I first saw this when I was in high school circa 2000.  At the time I was very much interested in living in New York City after having visited four times.  I also had a nostalgia for 1980's fashion and extravagance.  This movie is all the best of 80's opulence.  Do not watch this movie if you have a weak stomach or are sensitive to violence, because there is plenty of gore and violence in it.  Christian Bale does a wonderful job of conveying the self absorbed, narcissistic …

You can uncut it, recut it, rearrange it, but no matter what you do, the story still sucks. The only way to fix it is just to forget it.

American Psycho is a remarkable film that stars Christian Bale who plays a reserved rich kid who's has an easy do nothing job in his father's company. He spends his days doodling, hanging with his co-workers and buying business cards. His nights are spent expressing his unusual dark side. Just how whacked and crazy does he get? You'll have to watch the film or read the book because it's all too telling.     Christian Bale did a fantastic job at mimicking Tom Cruise …

What started out as a rather engaging look into the mind of a sociopath ended up more like a weird video game than a movie headlining staring a talent like Christian Bale (The Machinist, Batman …

I've finally caught a full viewing of the "American Psycho" because every time it came on TV I would usually catch it towards the end then turn it off. First I must say I found the title somewhat misleading as I fully expected it to be another slasher flick, but it's actually a psychological thriller with a dash of satire.    Christian Bale, as Patrick Bateman, gives a striking performance as a young, wealthy Wall Street yuppie, representing corporate America in the 1980's, where …

I remember when "American Psycho" came out on DVD. I was in fourth grade, and not a huge fan of horror movies. I instantly decided that I would never watch the film, because it looked like a stupid slasher flick. Then, a few months ago, I saw Christian Bale in "Batman Begins" and thought he was fantastic. I looked up "American Psycho" on the IMDb and it was rated pretty high. So I thought, what the hey, I'll give it a try.    I'm mighty glad that I did.    "American …
