“American Psycho” Movie Review
“American Psycho” Plot Summary
A wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies.
One of the greatest visions ever brought to us
Spoilers includedThis is not a slasher movie, indeed. It’s a very deep, strange and delicate moment in satire. While it’s serious, it’s ironic and ridiculous. Great stuff! Funniest and the most (yes I dare say it) brilliant satire I’ve ever seen. Christian Bale’s performance is unbelievable and if someone disagrees, they have to show me how to perform an emotional breakdown for 2 minutes on a phone. Just unbelievable. I’ve seen this 5 times now and it never gets boring. All the characters in Bateman’s world live in materialism, self-obsession, wealth and empty lives which is saved for last as the horrifying truth for Patrick. None cares for anyone. Many may think that when Bateman runs around with a chainsaw in the hallway, somebody would call the cops. But that’s theme of this film: None cares except if it has something do with themselves. Brilliant, simply brilliant. When Bateman sees this, he gives up hope, implying that he is not going to stop his frenzy until someone stops him (which happens in that embarrassing sequel which I’m never going to watch). Mary Harron’s masterpiece, Bale’s best performance (without an Oscar nod of course), at the same time one of the shortest, deepest, confusing, puzzling and mysterious satire films ever. One of the best. It’s a must see. My personal favourite. DON’T miss it if you can take some violence mixed in with irony and very black and bold humor
Solid 9/10

“Fight Club” Movie Review
“Fight Club” Plot Summary
An office employee and a soap salesman build a global organization to help vent male aggression.
Fight Club (1999)
I feel it’s appropriate that this is the first film I am reviewing, as this is the film that changed me. This is the film that made me so passionate about it and drove me to want to study film at a tertiary institution and, you guessed it, write my own reviews. Obviously I was already really into film before my first viewing of Fight Club, but it was this film that set off that spark
Don’t let the title fool you. As a film fanatic, I always view a film without any prior ideas or opinions. This allows me to be able to write what I really thought of the film instead of writing a review on what I thought the film was going to be like. I understand that a lot of people go into the cinemas or video store and choose something to watch with the help of titles and covers. Would you go into the video store and pick up a DVD called Fight Club that was rated R18 with graphic violence and offensive language? If no, then that’s prior opinion. I didn’t let the title create a prior opinion. Now that I’ve cleared up any confusion with the title, I’m going to make this statement: Fight Club is a masterpiece
Jack, the narrator (Edward Norton), is a chronic insomniac desperate to escape his excruciatingly boring life. He joins these support groups for dying people. It becomes an addiction because it cures his insomnia. However, it is taken away from him when this girl named Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) starts turning up to the same support groups. This is when he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charismatic soap salesman with a twisted philosophy. Tyler believes self-improvement is for the weak it’s self-destruction that really makes life worth living. Before long, Jack and Tyler are beating each other to a pulp in a bar parking lot, a cathartic slugfest that delivers the ultimate high. To introduce other men to the simple joys of physical violence, Jack and Tyler form a secret Fight Club that becomes wildly successful. But there’s a shocking surprise waiting for Jack that will change everything
From the moment the opening credits start, the audience knows that it is going to be one bumpy ride. Fincher is well-known for having interesting and atmospheric opening credit sequences, and the beginning of Fight Club is no exception. The amount of adrenaline and thrill pumped into your veins as you view the opening credits is amazing. You cannot get much like it. Only Fincher could capture that mood and chuck it at you from the first few seconds of the film. From then on in, the film is fast and action fuelled, with moments of realisation, excessive violence, and even humour (Brad Pitt’s character Tyler Durden is comic relief in itself).
In my eyes, this film is a masterpiece. Every single element of the film is perfect. How the film is put together by Fincher, along with the soundtrack composed by The Dust Brothers, the storyline/twist ending, along with the superb performances from the actors and actresses, especially from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, Fight Club is and will probably remain my favourite film. 5 out of 5 stars. *****

“Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan” Movie Review
“Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” Plot Summary
Admiral Kirk’s midlife crisis is interrupted by the return of an old enemy looking for revenge and a potentially destructive device.
Best Star Trek movie (and one of the best sci-fi movies) ever!
I rented the first three of the six original Star Trek movies a couple of months ago. After trying to sit through The Motion Picture twice, and couldn’t, This one I expected to be similar. Quite contrary. While The Motion Picture (TMP) had bleak and dull lighting, costumes (bad costumes even for Star Trek) This starts off with Spock’s Iconic ear, and we see a well done scene (The reason I knew what was going on is because I read Leonard Nimoy’s biography, where he talks about the movie) Then we have Khan, the best Star Trek villain ever! Ricardo Montalban gave the best performance of the movie with great lines, and he was threatening
This movie also broke new ground with one thing: Chekov (Walter Koenig) actually did something that progressed the plot! after two seasons of just saying ‘mother Russia’ and occasionally giving an input, he actually progressed plot! I suppose that you know the ending by now (I won’t say, just in case you don’t. But even if you do know what will happen, you still will love the scene (If you just want to watch it, I first found it on YouTube, result of lack of patience to sit through the movie for hours when I just want to watch that scene) After watching the whole movie, I still loved it very much and almost cried
Just watch this movie, It is the best Star Trek movie, with First Contact as a close second. The only advantage this movie has is it isn’t actually a geeky movie like the other nine (or the five of which I have seen)

“Brother Bear” Movie Review
“Brother Bear” Plot Summary
A young Inuit hunter seeks vengence against a bear, only to be magically changed into a bear himself, and his only chance to change back is with a talkative bear cub. add synopsis
A breath of fresh air.
No, it’s not one of those older Disney ‘classics,’ but I loved the film to death. It has believable characters, beautiful animation, a good storyline, decent music, and best of all (or at least, the most refreshing of all) is that its humour and dialogue aren’t overdone like you see so often. It has good messages and memorable scenes
As far as a plot overview, if you don’t want your children to see a ‘gorey’ movie, despite a lack of blood and apparent injury, you should stay away from this film. Within the first fifteen minutes, both the main character’s older brother and a bear die. The movie also accepts occult ideas concerning religion, as there are spirits that live in the sky rather than a single god (which are capable of creating great changes) and instances where it embraces the idea of karma. But overall, this movie is as cute and cuddly as the bears it follows. It won’t screw up your kids
The animation in this film is beautiful. I’m a fan of the old style of drawing it on paper, then inking, then painting, as opposed to all of this Pixar-style crap Disney’s been spewing out lately (and no, Pixar movies are good, but Disney CGI films are baaaad). This style is all but dead, and Brother Bear is supposedly the second to last film to be hand-drawn. Appreciate it
I admit that some of the music was a bid… odd. Phil Collins, being the main player in that department, does a decent job singing, but the lyrics were kind of, well, stupid. The best song is the one sung in Inuit, if that makes a difference
I don’t want to say more in case you’re reading this despite the spoiler warning. The bottom line is, this movie is great. I love it. It’s one of my favourite Disney movies, and trust me, it’s much better than you may think if you’re of the belief it’s just another ‘get rich quick’ film. Buy it, watch it with your kids, and enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.
