American Psycho (2000)




A cool filmic adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' controversial 1991 novel of the same title

brilliantly directed, satirical but cheesy thriller and definitely a controversial material.

Nothing less is expected from quality actor Christian Bale...cleverest movies of recent years...Surrealism at its best.

one of my favorite quote from the movie :

{Waiter: Would you like to hear today's specials?

Patrick Bateman: Not if you want to keep your spleen.}

My rating : 9/10

Highly recommended.

Le Trou (1960)

a.k.a the Hole



IMDB link:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054407/

Wonderful 1960 film. Brilliant performances from a largely amateur cast and magnificent directing by Jacques Becker, who died after the film was edited . A prison cell. Five inmates. They plan to dig their way out. Technical detail is mesmerizing. The best jailbreak movie of all time. Metaphor for trying to cheat death. Top recommendation.

9/10

P.s: Its B & W movie but that's the beauty of it....must watch for 'Noir genre' lovers
