This is what I spent my entire night thinking about. Lying in bed at 2 AM, and 2:30 AM, and 3 AM, and 3:30 AM, I couldn't get my mind off of....

No, not Christian Bale's 5% body fat, but the movie he best displayed it in.....AMERICAN PSYCHO. This film came up in conversation the other night - it tends to do this every few months without fail - and (as usual) I haven't been able to get it off my mind. It's one of the greatest films ever made (and no, I'm not being facetious.) It speaks volumes about our modern culture, doing for the 1980's what "American Graffiti" did for the 1950's.

If you haven't seen it, please do. Even if you don't care for slasher films (of which this is one of the best) you are certain to be enthralled with the brilliant underground humor, philosophy, and irony that makes the film a true masterpiece.
