R-Heavy blood, and nudity, language. This is a pretty heavily R rated movie...
Yikes. Now if this movie didn't have a thin coat of dark comedy over it, I would be deeply disturbed. Instead I am only somewhat disturbed. Christian Bale (Dark Knight) stars in American Psycho. Meet Patrick Bateman, CEO of some business, who obsesses over everything. Such as in one scene, comparing business cards, pretty funny stuff. Now Meet Patrick Bateman after hours, a bloodthirsty psychopath, whom still is obsessive. Now this is an okay movie, Bale, as always, plays the role well, and the storyline is solid enough, but what I liked most was the ending, why? *spoiler alert* Because even after all is said and done, including his full out confession, he gets away with it, against his will. Oh, and Reese Witherspoon plays his fiancee, and fans of the band 30 Seconds to Mars will recognize Jared Leto, who plays the character Paul Allen. I would recommend this movie to fans of Bale, as well as fans of just thriller kind of movies. Is this thriller? I guess not.... Horror? No... Mystery? Hmm...

Best in Show-6.8/10
PG-13 -Language, suggestive themes
Have you ever watched any dog shows? It's pretty boring usually, but there something to watch, dogs getting evaluated 'n such. This movie takes you behind the scenes in a mock documentary type comedy way. The movie focuses on 5 (I think...) of the dogs entering the show, and there oddball owners. From the boring bloodhound owner, to the crazy poodle lesbians. This movie is pretty funny, with many funny actors including Eugene Levy (American Pie), John Michael Highins (Yes Man), Jane Lynch (Role Models), Fred Willard (this guy is in everything), and Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde). Some may not like the gay or lesbian couple in this movie, as they are stereotypical extreme homos. Which makes this movie even funnier. I gotta say, it was nice seein actors such as John Michael Higgins and Jane Lynch in bigger roles, in most movies I've seen they've played side characters at best. I'd recommend this movie to fans of such comedies as Role Models and comedies with above named actors.
