: Virgin Suicides:
: I was looking forward to see this movie for a long time. It was a tad disappointing. I liked the story line but thought that there were some parts of the story that hopped all over the place. It seemed like a collaboration of thoughts, but wasn't consistent in portraying it as that.
: I'm gonna give it the second viewing. I thought it would have been a far better ending that instead of them all killing themselves in different ways they all hung themselves from the tree in the front lawn. Much more fitting ending I would think.
: American Psycho:
: Great movie. From what I heard I wasn't sure what to expect. This one is gonna have to get a second viewing if only for the reason that I still don't understand all of it. Just a really good movie with some really weird things in it. Disturbing view of capitalism. Very interesting.
I caught it one night halfway through on cable, when I was just coming in. I didn't know what it was but it scared the fuck out of me, though repeated viewings had me finding it more and more comical, still great film.
