not straight forward plot movie, controversial
I've been looking forward to seeing American Psycho since first hearing the critical buzz about this cutting edge film and followed the hype about its battles with the MPAA to get the desired R rating. So last night American Psycho rolled...
Pros: Harsh, occasionally funny satire about a modern "success" who wants to elliminate ALL his competition! Cons: Unrelieved Nihilism and a crucial technical blunder by Director Harron.
AMERICAN PSYCHO is a cruel psychodrama of American Materialism. Set on Wall Street, in the Seventh Year of Our Reagan Who Art in California, Mary Harron has fashioned a slick, heartless satire of the Go-Go Society that is now the Ruling Class of The...
Pros: A rich visual sensibility. Cons: Every other aspect of the movie.
Before the book American Psycho was published in 1990, there was a level 5 hurricane of hot air released about it. First its original publisher decided against printing the book because of a near mutiny by outraged female staffers. Then...
