I don't watch foreign films except for American films, I felt that would've been pointing out the obvious.. Since American made films are the most predominant.

He doesn't watch movies in a language other than English. Happy?

Some great acting and a unique concept/script, but I still got kinda bored. Mediocre...

I enjoyed The Talented Mr Ripley from start to finish, although it's a little disjointed in places it's a gripping story line.

How did you get bored? :(

Well Full Metal Jacket was pretty awesome, and full of great lines.

My favorite among the many:

It was good, didn't quite know what I thought of it at first. I didn't know whether it was good or crap but I kind of grew into it, entertaining film.

Now you're on a roll... ;)

I just saw this:

I gotta say, I was impressed. The story-line was awesome, the acting was perfect, and the ending was perfect. I usually don't get into period movies but the story was the driving point.
I couldn't find much wrong with this one, aside from the realism aspect... but it's not supposed to be a realistic movie. It's multi-layered and shines a light on realistic things in regard to motive and such.

My favorite scene is probably the mob scene near the end. It's quite epic.

P.S... if you're offended by nudity, then don't watch this. Heh...

Exactly, great movie.

Definitely would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. Glad you enjoyed it, I've always found Patrick Bateman to be one of the most well transferred characters from book to film of all time.

TheCunningStunt 05-11-2010 12:15 AM

Bale actually played the part really well, I read that there was a few people attached to the project and I never really rated Bale, still don't, but I'm glad he played the part of Bateman. I've added American Pyscho to my favourites list, elements or horror, thriller, surrealism and humour all rolled into one. Top film.

I'm glad I finally did watch this and I'm glad I waited six years to do so, cos had I watched it when it came out, it might've destroyed me (2004 was a very bad year emotionally, in large part for reasons related directly to the subject matter here). That it makes the impression it did, even now, speaks to how intensely written it is, which makes me very curious about the play. The cinematic aspect was almost totally unobtrusive--something Nichols knows how to do really well--leaving the focus all on the acting, which was surprisingly spot-on in all four leads in ways I wouldn't have expected.

All in all, I'm really impressed, but I couldn't watch that again for a while.

Why do you need to say it like that?

I think you've gathered by now, I made a slight error in my post :)

Perhaps, I don't even remember which of the two I meant.

I think they do actually, although I never got films mixed up, I got names mixed up.
